34 Justness exalts a goyim; and sin is a shame to all nations.

Deuteronomy 4:6-8
6 Guard and work; for this is your wisdom and your discernment in the eyes of the people who hear all these statutes; and say, Surely this great goyim is a wise and discerning people!
7 For what goyim, so great, who has Elohim so nigh them, as Yah Veh our Elohim, for all we call on him?
8 And what goyim, so great, whose statutes and judgments as just as all this torah, which I set at your face this day?

THE BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE And so be it, if in hearkening, you hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim, to guard and to work all his misvoth which I misvah you this day, Yah Veh your Elohim gives you - most high above all goyim of the earth: 2 and all these blessings come on you and overtake you; because you hearken to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim. 3 Blessed, you in the city and blessed, you in the field; 4 blessed, the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil; and the fruit of your animals - the fetus of your yoke and the riches of your flocks; 5 blessed, your basket and your doughboard: 6 blessed in your coming and blessed in your going. 7 Yah Veh gives your enemies who rise against you - smitten at your face: they come against you one way and flee your face seven ways. 8 Yah Veh misvahs blessing on you in your ingatherings and in all you spread your hand to; and blesses you in the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you. 9 Yah Veh raises you - a holy people to himself, as he oathed to you, when you guard the misvoth of Yah Veh your Elohim and walk in his ways: 10 and all people of the earth see the name of Yah Veh called upon you; and they awe you: 11 and Yah Veh overflows you in goods - in the fruit of your belly and in the fruit of your animals and in the fruit of your soil - the soil Yah Veh oathed to your fathers to give you. 12 Yah Veh opens his good treasure to you - the heavens to give the rain to your land in its time and to bless all the work of your hand: and you lend to many goyim and you borrow not. 13 And Yah Veh gives you the head and not the tail; and you become only upward and you never become downward; when you hearken to the misvoth of Yah Veh your Elohim, which I misvah you this day to guard and to work: 14 and turn not aside from any of the words I misvah you this day - right or left, to go after other elohim to serve them. 15
THE CURSINGS OF DISOBEDIENCE And so be it, if you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard to work all his misvoth and his statutes which I misvah you this day, that all these abasements come on you and overtake you: 16 you, cursed in the city and you, cursed in the field: 17 cursed, your basket and your doughboard. 18 cursed, the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil; the fetus of your yoke and the riches of your flocks: 19 cursed in your coming and cursed in your going. 20 Yah Veh sends on you cursing, confusion and rebuke, in all you spread your hand to work, until you become desolated and until you suddenly destruct at the face of the evil of your exploits whereby you forsake me. 21 Yah Veh adheres the pestilence to you, until he finishes you off from the soil you go to possess. 22 Yah Veh smites you with an emaciation and with a fever and with an inflammation and with a fevered fever and with the sword and with blasting and with palegreen; and they pursue you until you destruct: 23 and your heavens over your head become copper and the earth under you becomes iron. 24 Yah Veh gives the rain of your land as powder and dust: to descend on you from the heavens until you desolate: 25 Yah Veh gives you, smitten at the face of your enemies: you go against them one way and flee their face seven ways: - removed into all the sovereigndoms of the earth. 26 And your carcase becomes food for all flyers of the heavens and for the animals of the earth and no man trembles them. 27 Yah Veh smites you with the ulcer of Misrayim and with the hemorrhoids and with the scurvy and with the itch whereof you cannot be healed. 28 Yah Veh smites you with insanity and blindness and consternation of heart: 29 and at noon, you grope in darkness as the blind grope; and you prosper not in your ways: and you become only oppressed and stripped all days and no man saves you. 30 You betroth a woman and another man rapes her; you build a house and you settle not therein; you plant a vineyard and pluck not thereof: 31 your ox, slaughtered in front of your eyes and you not eat thereof; your he burro, stripped at your face - never to return to you; your flocks, given to your enemies and no one saves them: 32 your sons and your daughters, given to another people; and your eyes see, and fail for them all the day long; and there is no el in your hand. 33 The fruit of your soil and all your labours, eaten by a people you know not; and you become only oppressed and crushed all days: 34 so that you become insane because of the visage your eyes see. 35 Yah Veh smites you in the knees and in the legs, with an evil ulcer that cannot be healed, from the sole of your foot to your scalp: 36 Yah Veh carries you and the sovereign you raise over you, to a goyim whom neither you nor your fathers know; and there you serve other elohim - timber and stone. 