⁹ And he said unto me, "Go thy way in, and look what wicked abominations they do there." ¹⁰ So I went in, and saw: and behold, there were all manner of images of worms and beasts, all Idols and abominations of the house of Israel painted every which one round about the wall. ¹¹ There stood also before the images: Seventy lords of the counsel of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. And every one of them had a censor in his hand, and out of the incense there went a smoke, as it had been a cloud. ¹² Then said he unto me, "Thou son of man, hast thou seen what the Senators of the house of Israel do secretly, everyone in his chamber? For they say, 'Tush, the LORD seeth us not, the LORD regardeth not the world.'" ¹³ And he said unto me, "Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see the great abominations that they do." ¹⁴ And with that he brought me to the door of the port of the LORD's house, toward the north. And behold, there sat women mourning for Tammuz. ¹⁵ Then said he unto me, "Hast thou seen this, thou son of man? Turn ye about, and thou shalt see yet greater abominations." ¹⁶ And so he brought me into the inward court of the LORD's house. And behold, at the port of the LORD's house, betwixt the fore entry and the altar, there were five and twenty men that turned their backs on the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east, and these worshiped the sun. ¹⁷ And he said unto me, "Hast thou seen this thou son of man? Thinketh the house of Israel that it is but a trifle to do these abominations here? Should they fill the land full of wickedness, and undertake to provoke me unto anger? Yea, and purposely to cast up their noses upon me?

