1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
1. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 again unto H413 me, saying H559 ,
|
|
2. Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
|
2. Son H1121 of man H120 , there were H1961 two H8147 women H802 , the daughters H1323 of one H259 mother H517 :
|
|
3. and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth: there their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.
|
3. And they committed whoredoms H2181 in Egypt H4714 ; they committed whoredoms H2181 in their youth H5271 : there H8033 were their breasts H7699 pressed H4600 , and there H8033 they bruised H6213 the teats H1717 of their virginity H1331 .
|
|
4. And their names were Oola the elder, and Ooliba her sister: and they were Or, married to me mine, and bore sons and daughters: and as for their names, Samaria was Oola, and Jerusalem was Ooliba.
|
4. And the names H8034 of them were Aholah H170 the elder H1419 , and Aholibah H172 her sister H269 : and they were H1961 mine , and they bore H3205 sons H1121 and daughters H1323 . Thus were their names H8034 ; Samaria H8111 is Aholah H170 , and Jerusalem H3389 Aholibah H172 .
|
|
5. And Oola went a-whoring from me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,
|
5. And Aholah H170 played the harlot H2181 when she was H8478 mine ; and she doted H5689 on H5921 her lovers H157 , on H413 the Assyrians H804 her neighbors H7138 ,
|
|
6. clothed with purple, princes and captains; they were young men and choice, all horseman riding on horses.
|
6. Which were clothed H3847 with blue H8504 , captains H6346 and rulers H5461 , all H3605 of them desirable H2531 young men H970 , horsemen H6571 riding upon H7392 horses H5483 .
|
|
7. And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whomsoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all their devices.
|
7. Thus she committed H5414 her whoredoms H8457 with H5921 them , with all H3605 them that were the chosen H4005 men H1121 of Assyria H804 , and with all H3605 on whom H834 she doted H5689 : with all H3605 their idols H1544 she defiled herself H2930 .
|
|
8. And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.
|
8. Neither H3808 left H5800 she her whoredoms H8457 brought from Egypt H4480 H4714 : for H3588 in her youth H5271 they lay H7901 with H854 her , and they H1992 bruised H6213 the breasts H1717 of her virginity H1331 , and poured H8210 their whoredom H8457 upon H5921 her.
|
|
9. Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
|
9. Wherefore H3651 I have delivered H5414 her into the hand H3027 of her lovers H157 , into the hand H3027 of the Assyrians H1121 H804 , upon H5921 whom H834 she doted H5689 .
|
|
10. They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became a byword among women: and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
|
10. These H1992 discovered H1540 her nakedness H6172 : they took H3947 her sons H1121 and her daughters H1323 , and slew H2026 her with the sword H2719 : and she became H1961 famous H8034 among women H802 ; for they had executed H6213 judgment H8196 upon her.
|
|
11. And her sister Ooliba saw it, and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.
|
11. And when her sister H269 Aholibah H172 saw H7200 this , she was more corrupt H7843 in her inordinate love H5691 than H4480 she , and in her whoredoms H8457 more than her sister H269 in her whoredoms H4480 H2183 .
|
|
12. She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbours, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; they were all choice young men.
|
12. She doted H5689 upon H413 the Assyrians H1121 H804 her neighbors H7138 , captains H6346 and rulers H5461 clothed H3847 most gorgeously H4358 , horsemen H6571 riding upon H7392 horses H5483 , all H3605 of them desirable H2531 young men H970 .
|
|
13. And I saw that they were defiled, that the two had one way.
|
13. Then I saw H7200 that H3588 she was defiled H2930 , that they took both H8147 one H259 way H1870 ,
|
|
14. And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,
|
14. And that she increased H3254 H413 her whoredoms H8457 : for when she saw H7200 men H376 portrayed H2707 upon H5921 the wall H7023 , the images H6754 of the Chaldeans H3778 portrayed H2710 with vermilion H8350 ,
|
|
15. having variegated girdles on their loins, having also richly dyed attire upon their heads; all had a See Heb. princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their Alex. autwn native land.