37 And you become a desolation, a proverb and a gibe, among all people Yah Veh drives you. 38 You carry much seed to the field but ingather little; for the locust consumes it: 39 you plant vineyards and serve them, but neither drink the wine nor gather the grapes; for the maggots eat them: 40 you have olives throughout all your borders, but you anoint not with the oil; for your olive slips: 41 you birth sons and daughters but enjoy them not; for they go to captivity: 42 all your trees and fruit of your soil the locust possesses. 43 The sojourner in your midst ascends upward and upward; and you descend downward and downward. 44 He lends to you and you lend not to him: he becomes the head and you become the tail. 45 And all these abasements come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you become desolated - because you hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim - to guard his misvoth and his statutes which he misvahed you: 46 and they become for a sign and for an omen on you and on your seed eternally: 47 because you serve not Yah Veh your Elohim with cheerfulness and with goodness of heart for the abundance of all 48 - you serve the enemies Yah Veh sends against you in famine and in thirst and in nakedness and in want of all: and he gives a yoke of iron upon your neck, until he desolates you: 49 Yah Veh lifts a goyim against you from afar - from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies; a goyim whose tongue you hear not; 50 a goyim strong of face who neither exalts the face of the aged nor grants charism to the lads: 51 and he eats the fruit of your animals and the fruit of your soil until you desolate: and no crop survives - juice or oil or the fetus of your yoke or the riches of your flocks until he destroys you: 52 and he tribulates you in all your portals until your high and fortified walls topple - wherein you confided, throughout all your land: and he tribulates you in all your portals throughout all the land Yah Veh your Elohim gives you: 53 and you eat the fruit of your own belly - the flesh of your sons and of your daughters; whom Yah Veh your Elohim gives you in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you: 54 so that the man among you - tender and mighty delicate, his eye becomes evil toward his brother and toward the woman of his bosom and toward the remnant of his sons who remain: 55 so that he gives not one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eats: because he has none to survive him in the siege and in the distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in all your portals. 56 The tender and delicate among you, who tests not to set the sole of her foot on the earth because of delicateness and tenderness, her eye becomes evil toward the man of her bosom and toward her son and toward her daughter 57 and toward her fetus coming from between her feet and toward the sons she births: for she eats them covertly for lack of all in the siege and distress, wherewith your enemies distress you in your portals. 58 If you guard not to work all the words of this torah inscribed in this scroll, to awe this honored and awesome name, YAH VEH YOUR ELOHIM; 59 then Yah Veh makes your strokes marvelous and the strokes of your seed, great strokes and trustworthy; and evil sicknesses, trustworthy: 60 and he restores on you all the diseases of Misrayim you feared at their face; and they adhere to you: 61 also every sickness and every stroke not inscribed in the scroll of this torah, Yah Veh ascends them on you until you desolate: 62 and you survive, few men in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for abundance; all because you hear not the voice of Yah Veh your Elohim. 63 And so be it, as Yah Veh rejoiced over you to well-please you and to abound you; thus Yah Veh rejoices over you to destroy you and to desolate you; and uproot you from the soil you go to possess: 64 and Yah Veh scatters you among all people from the end of the earth to the end of the earth; and there you serve other elohim which neither you nor your fathers know - timber and stone. 65 And among these goyim you neither blink nor rest the sole of your foot: and there Yah Veh gives you a quivering heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of soul: 66 and suspends your life in front of you; and you fear day and night and trust not in your life: 67 in the morning you say, O to give that it become evening! and at evening you say, O to give that it become morning! - for the fear of your heart that you fear and for the vision of your eyes that you see. 68 And Yah Veh returns you to Misrayim with ships by the way I said to you, You see it never again: and there you sell yourselves to your enemies for servants and maids - and no man chattels you.

