26_EZE_16_01 again the word of the LORD came unto me , saying ,
26_EZE_16_02 son of man , cause Jerusalem to know her abominations ,
26_EZE_16_03 And say , thus saith the LORD God unto Jerusalem ; thy birth And thy nativity [ Is ] of the land of Canaan ; thy Father [ was ] an Amorite , And thy mother an Hittite .
26_EZE_16_04 And [ as for ] thy nativity , in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut , neither wast thou washed in water to supple [ thee ] ; thou wast not salted at all , nor swaddled at all .
26_EZE_16_05 none eye pitied thee , to do any of These unto thee , to have compassion upon thee ; but thou wast cast out in the open field , to the loathing of thy person , in the day that thou wast born .
26_EZE_16_06 And when I passed by thee , And saw thee polluted in thine own blood , I said unto thee [ when thou wast ] in thy blood , live ; yea , I said unto thee [ when thou wast ] in thy blood , live .
26_EZE_16_07 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field , And thou hast increased And waxen great , And thou art come to excellent ornaments : [ thy ] breasts are fashioned , And thine hair Is grown , whereas thou [ wast ] naked And bare .
26_EZE_16_08 now when I passed by thee , And looked upon thee , behold , thy time [ was ] the time of love ; And I spread my skirt over thee , And covered thy nakedness : yea , I sware unto thee , And entered into A covenant with thee , saith the LORD God , And thou becamest mine .
26_EZE_16_09 Then washed I thee with water ; yea , I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee , And I anointed thee with oil .
26_EZE_16_10 I clothed thee also with broidered work , And shod thee with badgers' skin , And I girded thee about with fine linen , And I covered thee with silk .
26_EZE_16_11 I decked thee also with ornaments , And I put bracelets upon thy hands , And A chain on thy neck .
26_EZE_16_12 And I put A jewel on thy forehead , And earrings in thine ears , And A beautiful crown upon thine head .
26_EZE_16_13 thus wast thou decked with gold And silver ; And thy raiment [ was of ] fine linen , And silk , And broidered work ; thou didst eat fine flour , And honey , And oil : And thou wast exceeding beautiful , And thou didst prosper into A kingdom .
26_EZE_16_14 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty : for it [ was ] perfect through my comeliness , which I had put upon thee , saith the LORD God .
26_EZE_16_15 but thou didst trust in thine own beauty , And playedst the harlot because of thy renown , And pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by ; his it was .
26_EZE_16_16 And of thy garments thou didst take , And deckedst thy high places with divers colours , And playedst the harlot thereupon : [ the like things ] shall not come , neither shall it be [ So ] .
26_EZE_16_17 thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold And of my silver , which I had given thee , And madest to thyself images of men , And didst commit whoredom with them ,
26_EZE_16_18 And tookest thy broidered garments , And coveredst them : And thou hast set mine oil And mine incense before them .
26_EZE_16_19 my meat also which I gave thee , fine flour , And oil , And honey , [ wherewith ] I fed thee , thou hast even set it before them for A sweet savour : And [ thus ] it was , saith the LORD God .
26_EZE_16_20 moreover thou hast taken thy sons And thy daughters , whom thou hast borne unto me , And These hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured . [ Is this ] of thy whoredoms A small matter ,
26_EZE_16_21 that thou hast slain my children , And delivered them to cause them to pass through [ the fire ] for them ?
26_EZE_16_22 And in all thine abominations And thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth , when thou wast naked And bare , [ And ] wast polluted in thy blood .
26_EZE_16_23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness , [ woe , woe unto thee ! saith the LORD God ; ]
26_EZE_16_24 [ that ] thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place , And hast made thee an high place in every street .
26_EZE_16_25 thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way , And hast made thy beauty to be abhorred , And hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by , And multiplied thy whoredoms .
26_EZE_16_26 thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours , great of flesh ; And hast increased thy whoredoms , to provoke me to anger .
26_EZE_16_27 behold , therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee , And have diminished thine ordinary [ food ] , And delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee , the daughters of the Philistines , which are ashamed of thy lewd way .
26_EZE_16_28 thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians , because thou wast unsatiable ; yea , thou hast played the harlot with them , And yet couldest not be satisfied .
26_EZE_16_29 thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea ; And yet thou wast not satisfied herewith .
26_EZE_16_30 how weak Is thine heart , saith the LORD God , seeing thou doest all These [ things ] , the work of an imperious whorish woman ;
26_EZE_16_31 in that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way , And makest thine high place in every street ; And hast not been as an harlot , in that thou scornest hire ;
26_EZE_16_32 [ but as ] A wife that committeth adultery , [ which ] taketh strangers instead of her husband !