|
15. Girded H2289 with girdles H232 upon their loins H4975 , exceeding H5628 in dyed attire H2871 upon their heads H7218 , all H3605 of them princes H7991 to look to H4758 , after the manner H1823 of the Babylonians H1121 H894 of Chaldea H3778 , the land H776 of their nativity H4138 :
|
|
16. And she doted upon them Gr. in the sight of her eyes as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.
|
16. And as soon as she saw H4758 them with her eyes H5869 , she doted H5689 upon H5921 them , and sent H7971 messengers H4397 unto H413 them into Chaldea H3778 .
|
|
17. And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
|
17. And the Babylonians H1121 H894 came H935 to H413 her into the bed H4904 of love H1730 , and they defiled H2930 her with their whoredom H8457 , and she was polluted H2930 with them , and her mind H5315 was alienated H3363 from H4480 them.
|
|
18. And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame: and my soul was alienated from her, even as my soul was alienated from her sister.
|
18. So she discovered H1540 her whoredoms H8457 , and discovered H1540 H853 her nakedness H6172 : then my mind H5315 was alienated H3363 from H4480 H5921 her , like as H834 my mind H5315 was alienated H5361 from H4480 H5921 her sister H269 .
|
|
19. And thou didst multiply thy fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of thy youth, wherein thou didst commit whoredom in Egypt,
|
19. Yet she multiplied H7235 H853 her whoredoms H8457 , in calling to remembrance H2142 H853 the days H3117 of her youth H5271 , wherein H834 she had played the harlot H2181 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
20. and thou didst dote upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of the asses, and their members as the members of horses.
|
20. For she doted H5689 upon H5921 their paramours H6370 , whose H834 flesh H1320 is as the flesh H1320 of asses H2543 , and whose issue H2231 is like the issue H2231 of horses H5483 .
|
|
21. And thou didst look upon the iniquity of thy youth, the things which thou wroughtest in Egypt in thy lodgings, where were the breasts of thy youth.
|
21. Thus thou calledst to remembrance H6485 H853 the lewdness H2154 of thy youth H5271 , in bruising H6213 thy teats H1717 by the Egyptians H4480 H4714 for H4616 the paps H7699 of thy youth H5271 .
|
|
22. Therefore, Ooliba, thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will stir up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon thee round about,
|
22. Therefore H3651 , O Aholibah H172 , thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will raise up H5782 H853 thy lovers H157 against H5921 thee , from whom H4480 H853 H834 thy mind H5315 is alienated H5361 , and I will bring H935 them against H5921 thee on every side H4480 H5439 ;
|
|
23. the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Phacuc, and Sue, and Hychue, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all See verse 15 princes and renowned, riding on horses.
|
23. The Babylonians H1121 H894 , and all H3605 the Chaldeans H3778 , Pekod H6489 , and Shoa H7772 , and Koa H6970 , and all H3605 the Assyrians H1121 H804 with H854 them: all H3605 of them desirable H2531 young men H970 , captains H6346 and rulers H5461 , great lords H7991 and renowned H7121 , all H3605 of them riding upon H7392 horses H5483 .
|
|
24. And they all shall come upon thee from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and the enemy shall set a watch against thee round about: and I will set judgement before them, and they shall take vengeance on thee with their judgements.
|
24. And they shall come H935 against H5921 thee with chariots H2021 , wagons H7393 , and wheels H1534 , and with an assembly H6951 of people H5971 , which shall set H7760 against H5921 thee buckler H6793 and shield H4043 and helmet H6959 round about H5439 : and I will set H5414 judgment H4941 before H6440 them , and they shall judge H8199 thee according to their judgments H4941 .
|
|
25. And I will bring upon thee my jealousy, and they shall deal with thee in great wrath: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and shall cast down thy remnant with the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy remnant fire shall devour.
|
25. And I will set H5414 my jealousy H7068 against thee , and they shall deal H6213 furiously H2534 with H854 thee : they shall take away H5493 thy nose H639 and thine ears H241 ; and thy remnant H319 shall fall H5307 by the sword H2719 : they H1992 shall take H3947 thy sons H1121 and thy daughters H1323 ; and thy residue H319 shall be devoured H398 by the fire H784 .