Deuteronomy 29:18-28
18 lest there be among you man or woman or family or scion whose heart turns this day from the face of Yah Veh our Elohim, to go and serve the elohim of these goyim; lest there be among you a root that bears the fruit of rosh and wormwood.
19 And so be it, he hears the words of this oath, and blesses himself in his heart, saying, I have shalom, though I walk in the warp of my heart, to scrape together the satiated with the thirsty:
20 Yah Veh wills to not forgive him; for then the wrath and the jealousy of Yah Veh fumes against that man; and all the oaths inscribed in this scroll crouch upon him; and Yah Veh wipes his name from under the heavens:
21 and Yah Veh separates him from all the scions of Yisra El unto evil, according to all the oaths of the covenant inscribed in this scroll of the torah:
22 so that the latter generation of your sons who rise after you and the stranger who comes from a far land, say, - when they see the strokes of that land and the sicknesses Yah Veh strokes thereon
23 - and the whole land thereof of sulphur and salt and burning - neither seeded nor sprouting nor any herbage ascending therein - as the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Seboim whom Yah Veh overturned in his wrath and in his fury
24 - even all goyim say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land? - this great fuming wrath?
25 Then men say, Because they forsake the covenant of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them from the land of Misrayim:
26 and they go and serve other elohim and prostrate to them - elohim they never knew and whom he never allotted to them:
27 and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against this land to bring thereon all the abasements inscribed in this scroll:
28 and Yah Veh uproots them from their soil in wrath - in wrath and in great rage and casts them to another land, as this day.
Judges 2:6-14

THE DEATH OF YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua sends the people away; every man of the sons of Yisra El goes to his inheritance to possess the land: 7 and the people serve Yah Veh all the days of Yah Shua - and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Yah Shua - who saw all the great works Yah Veh worked for Yisra El. 8 And Yah Shua the son of Nun the servant of Yah Veh dies - a son of a hundred and ten years: 9 and they entomb him in the border of his inheritance - in Timnah Heres in the mount of Ephrayim on the north of Mount Gaash. 10
THE NEW GENERATIONS SERVE BAALIM
And all that generation also gathers to their fathers: and another generation rises after them who neither know Yah Veh nor the works he worked for Yisra El: 11 and the sons of Yisra El work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and serve Baalim: 12 and they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers who brought them from the land of Misrayim: and they go after other elohim - of the elohim of the people all around them; and prostrate themselves to them, and vex Yah Veh: 13 and they forsake Yah Veh and serve Baal and Ashtaroth. 14 And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El and he gives them into the hands of plunderers who plunder them; and he sells them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they cannot stand at the face of their enemies.
THE DEATH OF YAH SHUA
And Yah Shua sends the people away; every man of the sons of Yisra El goes to his inheritance to possess the land: 7 and the people serve Yah Veh all the days of Yah Shua - and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Yah Shua - who saw all the great works Yah Veh worked for Yisra El. 8 And Yah Shua the son of Nun the servant of Yah Veh dies - a son of a hundred and ten years: 9 and they entomb him in the border of his inheritance - in Timnah Heres in the mount of Ephrayim on the north of Mount Gaash. 10
THE NEW GENERATIONS SERVE BAALIM
And all that generation also gathers to their fathers: and another generation rises after them who neither know Yah Veh nor the works he worked for Yisra El: 11 and the sons of Yisra El work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and serve Baalim: 12 and they forsake Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers who brought them from the land of Misrayim: and they go after other elohim - of the elohim of the people all around them; and prostrate themselves to them, and vex Yah Veh: 13 and they forsake Yah Veh and serve Baal and Ashtaroth. 14 And Yah Veh kindles his wrath against Yisra El and he gives them into the hands of plunderers who plunder them; and he sells them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they cannot stand at the face of their enemies.