¹ Again, the word of the LORD spake unto me, saying, ² "Thou son of man, show the city of Jerusalem their abominations, ³ and say, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God unto Jerusalem: Thy progeny and kindred came out of the land of Canaan, thy father was an Amorite, thy mother a Hittite. ⁴ In the day of thy birth when thou wast born, the string of thy navel was not cut off; thou wast not bathed in water to make thee clean; thou wast neither rubbed with salt, nor swaddled in clouts; ⁵ No man regarded that so much, as to do any of these things for thee, or to show thee such favour, but thou wast utterly cast out upon the field: yea, despised wast thou in the day of thy birth. ⁶ "'Then came I by thee, and saw thee trodden down in thine own blood, and said unto thee, 'Thou shalt be purged from thine own blood; from thine own blood, I say, shalt thou be cleansed.' ⁷ So I planted thee, as the blossom of the field. Thou art grown up, and waxen great: thou hast gotten a marvelous pleasant beauty, thy breasts are come up, thy hair is goodly grown; whereas thou wast naked and bare afore. ⁸ Now when I went by thee, and looked upon thee: behold, thy time was come; yea, even the time to vow thee. Then spread I my clothes over thee, to cover thy dishonesty: Yea, I made an oath unto thee, and married myself with thee, sayeth the LORD God; and so thou becamest mine own. ⁹ Then washed I thee with water, and purged thy blood from thee; I anointed thee with oil, ¹⁰ I gave thee change of raiments; I made thee shoes of Taxus leather; I girded thee about with white silk; I clothed thee with kerchiefs; ¹¹ I decked thee with costly apparel; I put rings upon thy fingers, ¹² a chain about thy neck, spangles upon thy forehead, earrings upon thine ears, and set a beautiful crown upon thine head. ¹³ Thus wast thou decked with silver and gold, and thy raiment was of fine white silk, of needle work and divers colors. Thou didst eat nothing but simnels, honey and oil: marvelous goodly wast thou, and beautiful, yea even a very Queen wast thou. ¹⁴ Insomuch, that thy beauty was spoken of among the Heathen, for thou wast excellent in my beauty, which I put upon thee, sayeth the LORD God. ¹⁵ "'But thou hast put confidence in thine own beauty, and played the harlot, when thou hadst gotten thee a name. Thou hast committed whoredom with all that went by thee, and hast fulfilled their desires: ¹⁶ Yea, thou hast taken thy garments of divers colors, and decked thine altars therewith, whereupon thou mightest fulfill thine whoredom, of such a fashion as never was done, nor shall be. ¹⁷ The goodly ornaments and Jewels which I gave thee of mine own gold and silver, hast thou taken, and made thee men's images thereof, and committed whoredom withal. ¹⁸ Thy garments of divers colors hast thou taken, and decked them therewith: mine oil and incense hast thou set before them. ¹⁹ My meat which I gave thee, as simnels, oil and honey to feed thee withal, that hast thou set before them, for a sweet savour. And this came also to pass, sayeth the LORD God. ²⁰ Thou hast taken thine own sons and daughters, whom thou hast begotten unto me: and these hast thou offered up to them, to be their meat. Is this but a small whoredom of thine, thinkest thou, ²¹ that thou slayest my children, and givest them over to be burnt unto them? ²² And yet in all thy abominations and whoredom, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth:, how naked and bare thou wast at that time, and trodden down in thine own blood. ²³ After all these thy wickednesses, woe, woe unto thee, sayeth the LORD. ²⁴ Thou hast builded thy stews and brothel houses in every place: yea, at the head of every street hast thou builded thee an altar. ²⁵ Thou hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, thou hast laid out thy legs to every one that came by, and multiplied thine whoredom. ²⁶ Thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, which had much flesh: and thus hast thou used thine whoredom to anger me. ²⁷ Behold, I will stretch out mine hand over thee, and will diminish thy store of food, and deliver thee over into the wiles of the Philistines thine enemies, which are ashamed of thy abominable way. ²⁸ Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, which might not satisfy thee. Yea, thou hast played the harlot, and not had enough. ²⁹ Thus hast thou still committed thy fornication from the land of Canaan unto the Chaldeans, and yet thy lust not satisfied. ³⁰ How should I circumcise thine heart, sayeth the LORD God, seeing thou doest all these things, thou precious whore? ³¹ Building thy stews at the head of every street, and thy brothel houses in all places? Thou hast not been as another whore, that maketh boast of her winning; ³² but as a wife that breaketh wedlock, and taketh other instead of her husband. ³³ Gifts are given to all other whores, but thou givest rewards unto all thy lovers; and offerest them gifts, to come unto thee out of all places and to commit fornication with thee. ³⁴ It is come to pass with thee in thy whoredoms, contrary to the