26_EZE_16_33 they give gifts to all whores : but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers , And hirest them , that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom .
26_EZE_16_34 And the contrary Is in thee from [ other ] women in thy whoredoms , whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms : And in that thou givest A reward , And no reward Is given unto thee , therefore thou art contrary .
26_EZE_16_35 Wherefore , O harlot , hear the word of the LORD :
26_EZE_16_36 thus saith the LORD God ; because thy filthiness was poured out , And thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers , And with all the idols of thy abominations , And by the blood of thy children , which thou didst give unto them ;
26_EZE_16_37 behold , therefore I will gather all thy lovers , with whom thou hast taken pleasure , And all [ them ] that thou hast loved , with all [ them ] that thou hast hated ; I will even gather them round about against thee , And will discover thy nakedness unto them , that they may see all thy nakedness .
26_EZE_16_38 And I will judge thee , as women that break wedlock And shed blood are judged ; And I will give thee blood in fury And jealousy .
26_EZE_16_39 And I will also give thee into their hand , And they shall throw down thine eminent place , And shall break down thy high places : they shall strip thee also of thy clothes , And shall take thy fair jewels , And leave thee naked And bare .
26_EZE_16_40 they shall also bring up A company against thee , And they shall stone thee with stones , And thrust thee through with their swords .
26_EZE_16_41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire , And execute judgments upon thee in the sight of Many women : And I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot , And thou also shalt give no hire any more .
26_EZE_16_42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest , And my jealousy shall Depart from thee , And I will be quiet , And will be no more angry .
26_EZE_16_43 because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth , but hast fretted me in all These [ things ] ; behold , therefore I also will recompense thy way upon [ thine ] head , saith the LORD God : And thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations .
26_EZE_16_44 behold , every one that useth proverbs shall use [ this ] proverb against thee , saying , as [ Is ] the mother , [ So Is ] her daughter .
26_EZE_16_45 thou [ art ] thy mother's daughter , that loatheth her husband And her children ; And thou [ art ] the sister of thy sisters , which loathed their husbands And their children : your mother [ was ] an Hittite , And your Father an Amorite .
26_EZE_16_46 And thine elder sister [ Is ] Samaria , she And her daughters that dwell at thy left hand : And thy younger sister , that dwelleth at thy right hand , [ Is ] Sodom And her daughters .
26_EZE_16_47 yet hast thou not walked after their ways , nor done after their abominations : but , as [ if that were ] A very little [ thing ] , thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways .
26_EZE_16_48 [ as ] I live , saith the LORD God , Sodom thy sister hath not done , she nor her daughters , as thou hast done , thou And thy daughters .
26_EZE_16_49 behold , this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom , pride , fulness of bread , And abundance of idleness was in her And in her daughters , neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor And needy .
26_EZE_16_50 And they were haughty , And committed abomination before me : therefore I took them away as I saw [ good ] .
26_EZE_16_51 neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins ; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they , And hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done .
26_EZE_16_52 thou also , which hast judged thy sisters , bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they : they are more righteous than thou : yea , be thou confounded also , And bear thy shame , in that thou hast justified thy sisters .
26_EZE_16_53 when I shall bring again their captivity , the captivity of Sodom And her daughters , And the captivity of Samaria And her daughters , Then [ will I bring again ] the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them :
26_EZE_16_54 that thou mayest bear thine own shame , And mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done , in that thou art A comfort unto them .
26_EZE_16_55 when thy sisters , Sodom And her daughters , shall Return to their former estate , And Samaria And her daughters shall Return to their former estate , Then thou And thy daughters shall Return to your former estate .
26_EZE_16_56 for thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride ,
26_EZE_16_57 before thy wickedness was discovered , as at the time of [ thy ] reproach of the daughters of Syria , And all [ that are ] round about her , the daughters of the Philistines , which despise thee round about .
26_EZE_16_58 thou hast borne thy lewdness And thine abominations , saith the LORD .
26_EZE_16_59 for thus saith the LORD God ; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done , which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant .
26_EZE_16_60 Nevertheless I will Remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth , And I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant .
26_EZE_16_61 Then thou shalt Remember thy ways , And be ashamed , when thou shalt receive thy sisters , thine elder And thy younger : And I will give them unto thee for daughters , but not by thy covenant .
26_EZE_16_62 And I will establish my covenant with thee ; And thou shalt know that I [ am ] the LORD :
26_EZE_16_63 that thou mayest Remember , And be confounded , And never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame , when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done , saith the LORD God .