Psalms 107:34
34 a fruitful land to salt for the evil of them who settle therein.
Jeremiah 2:2-25
2 Go and call out in the ears of Yeru Shalem, saying, Thus says Yah Veh, I remember you; the mercy of your youth, the love of your betrothals - your going after me in the wilderness in a land not seeded.
3 Yisra El is holiness to Yah Veh and the firstlings of his produce: all who devour him guilt; evil comes on them, says Yah Veh.
4 You, hear the word of Yah Veh, O house of Yaaqov, and all the families of the house of Yisra El:
5 thus says Yah Veh, What wickedness found your fathers in me, that they removed afar from me and walked after vanity and became vain?
6 And said not, Where is Yah Veh who ascended us from the land of Misrayim? Who carried us through the wilderness - a land of plains and of chasms - a land of parch and of the shadow of death - a land where no man passed through and where no human settled?
7 And I bring you into a land of orchards/Karmel to eat the fruit and the goodness; and you enter and foul my land and set my inheritance an abhorrence.
8 The priests say not, Where is Yah Veh? and they who manipulate the torah know me not and the tenders rebel against me; and the prophets prophesy by Baal and walk after those who benefit not.
9 So I still plead with you, says Yah Veh - an oracle of Yah Veh and with the sons of your sons, I plead.
10 For pass over the islands of Kittim, and see; and send to Qedar, and discern mightily; and see if there be such.
11 Changes a goyim their elohim to a non-elohim? and my people change their honor for that which benefits not.
12 Astonish, O you heavens, at this, and shutter; parch mightily, says Yah Veh.
13 For my people work two evils: they forsake me, the fountain of living waters; and hew wells - broken wells that hold no water.
14 Is Yisra El a servant? Is he house birthed? Why is he for a plunder?
15 The whelps roar on him; they give their voice; and they place his land desolate: his cities burn without settler.
16 Also the sons of Noph and Tachpanches graze your scalp.
17 Worked you not this to yourself - in that you forsook Yah Veh your Elohim the time he carried you by the way?
18 And now what is it to you in the way of Misrayim to drink the waters of Shichor? Or what is it to you in the way of Ashshur to drink the waters of the river?
19 Your own evil disciplines you and your own apostasies reprove you: so know and see that it is evil and bitter to forsake Yah Veh your Elohim, and that my fear is not in you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth.
20 For from eternal time I broke your yoke and tore your bonds; and you say, I serve not! when on every high hill and under every green tree you stroll, whoring.
21 Yet I planted you, choice, wholly a seed of truth: how then turn you on me - into the twisted plant of a strange vine?
22 But though you launder yourself with nitre, and abound with soap, yet your perversity is inscribed at my face - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
23 How say you, I am not fouled: I go not after Baalim? See your way in the valley; know what you worked - a swift dromedary entangling her ways;
24 a wild runner discipled to the wilderness who gulps the wind at the yearning of her soul; who, in her occasion, turns her back? No one seeking her wearies themselves; in her month they find her.
25 Withhold your foot from being unshod and your throat from thirst. And you say, I quit! No; I love strangers and after them I go.