|
|
26. And they shall strip thee of thy raiment, and take away Gr. vessels of thy glory, or, boasting thine ornaments.
|
26. They shall also strip H6584 thee out of H854 thy clothes H899 , and take away H3947 thy fair H8597 jewels H3627 .
|
|
27. So I will turn back thine ungodliness from thee, and thy fornication from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thine eyes upon them, and shalt no more remember Egypt.
|
27. Thus will I make thy lewdness H2154 to cease H7673 from H4480 thee , and thy whoredom H2184 brought from the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 : so that thou shalt not H3808 lift up H5375 thine eyes H5869 unto H413 them, nor H3808 remember H2142 Egypt H4714 any more H5750 .
|
|
28. Wherefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of those whom thou hatest, from whom thy soul is alienated.
|
28. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Behold H2009 , I will deliver H5414 thee into the hand H3027 of them whom H834 thou hatest H8130 , into the hand H3027 of them from whom H834 thy mind H5315 is alienated H5361 H4480 :
|
|
29. And they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take all the fruits of thy labours and thy toils, and thou shalt be naked and bare: and the shame of thy fornication shall be exposed: and thy ungodliness and thy fornication
|
29. And they shall deal H6213 with H854 thee hatefully H8135 , and shall take away H3947 all H3605 thy labor H3018 , and shall leave H5800 thee naked H5903 and bare H6181 : and the nakedness H6172 of thy whoredoms H2183 shall be discovered H1540 , both thy lewdness H2154 and thy whoredoms H8457 .
|
|
30. brought this upon thee, in that thou wentest a-whoring after the nations, and didst defile thyself with their devices.
|
30. I will do H6213 these H428 things unto thee , because thou hast gone a whoring H2181 after H310 the heathen H1471 , and because H5921 H834 thou art polluted H2930 with their idols H1544 .
|
|
31. Thou didst walk in the way of thy sister; and I will put her cup into thine hands.
|
31. Thou hast walked H1980 in the way H1870 of thy sister H269 ; therefore will I give H5414 her cup H3563 into thine hand H3027 .
|
|
32. Thus saith the Lord; Drink thy sister’s cup, deep and large, Alex+’it shall be for derision, or, scorn.’ and full, to cause complete drunkenness.
|
32. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Thou shalt drink H8354 of thy sister H269 's cup H3563 deep H6013 and large H7342 : thou shalt be H1961 laughed to scorn H6712 and had in derision H3933 ; it containeth H3557 much H4767 .
|
|
33. And thou shalt be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of thy sister Samaria,
|
33. Thou shalt be filled H4390 with drunkenness H7943 and sorrow H3015 , with the cup H3563 of astonishment H8047 and desolation H8077 , with the cup H3563 of thy sister H269 Samaria H8111 .
|
|
34. drink thou it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.
|
34. Thou shalt even drink H8354 it and suck it out H4680 , and thou shalt break H1633 the shards H2789 thereof , and pluck off H5423 thine own breasts H7699 : for H3588 I H589 have spoken H1696 it , saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
|
|
35. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Because thou has forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore receive thou the reward of thine ungodliness and thy fornication.
|
35. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; Because H3282 thou hast forgotten H7911 me , and cast H7993 me behind H310 thy back H1458 , therefore bear H5375 thou H859 also H1571 thy lewdness H2154 and thy whoredoms H8457 .
|
|
36. And the Lord said to me, Son of man wilt thou not judge Oola and Ooliba? and declare to them their iniquities?
|
36. The LORD H3068 said H559 moreover unto H413 me; Son H1121 of man H120 , wilt thou judge H8199 H853 Aholah H170 and Aholibah H172 ? yea, declare H5046 unto them H853 their abominations H8441 ;
|
|
37. For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their i. e. idols devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to me.
|
37. That H3588 they have committed adultery H5003 , and blood H1818 is in their hands H3027 , and with H854 their idols H1544 have they committed adultery H5003 , and have also H1571 caused H853 their sons H1121 , whom H834 they bore H3205 unto me , to pass for them through H5674 the fire , to devour H402 them .
