Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised. ⁶ " 'And I passed by you, and I saw you kicking about in your blood, and I said to you in your blood, "Live! ⁷ "'I made you numerous like plants of the field. You grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments. Your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare."' ⁸ And I passed by you, and I looked on you, and, behold, your time was the time of love. And I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. And I swore to you and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD. And you became Mine. ⁹ And I bathed you in water, and washed your blood from you, and anointed you with oil. ¹⁰ I clothed you also with embroidered work, and put sealskin sandals on you.

Was your prostitution not enough? ²¹ "'You slaughtered my children and presented them as burnt offerings to idols. ²² In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood. ²³ Woe, woe to you, says the Sovereign LORD! For it happened, after all your evil, ²⁴ you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: ²⁵ At the head of every street you built your high place and you disgraced your beauty and you spread your feet for every passerby, and you increased your whoring. ²⁶ And you prostituted with the Egyptians, your neighbors who were sexually aroused, and you increased your fornication to provoke me. ²⁷ And look! I stretched out my hand against you, and I reduced your portion, and I gave you into the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed because of your lewd conduct. ²⁸ And you prostituted with the Assyrians on account of your insatiable lust, and you prostituted with them, and still you were not satisfied. ²⁹ And you increased your fornication to the land of traders, to Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied. ³⁰ How weak is your heart, says the Sovereign LORD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute, ³¹ In that you build your shrine at the head of every street, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as a harlot, in that you scorned payment; ³² O adulterous wife, that taketh strangers instead of her husband. ³³ They give a gift to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them to come to you from all around, for your fornication. 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 Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD. ³⁶ So says the Sovereign LORD: Because your lewdness was poured out, and your nakedness was bared in your fornications with your lovers and with the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your sons whom you gave to them; ³⁷ behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have been pleased, even all whom you loved, with all whom you have hated; I will even gather them against you from all around, and will uncover your nakedness to them, and they will see all your nakedness. ³⁸ "I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged. I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy. ³⁹ I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare. ⁴⁰ "They will incite a crowd against you and they will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. ⁴¹ "They will burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. Then I will stop you from playing the harlot. You will also no longer pay your lovers. ⁴² And I will satisfy my rage on you, and my jealousy will turn away from you, and I will be calm, and I will not be angry any longer. ⁴³ '"You have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged me by all these things. I will therefore bring your conduct down on your own head,' declares the Sovereign LORD. 'That way you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations. ⁴⁴ '"Everyone who quotes proverbs will quote this proverb concerning you: "Like mother, like daughter." ⁴⁵ You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ '"Now your older sister is Samaria, who lives north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister, who lives south of you, is Sodom with 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 I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, your sister Sodom, she and her daughters, have not done as you and your daughters have done. ⁴⁹ ‘»This was the guilt of your sister Sodom. She and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. ⁵⁰ '"They were arrogant and did disgusting things in front of me. So I did away with them when I saw this. ⁵¹ Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done. ⁵² Also, you bear your disgrace, by which you furnished justification to your sisters through your sins by which you acted more abominably than they; they were more righteous than you, and also, you be ashamed and bear your disgrace through your making your sister righteous. ⁵³ ‘»I will restore the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters, and Samaria and her daughters. I will also restore your fortune along with theirs. ⁵⁴ that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonored for all that you have done in provoking Me to anger. ⁵⁵ ‘»When Sodom and her daughters and Samaria and her daughters return to what they once were, you and your daughters will return to what you once were. ⁵⁶ For your mouth reports not your sister Sedom in the day of your pomp ⁵⁷ before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all her neighbors, the daughters of the Philistines who hated you from all around. ⁵⁸ You are bearing your wickedness and your abominations, declares the LORD. ⁵⁹ For so says the Sovereign LORD: I will even deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant. ⁶⁰ But I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant. ⁶¹ Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant. ⁶² And I will establish my covenant with you and you will know that I am the LORD, ⁶³ '"I will forgive all the wrongs you have done, but you will remember them and be too ashamed to open your mouth.' The Sovereign LORD has spoken."

¹ The Word of the LORD came again to me, ² Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother, ³ "They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. There their breasts were pressed and there their virgin bosom was handled. ⁴ Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah. ⁵ "Oholah played the prostitute while she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, her neighbors. ⁶ clothed with purple, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding horses. ⁷ She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whoever she lusted after. ⁸ "She did not forsake her acts of fornication from the time in Egypt. In her youth men had lain with her. They handled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her. ⁹ Wherefore, I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, even the Assyrians, whom she so loved. ¹⁰ These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters; and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her. ¹¹ Though her sister Ooliba saw this, yet she became abandoned and more inordinate in her fornication than her sister. ¹² She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and prefects, warriors clothed in perfection, expert horsemen, all of them handsome young men. ¹³ "I saw that she had defiled herself and that they both went the same way. ¹⁴ “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red, ¹⁵ girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth. ¹⁶ As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. ¹⁷ And so the Babylonians came to her for the bed of lovemaking; and they defiled her with their fornication, and she was defiled by them, and she turned from them. ¹⁸ And she revealed her whorings, and she revealed her nakedness, and so I turned from her just as I turned from her sister. ¹⁹ Yet she increased her whorings, recalling the days of her childhood when she was prostituted in the land of Egypt. ²⁰ She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. ²¹ "Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth. ²² Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Sovereign LORD: Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side: ²³ the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. ²⁴ '"They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs. ²⁵ I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire. ²⁶ They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your fair jewels. ²⁷ Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you and your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more. ²⁸ For thus says the Sovereign LORD: 'Look! I am giving you into the hand of those you hated, into the hand of those from whom you turned away. ²⁹ They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution. ³⁰ has brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and defiled yourself with their devices. ³¹ You have gone in the way of your sister; and I will give her cup into your hand. ³² So says the Sovereign LORD: You shall drink of your sister's cup deep and large; you shall be laughed to scorn and mocked; for it holds much. ³³ '"You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria. ³⁴ '"You will drink it and drain it. Then you will gnaw its fragments and tear your breasts. "I have spoken," declares the Sovereign LORD.' ³⁵ Therefore thus says the Sovereign LORD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitutions. ³⁶ the LORD said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. ³⁷ That they have committed adultery and there is blood on their hands? They have committed adultery with their idols; and caused their children whom they bore to me to pass through fire for them. ³⁸ Moreover this have they done unto me: in the same day have they defiled my sanctuary and profaned my sabbaths. ³⁹ "For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered my sanctuary on the same day to profane it. Then they did within my house. ⁴⁰ And they have even sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent. And lo, they came. You washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments, ⁴¹ "You sat on a splendid couch with a table arranged before it on which you had set my incense and my oil. ⁴² "The sound of a carefree multitude was with her. Drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort. And they put bracelets on the hands of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads. ⁴³ Then I said about the one worn in adulteries, Will they now fornicate with her, and she with them ? ⁴⁴ And they went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. ⁴⁵ "But they, righteous men, will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands. ⁴⁶ "The Sovereign LORD says: 'Bring up a company against them and give them over to terror and plunder. 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 And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done. ⁴⁹ They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD.'”

⁸ If we say we have not sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. ⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰ If we say we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar, and His word is not in us.

¹⁷ You say, ‘I am rich; I have grown wealthy and need nothing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. ¹⁸ I advise you to buy of me gold that has been refined in the fire, so that you may become rich, and white clothes to put on, to hide your shameful nakedness, and salve to put on your eyes, to make you see.