Ezekiel 16:1-63

THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING UNTRUSTING YERU SHALEM
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 Son of humanity, have Yeru Shalem know her abhorrences; 3 and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy: 4 and as for your kindred, in the day you were birthed, neither was your navel cut nor were you baptized in water for inspection; in salting, you were not salted; in swathing, you were not swathed: 5 no eye spared you, to work one of these to you - to compassion you; but you were cast out in the face of the field, to the loathing of your soul, in the day you were birthed. 6 And I pass you by and see you trampled in your own blood; and I say to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I say to you in your blood, Live! 7 I give you to abound by the myriads as the sprout of the field: and you abound and greaten; and you come with ornaments of ornaments: your breasts fashion and your hair sprouts, and you are naked and nude. 8 And I pass you by and see you; behold, your time is a time of loves: and I spread my wing over you and cover your nakedness: yes, I oath to you and enter a covenant with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you become mine: 9 and I baptize you with water; yes, I throughly wash away your blood from you and I anoint you with oil: 10 and I enrobe you with embroidery and shod you with skin of badgers; and I bind you with white linen and I cover you with silk: 11 and I adorn you with ornaments and I give clasps on your hands and a chain on your throat: 12 and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head: 13 and adorn you with gold and silver; and your robe is of white linen and silk and embroidery: you eat flour and honey and oil: and you are mightily beautified and you prosper into a sovereigndom: 14 and because of your beauty your name goes forth among the goyim: for it is perfect through my majesty which I set on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 15 And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him. 16 And from your clothes, you take of the patches, and work your bamahs and whore thereon: such as neither has come, nor becomes. 17 And you take your instruments of adornment of my gold and of my silver, which I give you, and work images of males to yourself and whore with them; 18 and take your clothes of embroidery and cover them: and you give my oil and my incense at their face: 19 and the meat I give you - flour and oil and honey to eat, you even give at their face for a scent of rest: and so be it, - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 20 And you take your sons and your daughters, whom you birthed to me, and you sacrifice them to be eaten. Are these trifling - your whoredoms, 21 to slaughter my sons, and give them to pass through? 22 And in all your abhorrences and your whoredoms you remember not the days of your youth, when you were naked and nude, and were trampled in your blood. 23 And so be it, after all your evil, - woe, woe to you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh 24 you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: 25 build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms. 26 And you whore with the sons of Misrayim your fellow tabernaclers, great of flesh; and abound your whoredoms to vex me. 27 Behold, I spread my hand over you and diminish your statute; and give you to the soul of them who hate you - the daughters of the Peleshethiym who shame over your way of intrigue. 28 And you whore with the sons of Ashshur, because you are not satisfied; yes, you whore with them, and yet you are not satisfied. 29 You abound your whoredom in the land of Kenaan to the Kesediym; and yet you are not satisfied with this. 30 How weak your heart - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh seeing you work all these - the work of a domineering whorish woman; 31 building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff; 32 but as a woman who adulterizes, who takes strangers instead of her man! 33 They give payoffs to all whores: and you give payoffs to all your lovers, and hire them to come to you from all around for your whoredom. 34 And the contrary is in you of women in your whoredoms; whereas no one whores after you: and in that you give a payoff and no payoff is given to you: so you are contrary. 35 So, O whore, hear the word of Yah Veh! 36 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your copper is poured, and your nakedness exposed through your whoredoms with your lovers and with all the idols of your abhorrences, and by the blood of your sons, which you give them; 37 behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness. 38 And I judge you with judgments as adulteresses who pour blood; and I give you blood and fury and jealousy: 39 and I give you into their hand: and they throw down your arch and pull down your ramahs: and they strip you of your clothes and take your instruments of adornment; and leave you naked and nude: 40 and they ascend a congregation against you and stone you with stones and section you with their swords: 41 and they burn your houses with fire and work judgments on you in the eyes of many women: and I shabbathize you from whoring and that you give a payoff no more. 42 Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more. 43 Because you remember not the days of your youth, and quiver me in all these: behold, even I also give your way on your head - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh that you not work this intrigue above all your abhorrences. 