|
|
38. So long too as they did these things to me, they defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my sabbaths.
|
38. Moreover H5750 this H2063 they have done H6213 unto me : they have defiled H2930 H853 my sanctuary H4720 in the same H1931 day H3117 , and have profaned H2490 my sabbaths H7676 .
|
|
39. And when they Lit. slew sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into my sanctuary to profane it: and whereas they did thus in the midst of my house;
|
39. For when they had slain H7819 H853 their children H1121 to their idols H1544 , then they came H935 the same H1931 day H3117 into H413 my sanctuary H4720 to profane H2490 it; and, lo H2009 , thus H3541 have they done H6213 in the midst H8432 of mine house H1004 .
|
|
40. and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thine eyes and adorn thyself with ornaments,
|
40. And furthermore H637 , that H3588 ye have sent H7971 for men H376 to come H935 from far H4480 H4801 , unto H413 whom H834 a messenger H4397 was sent H7971 ; and, lo H2009 , they came H935 : for whom H834 thou didst wash H7364 thyself, paintedst H3583 thy eyes H5869 , and deckedst H5710 thyself with ornaments H5716 ,
|
|
41. and satest on a prepared bed, and before it there was a table set out, and as for mine incense and mine oil, they rejoiced in them,
|
41. And satest H3427 upon H5921 a stately H3520 bed H4296 , and a table H7979 prepared H6186 before H6440 it, whereupon H5921 thou hast set H7760 mine incense H7004 and mine oil H8081 .
|
|
42. and they raised a sound of music, and that with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, Alex. +’inflamed with wine.’ See A. V. margin and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of Gr. boasting glory on their heads;
|
42. And a voice H6963 of a multitude H1995 being at ease H7961 was with her : and with H413 the men H376 of the common sort H4480 H7230 H120 were brought H935 Sabeans H5436 from the wilderness H4480 H4057 , which put H5414 bracelets H6781 upon H5921 their hands H3027 , and beautiful H8597 crowns H5850 upon H413 their heads H7218 .
|
|
43. Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? and has she also gone a-whoring after the manner of a harlot?
|
43. Then said H559 I unto her that was old H1087 in adulteries H5004 , Will they now H6258 commit H2181 whoredoms H8457 with her , and she H1931 with them ?
|
|
44. And they went in to her, as men go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oola and to Ooliba to work iniquity.
|
44. Yet they went in H935 unto H413 her , as they go in H935 unto H413 a woman H802 that playeth the harlot H2181 : so H3651 went they in H935 unto H413 Aholah H170 and unto H413 Aholibah H172 , the lewd H2154 women H802 .
|
|
45. And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgement of an adulteress and the judgement of blood: for they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
|
45. And the righteous H6662 men H376 , they H1992 shall judge H8199 them after the manner H4941 of adulteresses H5003 , and after the manner of women H4941 that shed H8210 blood H1818 ; because H3588 they H2007 are adulteresses H5003 , and blood H1818 is in their hands H3027 .
|
|
46. Thus saith the Lord God, Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.
|
46. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 ; I will bring up H5927 a company H6951 upon H5921 them , and will give H5414 them to be removed H2189 and spoiled H957 .
|
|
47. And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords: they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.
|
47. And the company H6951 shall stone H7275 H5921 them with stones H68 , and dispatch H1254 them with their swords H2719 ; they shall slay H2026 their sons H1121 and their daughters H1323 , and burn up H8313 their houses H1004 with fire H784 .
|
|
48. And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.
|
48. Thus will I cause lewdness H2154 to cease H7673 out of H4480 the land H776 , that all H3605 women H802 may be taught H3256 not H3808 to do H6213 after your lewdness H2154 .
|
|
49. And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and ye shall bear the guilt of your devices: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
|
49. And they shall recompense H5414 your lewdness H2154 upon H5921 you , and ye shall bear H5375 the sins H2399 of your idols H1544 : and ye shall know H3045 that H3588 I H589 am the Lord H136 GOD H3069 .