use of other women: yea, there hath no such fornication been committed after thee, seeing that thou profferest gifts unto other, and no regard is given thee. This is a contrary thing. ³⁵ "'Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O thou harlot. ³⁶ Thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as thou hast spent thy money, and discovered thy shame - through thy whoredom with all thy lovers, and with all the Idols of thy abominations, in the blood of thy children whom thou hast given them - ³⁷ Behold therefore, I will gather together all thy lovers, unto whom thou hast made thy self common. Yea, and all them whom thou favourest, and euery one that thou hatest: and will uncover thy shame before them, that they all may see thy filthiness. ³⁸ Moreover, I will judge thee as a breaker of wedlock and a murderer, and recompense thee thine own blood in wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ I will give thee over into their power, that shall break down thy stews, and destroy thy brothel houses: they shall strip thee out of thy clothes, all thy fair and beautiful Jewels shall they take from thee, and so let thee sit naked and bare. ⁴⁰ Yea, they shall bring the common people upon thee, which shall stone thee, and slay thee down with their swords. ⁴¹ They shall burn up thy houses, and punish thee in the sight of many women. Thus will I make thy whoredom to cease, so that thou shalt give out no more rewards. ⁴² Should I make my wrath to be still, take my jealousy from thee, be content, and no more to be displeased? ⁴³ Seeing thou rememberest not the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me to wrath in all these things? Behold therefore, I will bring thine own ways upon thine head, sayeth the LORD God: howbeit, I never did unto thee, according to thy wickedness and all thy abominations. ⁴⁴ "'Behold, all they that use common proverbs, shall use this proverb also against thee: 'Like mother, like daughter.' ⁴⁵ Thou art even thy mother's own daughter, that hath cast off her husband and her children. Yea, thou art the sister of thy sisters, which forsook their husbands and their children. Your mother is a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ Thine eldest sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell upon thy left hand. But thy youngest sister that dwelleth on thy righthand, is Sodom and her daughters. ⁴⁷ Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but in all thy ways thou hast been more corrupt than they. ⁴⁸ As truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, Sodom thy sister with her daughters hath not done so evil as thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹ Behold, the sins of thy sister Sodom, were these: Pride, fullness of meat, abundance and Idleness: these things had she and her daughters. Besides that, they reached not their hand to the poor and needy, ⁵⁰ but were proud - And did abominable things before me, wherefore I took them away when I had seen it. ⁵¹ Neither hath Samaria done half of thy sins. Yea, thou hast exceeded them in wickedness: Insomuch that in comparison of all the abominations which thou hast done, thou hast made thy sisters good women. ⁵² Therefore thou which didst condemn thy sister: bear thine own shame, for thine own offences that thou hast committed - more abominable than they did, which indeed are more righteous than thou art. Be thou, I say, ashamed; and bear thy shameful rebuke, seeing that thou has proven thy sisters in comparison of the righteous. ⁵³ As for their captivity, namely the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, the captivity of Samaria and her daughters: I will bring them again. So will I also bring again thy captivity among them: ⁵⁴ that thou mayest take thine own confusion upon thee, and be ashamed of all that thou hast done, and to comfort them. ⁵⁵ Thus thy sisters, namely Sodom and her daughters, Samaria and her daughters, with thyself and thy daughters, shall be brought again to your old estate. ⁵⁶ When thou wast in thy pride, ⁵⁷ and before thy wickedness came to light: thou wouldest not hear speak of thy sister Sodom, until the time that the Syrians with all their towns, and the Philistines, with all that lie round about them, brought thee to shame and confusion: ⁵⁸ that thou mightest bear thine own filthiness and abomination, sayeth the LORD. ⁵⁹ For thus sayeth the LORD God: I should, by right, deal with thee, as thou hast done. Thou hast despised the oath, and broken the covenant. ⁶⁰ "'Nevertheless, I will remember the covenant that I made with thee in thy youth, insomuch that it shall be an everlasting covenant: ⁶¹ So that thou also remember thy ways, and be ashamed of them. Then shalt thou receive of me thy elder and younger sisters, whom I will make thy daughters: and that beside thy covenant. ⁶² And so I will renew my covenant with thee, that thou mayest know that I am the LORD: ⁶³ That thou mayest think upon it, be ashamed, and excuse thine own confusion no more: when I have forgiven thee all that thou hast done, sayeth the LORD God.'"