44 Behold, every one who proverbializes proverbs proverbializes this proverb against you, saying, As the mother, thus her daughter. 45 You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her man and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathe their men and their sons: your mother is a Hethiy and your father an Emoriy: 46 and your great sister is Shomeron - she and her daughters who settle at your left: and your younger sister who settles at your right is Sedom and her daughters. 47 Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they. 48 I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sedom your sister - neither she nor her daughters work as you work - you and your daughters. 49 Behold, this is the perversity of your sister Sedom: pomp, sufficiency of bread, and the serenity of resting are in her and in her daughters, she strengthens not the hand of the humble and needy: 50 and they lift themselves and work abhorrence at my face: and I turn them aside when I see. 51 As for Shomeron: she sins not the half of your sins; but you abound your abhorrences more than they and justify your sisters in all the abhorrences you work. 52 You also, who judge your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins - more abhorrent than theirs: they are justified more than you: yes you, shame also and bear your shame in that you justify your sisters. 53 When I restore their captivity - the captivity of Sedom and her daughters and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters and the captivity of your captives in their midst: 54 that you bear your own shame and confound in all you work in that you sigh over them. 55 When your sisters, Sedom and her daughters, return to their former estate, and Shomeron and her daughters return to their former estate, then you and your daughters return to your former estate. 56 For your mouth reports not your sister Sedom in the day of your pomp 57 ere your evil is exposed as at the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, the daughters of the Peleshethiy, who despise you all around. 58 You bear your intrigue and your abhorrences - an oracle of Yah Veh. 59 For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I work with you as you work - who despise the oath to break the covenant. 60 I remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth; and I raise to you an eternal covenant. 61 Then you remember your ways and shame - when you take your sisters - your greater and your younger: and I give them to you for daughters, - and not by your covenant: 62 and I raise my covenant with you; and you know, I - Yah Veh: 63 so that you remember, and shame; that you not open your mouth any more at the face of your shame, when I kapar/atone for you for all you work - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING UNTRUSTING YERU SHALEM
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 Son of humanity, have Yeru Shalem know her abhorrences; 3 and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy: 4 and as for your kindred, in the day you were birthed, neither was your navel cut nor were you baptized in water for inspection; in salting, you were not salted; in swathing, you were not swathed: 5 no eye spared you, to work one of these to you - to compassion you; but you were cast out in the face of the field, to the loathing of your soul, in the day you were birthed. 6 And I pass you by and see you trampled in your own blood; and I say to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I say to you in your blood, Live! 7 I give you to abound by the myriads as the sprout of the field: and you abound and greaten; and you come with ornaments of ornaments: your breasts fashion and your hair sprouts, and you are naked and nude. 8 And I pass you by and see you; behold, your time is a time of loves: and I spread my wing over you and cover your nakedness: yes, I oath to you and enter a covenant with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you become mine: 9 and I baptize you with water; yes, I throughly wash away your blood from you and I anoint you with oil: 10 and I enrobe you with embroidery and shod you with skin of badgers; and I bind you with white linen and I cover you with silk: 11 and I adorn you with ornaments and I give clasps on your hands and a chain on your throat: 12 and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head: 13 and adorn you with gold and silver; and your robe is of white linen and silk and embroidery: you eat flour and honey and oil: and you are mightily beautified and you prosper into a sovereigndom: 14 and because of your beauty your name goes forth among the goyim: for it is perfect through my majesty which I set on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 15 And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him. 16 And from your clothes, you take of the patches, and work your bamahs and whore thereon: such as neither has come, nor becomes. 17 And you take your instruments of adornment of my gold and of my silver, which I give you, and work images of males to yourself and whore with them; 18 and take your clothes of embroidery and cover them: and you give my oil and my incense at their face: 19 and the meat I give you - flour and oil and honey to eat, you even give at their face for a scent of rest: and so be it, - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 20 And you take your sons and your daughters, whom you birthed to me, and you sacrifice them to be eaten. Are these trifling - your whoredoms, 21 to slaughter my sons, and give them to pass through? 