Ezekiel 16 📜 📕 ↷
24 thou didst also build thee a stews, & madest thee a brothel house in all streets.📜💬📚
25 At every head of the way hast thou built a sign of thy prostitution: & hast made thy beauty abominable: & hast divided thy feet to every one that passeth by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.📜💬📚
26 And thou hast fornicated with the children of AEgypt thy neighbours of great flesh, & hast multiplied thy fornication to provoke me.📜💬📚
27 Behold I will stretch out my hand upon thee, & will take away thy justification: & I will give thee into the souls of the daughters of Palestine that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.📜💬📚
28 And thou hast committed fornication with the sons of the Assyrians, because neither as yet wast thou filled: & after thou didst fornicate, neither so wast thou satiated.📜💬📚
29 And thou didst multiply thy fornication in the Land of Chanaan with the Chaldees: & neither so wast thou satiated.📜💬📚
30 Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith our Lord God: whereas thou doest all these the works of a woman that is a whore, & malapert?📜💬📚
31 Because thou hast built thy brothel house in the head of every way, & thy excels thou hast made in every street, neither becamest thou as an harlot that by disdain augmenteth the price,📜💬📚
32 but as a woman adulteress, that over her husband bringeth in strangers.📜💬📚
33 To all harlots are rewards given: but thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, & thou didst give them gifts to come unto thee on every side, to fornicate with thee.📜💬📚
34 And in thee it was done contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, it hath been done contrary in thee.📜💬📚
Judgment on Jerusalem
35 Therefore hear, o harlot, the word of our Lord.📜💬📚
36 Thus saith our Lord God: Because thy brass is poured out, & thine ignominy is revealed in thy fornications upon thy lovers, and upon the idols of thine abominations in the blood of thy children, whom thou gavest them:📜💬📚
37 Behold I will gather together all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, & all whom thou hast loved, with all, whom thou didst hate: and I will gather them together upon thee on every side, and will discover thine ignominy before them, and they shall see all thy turpitude.📜💬📚
38 And I will judge thee by the judgements of adulteresses, and them that shed blood: and I will give thee into blood of fury and zeal.📜💬📚
39 And I will give thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel-house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall turn thee naked out of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and shall leave thee naked, and full of ignominy.📜💬📚
40 And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall murder thee with their swords.📜💬📚
41 And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall do judgements in thee in the eyes of very many women: and thou shalt cease to fornicate, and shalt give rewards no more.📜💬📚
42 And mine indignation shall rest in thee: and my zeal shall be taken away from thee, and I will cease, and be angry no more.📜💬📚
43 For that thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, and hast provoked me in all these: wherefore I also have given thy ways on thy head, saith our Lord God, & I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thine abominations.📜💬📚