⁴ I will give you no answer.' Wilt thou not reprove them, thou son of man? Wilt thou not reprove them? Show them the abominations of their forefathers, and tell them: 'Thus sayeth the LORD God:

¹ The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, ² "Thou son of man, there were two women, that had one mother. ³ These, when they were young, began to play the harlots in Egypt. There were their breasts bruised, and the paps of their maidenhead destroyed. ⁴ The eldest of them was called Oholah and her youngest sister Oholibah. These two were mine, and bare sons and daughters. Their names were, Samaria, and that was Oholah: and Jerusalem, that was Oholibah. ⁵ As for Oholah, she began to go a whoring, when I had taken her to me. She was set on fire upon her lovers the Assyrians, ⁶ which had to do with her: even the princes and lords, that were decked in costly array: fair young men, lusty riders of horses. ⁷ Thus through her whoredom, she cleaved unto all the young men of Assyria: Yea she was mad upon them, and defiled herself with all their Idols. ⁸ Neither ceased she from the fornication, that she used with the Egyptians: for in her youth they lay with her, they bruised the breasts of her maidenhead, and poured their whoredom upon her. ⁹ Wherefore, I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, even the Assyrians, whom she so loved. ¹⁰ These discovered her shame, took her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: An evil name gat she of all people, and they punished her. ¹¹ "Her sister Oholibah saw this, and destroyed herself with inordinate love, more than she, and exceeded her sister in whoredom: ¹² she loved the Assyrians, which also lay with her: namely, the princes and great lords, that were clothed with all manner of gorgeous apparel, all lusty horsemen and fair young persons. ¹³ Then I saw, that they both were defiled alike. ¹⁴ But she increased still in whoredom: for when she saw men painted upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth with fresh colors, ¹⁵ with fair girdles about them, and goodly bonnets upon their heads, looking all like princes after the manner of the Babylonians and Chaldeans in their own land, where they be born, ¹⁶ immediately, as soon as she saw them, she burnt in love upon them, and sent messengers for them into the land of the Chaldeans. ¹⁷ Now when the Babylonians came to her, they lay with her, and defiled her with their whoredom, and so was she polluted with them. And when her lust was abated from them, ¹⁸ her whoredom and shame was discovered and seen: then my heart forsook her, like as my heart was gone from her sister also. ¹⁹ Nevertheless, she used her whoredom ever the longer, the more; and remembered the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. ²⁰ She burnt in lust upon them, whose flesh was like the flesh of Asses, and their seed like the seed of horses. ²¹ Thus thou hast renewed the filthiness of thy youth, when thy lovers bruised thy paps, and marred thy breasts in Egypt. ²² "Therefore, O Oholibah, thus sayeth the LORD God: I will raise up thy lovers, with whom thou hast satisfied thy lust, against thee; and gather them together round about thee. ²³ Namely, the Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans: Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, with all the Assyrians: all young and fair lovers, princes and lords, knights and gentlemen, which be all good horsemen. ²⁴ These shall come upon thee with horses, chariots, and a great multitude of people: which shall be harnessed about thee on every side, with breastplates, shields and helmets. I will punish thee before them; yea, they themselves shall punish thee according to their own judgment. ²⁵ I will put my jealousy upon thee, so that they shall deal cruelly with thee. They shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and the remnant shall fall through the sword. They shall carry away thy sons and daughters, and the residue shall be burnt in the fire. ²⁶ They shall strip thee out of thy clothes, and carry thy costly jewels away with them. ²⁷ Thus will I make an end of thy filthiness and whoredom, which thou hast brought out from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt turn thine eyes no more after them, and cast thy mind no more upon Egypt. ²⁸ For thus sayeth the LORD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest: yea, even into the hands of them with whom thou hast fulfilled thy lust. ²⁹ Which shall deal cruelly with thee: All thy labour shall they take with them, and leave thee naked and bare, and thus the shame of thy filthy whoredom shall come to light. ³⁰ All these things shall happen unto thee because of thy whoredom, which thou hast used among the Gentiles, with whose Idols thou hast defiled thyself. ³¹ Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister, therefore will I give thee her cup in thy hand. ³² Thus sayeth the LORD God: Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup, how deep and far soever it be to the bottom. Thou shalt be laughed to scorn, and had as greatly in derision, as is possible. ³³ Thou shalt be full of drunkenness and sorrow, for the cup of thy sister Samaria is a cup of destruction and wasting: ³⁴ The same shalt thou drink, and sup it out even to the dregs. Yea, thou shalt eat up the broken pieces of it, and so tear thine own breasts: for even I have spoken it, sayeth the LORD God. ³⁵ Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Forsomuch as thou hast forgotten me, and cast me aside, so bear now thy own filthiness and whoredom." ³⁶ The LORD said moreover unto me, "Thou son of man, wilt thou not reprove Oholah and Oholibah? Show them their abominations: ³⁷ namely, that they have broken their wedlock, and stained their hands with blood: yea even with their idols have they committed adultery, and offered them their own children to be devoured, whom they have born unto me. ³⁸ Yea, and this have they done unto me also: they have defiled my Sanctuary in that same day, and have unhallowed my Sabbath. ³⁹ For when they had slain their children for their idols, they came the same day into my Sanctuary to defile it. Lo, this have they done in my house. ⁴⁰ Beside all this, thou hast sent thy messengers for men out of far countries: and when they came, thou hast bathed, trimmed and set forth thyself of the best fashion. ⁴¹ Thou sattest upon a goodly bed, and a table spread before thee: whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil. ⁴² Then was there great cheer with her: and the men that were sent from far countries over the desert, unto these they gave bracelets upon their hands, and set glorious crowns upon their heads. ⁴³ Then thought I, 'No doubt, these will use their harlotry also with yonder old whore.' ⁴⁴ And they went into her, as unto a common harlot: Even so went they also to Oholah and Oholibah those filthy women. ⁴⁵ O ye all that love virtue and righteousness, judge them! Punish them as adulterers and murderers ought to be judged and punished. For they are breakers of wedlock, and the blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ Wherefore thus sayeth the LORD God: Bring a great multitude of people upon them, and make them be scattered and spoiled: ⁴⁷ these shall stone them and gore them with their swords. They shall slay their sons and daughters and burn up their houses with fire. ⁴⁸ Thus will I destroy all such filthiness out of the land, that all women may learn not to do after your uncleanness. ⁴⁹ And so they shall lay your filthiness upon your own selves, and ye shall be punished for the sins that ye have committed with your Idols: and ye shall know that I am the LORD."

⁶ With that, said the LORD God on this manner: Woe be unto the bloody city of the pot, where upon the rustiness hangeth, and is not yet scoured away. Take out the pieces that are in it, one after another: there need no lots be cast therefore,

⁹ Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: O woe be unto that bloodthirsty city, for whom I will prepare a heap of wood.

² but swearing, lying, manslaughter, theft, and adultery have gotten the overhand; and one bloodguiltiness followeth another.

¹ Woe to that bloodthirsty city, which is all full of lies and robbery, and will not leave off from ravishing.

³⁵ that upon you may come all the righteous blood that was shed upon the earth: from the blood of righteous Abel, unto the blood of Zachariah the son of Barachiah, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar:

²⁵ Then answered all the people, and said, "His blood be on us, and on our children."

⁵⁰ That the blood of all prophets, which was shed from the beginning of the world, may be required of this generation,

⁵² Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them, which showed before of the coming of that Just, whom ye have betrayed and murdered.

²⁰ Them that sin, rebuke openly that others may fear.