22 And in all your abhorrences and your whoredoms you remember not the days of your youth, when you were naked and nude, and were trampled in your blood. 23 And so be it, after all your evil, - woe, woe to you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh 24 you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: 25 build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms. 26 And you whore with the sons of Misrayim your fellow tabernaclers, great of flesh; and abound your whoredoms to vex me. 27 Behold, I spread my hand over you and diminish your statute; and give you to the soul of them who hate you - the daughters of the Peleshethiym who shame over your way of intrigue. 28 And you whore with the sons of Ashshur, because you are not satisfied; yes, you whore with them, and yet you are not satisfied. 29 You abound your whoredom in the land of Kenaan to the Kesediym; and yet you are not satisfied with this. 30 How weak your heart - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh seeing you work all these - the work of a domineering whorish woman; 31 building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff; 32 but as a woman who adulterizes, who takes strangers instead of her man! 33 They give payoffs to all whores: and you give payoffs to all your lovers, and hire them to come to you from all around for your whoredom. 34 And the contrary is in you of women in your whoredoms; whereas no one whores after you: and in that you give a payoff and no payoff is given to you: so you are contrary. 35 So, O whore, hear the word of Yah Veh! 36 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your copper is poured, and your nakedness exposed through your whoredoms with your lovers and with all the idols of your abhorrences, and by the blood of your sons, which you give them; 37 behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness. 38 And I judge you with judgments as adulteresses who pour blood; and I give you blood and fury and jealousy: 39 and I give you into their hand: and they throw down your arch and pull down your ramahs: and they strip you of your clothes and take your instruments of adornment; and leave you naked and nude: 40 and they ascend a congregation against you and stone you with stones and section you with their swords: 41 and they burn your houses with fire and work judgments on you in the eyes of many women: and I shabbathize you from whoring and that you give a payoff no more. 42 Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more. 43 Because you remember not the days of your youth, and quiver me in all these: behold, even I also give your way on your head - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh that you not work this intrigue above all your abhorrences. 44 Behold, every one who proverbializes proverbs proverbializes this proverb against you, saying, As the mother, thus her daughter. 45 You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her man and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathe their men and their sons: your mother is a Hethiy and your father an Emoriy: 46 and your great sister is Shomeron - she and her daughters who settle at your left: and your younger sister who settles at your right is Sedom and her daughters. 47 Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they. 48 I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sedom your sister - neither she nor her daughters work as you work - you and your daughters. 49 Behold, this is the perversity of your sister Sedom: pomp, sufficiency of bread, and the serenity of resting are in her and in her daughters, she strengthens not the hand of the humble and needy: 50 and they lift themselves and work abhorrence at my face: and I turn them aside when I see. 51 As for Shomeron: she sins not the half of your sins; but you abound your abhorrences more than they and justify your sisters in all the abhorrences you work. 52 You also, who judge your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins - more abhorrent than theirs: they are justified more than you: yes you, shame also and bear your shame in that you justify your sisters. 53 When I restore their captivity - the captivity of Sedom and her daughters and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters and the captivity of your captives in their midst: 54 that you bear your own shame and confound in all you work in that you sigh over them. 55 When your sisters, Sedom and her daughters, return to their former estate, and Shomeron and her daughters return to their former estate, then you and your daughters return to your former estate. 56 For your mouth reports not your sister Sedom in the day of your pomp 57 ere your evil is exposed as at the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, the daughters of the Peleshethiy, who despise you all around. 58 You bear your intrigue and your abhorrences - an oracle of Yah Veh. 59 For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I work with you as you work - who despise the oath to break the covenant. 60 I remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth; and I raise to you an eternal covenant. 61 Then you remember your ways and shame - when you take your sisters - your greater and your younger: and I give them to you for daughters, - and not by your covenant: 62 and I raise my covenant with you; and you know, I - Yah Veh: 63 so that you remember, and shame; that you not open your mouth any more at the face of your shame, when I kapar/atone for you for all you work - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE ABHORRENCES OF YISRA EL
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 You, son of humanity, Judge you? Judge you the city of blood? Yes, have her know all her abhorrences, 3 saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city pours blood in its midst, so that her time approaches: and she works idols against herself to foul herself. 4 You guilt in that you pour blood; and foul yourself by the idols you work; and you cause your days to approach, and approach your years: so I give you - a reproach to the goyim and a ridicule to all lands. 5 The near, and the far from you, all ridicule you, O polluted of name and much confused. 6 Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: 7 in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. 8 You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths: 9 in you are men - talebearers to pour blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in your midst they work intrigue: 10 in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. 11 And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father: 12 in you they take bribes to pour blood: you take usury and bounty and you greedily gain of your friends by extortion: and forget me - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 13 And behold, I smite my palm at the greedy gain you work; and at your blood in your midst. ] 14 Stands your heart? Or are your hands strong in the days I work with you? I Yah Veh word and work: 15 and I winnow you among the goyim and disperse you in the lands and consume your foulness from you: 16 and you profane yourself in the eyes of the goyim, and you know I - Yah Veh. 17 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 18 Son of humanity, the house of Yisra El is to me become dross: all they are copper and tin and iron and lead midst the furnace - drosses of silver. 19 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you all become dross, behold, so I gather you midst Yeru Shalem: 20 a gathering of silver and copper and iron and lead and tin midst the furnace, to puff the fire thereon, to melt: thus I gather you in my wrath and in my fury and I leave you and melt you: 21 yes, I gather you, and puff on you in the fire of my wrath, and melt you in the midst: 22 as silver melts midst the furnace, thus you melt in the midst: and you know that I Yah Veh pour my fury on you. 23 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying,
THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING THE ABHORRENCES OF YISRA EL
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 You, son of humanity, Judge you? Judge you the city of blood? Yes, have her know all her abhorrences, 3 saying, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: The city pours blood in its midst, so that her time approaches: and she works idols against herself to foul herself. 4 You guilt in that you pour blood; and foul yourself by the idols you work; and you cause your days to approach, and approach your years: so I give you - a reproach to the goyim and a ridicule to all lands. 5 The near, and the far from you, all ridicule you, O polluted of name and much confused. 6 Behold, the hierarchs of Yisra El, every man of you, according to his arm, pours blood: 7 in you they abase father and mother: in your midst they worked oppression with the sojourner: in you they vex the orphan and the widow. 8 You despise my holies and you profane my shabbaths: 9 in you are men - talebearers to pour blood: and in you they eat on the mountains: in your midst they work intrigue: 10 in you they expose the nakedness of their fathers: in you they debase her who was excluded for foulness. 11 And every man works abhorrence with the woman of his friend: and every man intriguingly fouls his daughter in law: and every man in you debases his sister - the daughter of his father: 12 in you they take bribes to pour blood: you take usury and bounty and you greedily gain of your friends by extortion: and forget me - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 13 And behold, I smite my palm at the greedy gain you work; and at your blood in your midst. ] 14 Stands your heart? Or are your hands strong in the days I work with you? I Yah Veh word and work: 15 and I winnow you among the goyim and disperse you in the lands and consume your foulness from you: 16 and you profane yourself in the eyes of the goyim, and you know I - Yah Veh. 17 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 18 Son of humanity, the house of Yisra El is to me become dross: all they are copper and tin and iron and lead midst the furnace - drosses of silver. 19 So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you all become dross, behold, so I gather you midst Yeru Shalem: 20 a gathering of silver and copper and iron and lead and tin midst the furnace, to puff the fire thereon, to melt: thus I gather you in my wrath and in my fury and I leave you and melt you: 21 yes, I gather you, and puff on you in the fire of my wrath, and melt you in the midst: 22 as silver melts midst the furnace, thus you melt in the midst: and you know that I Yah Veh pour my fury on you. 23 And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying,
