Ezekiel 16
16
1Again the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came unto me, saying,
2Son of man, cause Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to know her abominations,
3And say, Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) unto Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; You1s birth and youi nativity [is] of the land of Kena’an [Merchant]; youi father [was] an Emori [Rebellious Highlanders], and youi mother an Hitti [Terrorists].
4And [as for] youri nativity, in the day youi were born youri navel was not cut, neither were youi washed in water to supple [youi]; youi were not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
5None eye pitied youi, to do any of these unto youi, to have compassion upon youi; but youi were cast out in the open field, to the loathing of youi person, in the day that youi were born.
6And when I passed by youi, and saw youi polluted in youri own blood, I said unto youi [when youi were] in youri blood, Live; yes, I said unto youi [when youi were] in youri blood, Live.
7I have caused youi to multiply as the bud of the field, and youi have increased and waxen great, and youi are come to excellent ornaments: [youri] breasts are fashioned, and youri hair is grown, whereas youi [were] naked and bare.
8Now when I passed by youi, and looked upon youi, behold, youri time [was] the time of love; and I spread my skirt over youi, and covered youri nakedness: yes, I swore unto youi, and entered into a covenant with youi, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), and youi became mine.
9Then washed I youi with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away youri blood from youi, and I anointed youi with oil.
10I clothed youi also with adorned with needlework work, and shod youi with badgers’ skin, and I girded youi about with fine linen, and I covered youi with silk.
11I decked youi also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon youri hands, and a chain on youri neck.
12And I put a jewel on youri forehead, and earrings in youri ears, and a beautiful crown upon youri head.
13Thus were youi decked with gold and silver; and youri clothing [was of] fine linen, and silk, and adorned with needlework work; youi did eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and youi were exceeding beautiful, and youi did prosper into a kingdom.
14And youri renown (great reputation; being well-known) went forth among the heathen for youri beauty: for it [was] perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon youi, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
15But youi did trust in youri own beauty, and played the prostitute because of youri renown (great reputation; being well-known), and poured out youri fornications on everyone that passed by; his it was.
16And of youri garments youi did take, and decked youi high places with diverse colours, and played the prostitute thereupon: [the like things] shall not come, neither shall it be [so].
17Youi have also taken youri fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given youi, and made to yourself images of men, and did commit whoredom with them,
18And took youri embroidered garments, and covered them: and youi have set my oil and my incense before them.
19My meat also which I gave youi, fine flour, and oil, and honey, [which] I fed youi, youi have even set it before them for a soothing aroma: and [thus] it was, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
20Moreover youi have taken youri sons and youri daughters, whom youi have borne unto me, and these have youi sacrificed unto them to be devoured. [Is this] of youri cult prostitution a small matter,
21That youi have slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through [the fire] for them?
22And in all youri abominations and youri cult prostitution youi have not remembered the days of youri youth, when youi were naked and bare, [and] were polluted in youri blood.
23And it came to pass after all youri wickedness, (woe, woe unto youi! says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER);)
24 [That] youi have also built unto youi an eminent place, and have made youi an high place in every street.
25Youi have built youri high place at every head of the way, and have made youri beauty to be abhorred, and have opened youri legs to everyone that passed by, and multiplied youri cult prostitution.
26Youi have also committed fornication with the Mitzri youri neighbours, great of flesh; and have increased youri cult prostitution, to provoke me to anger.
27Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over youi, and have diminished youri ordinary [food], and delivered youi unto the will of them that hate youi, the daughters of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], which are ashamed of youri lewd way.
28Youi have played the whore also with the children of Ashur, because youi were insatiable; yes, youi have played the prostitute with them, and yet could not be satisfied.
29Youi have moreover multiplied youri fornication in the land of Kena’an [Merchant] unto Kasdim [clod-breakers]; and yet youi were not satisfied with this!
30How weak is youri heart, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), seeing youi do all these [things], the work of an shameless whorish woman;
31In that youi build youri eminent place in the head of every way, and makes youri high place in every street; and have not been as an prostitute, in that youi scorn getting paid;
32 [But as] a wife that commits adultery, [which] takes strangers instead of her husband!
33They give gifts to all whores: but youi give youri gifts to all youri lovers, and hire them, that they may come unto youi on every side for youri whoredom.
34And the contrary is in youi from [other] women in youri cult prostitution, whereas none follows youi to commit cult prostitution: and in that youi give a reward, and no reward is given unto youi, therefore youi are contrary.
35For this reason, O prostitute, hear the word of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):
36Thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); Because youi filthiness was poured out, and youri nakedness discovered through youri cult prostitution with youri lovers, and with all the idols of youri abominations, and by the blood of youri children, which youi did give unto them;
37Behold, therefore I will gather all youri lovers, with whom youi have taken pleasure, and all [them] that youi have loved, with all [them] that youi have hated; I will even gather them roundabout against youi, and will expose youri nakedness unto them, that they may see all youri nakedness.
38And I will judge youi, as women that breaks wedlock and sheds blood are judged; and I will give youi blood in fury and jealousy.
39And I will also give youi into their hand, and they shall throw down youri eminent place, and shall break down youri high places: they shall strip youi also of youri clothes, and shall take youri fair jewels, and leave youri naked and bare.
40They shall also bring up a company against youi, and they shall stone youi with stones, and thrust youi through with their swords.
41And they shall burn youri houses with fire, and execute judgments upon youi in the sight of many women: and I will cause youi to cease from playing the prostitute, and youi also shall give no pay (to your lovers) any more.
42So will I make my fury toward youi to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from youi, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
43Because youi have not remembered the days of youri youth, but have fretted me in all these [things]; behold, therefore I also will recompense youri way upon [youi] head, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER): and youi shall not commit this lewdness above all youri abominations.
44Behold, everyone that uses proverbs shall use [this] proverb against youi, saying, As [is] the mother, [so is] her daughter.
45Youi [are] youri mother’s daughter, that loathes her husband and her children; and youi [are] the sister of youri sisters, which loathed their husbands and their children: your mother [was] an Hitti [Terrorists], and your father an Emori [Rebellious Highlanders].
46And youri elder sister [is] Shomron [watch mountain], she and her daughters that dwell at youri left hand: and youri younger sister, that dwells at youri right hand, [is] S’dom [Burning] and her daughters.
47Yet have youi not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as [if that were] a very little [thing], youi were corrupted more than they in all youri ways!
48 [As] I live, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER), S’dom [Burning] youri sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as youi have done, youi and youri daughters.
49Behold, this was the iniquity of youri sister S’dom [Burning], pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50And they were arrogant (proud; lifted up), and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
51Neither has Shomron [watch mountain] committed half of youri sins; but youi have multiplied youri abominations more than they, and have justified youri sisters in all youri abominations which youi have done.
52Youi also, which have judged youri sisters, bear youri own shame for youri sins that youi have committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than youi: yes, be youi confounded also, and bear youri shame, in that youi have justified youri sisters.
53When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of S’dom [Burning] and her daughters, and the captivity of Shomron [watch mountain] and her daughters, then [will I bring again] the captivity of youri captives in the midst of them:
54That youi may bear youri own shame, and may be confounded in all that youi have done, in that youi are a comfort unto them.
55When youri sisters, S’dom [Burning] and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Shomron [watch mountain] and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then youi and youri daughters shall return to your former estate.
56For youri sister S’dom [Burning] was not mentioned by youri mouth in the day of youri pride,
57Before youri wickedness was discovered, as at the time of [youri] reproach (disgrace; shame) of the daughters of Aram (Syria) [exalted], and all [that are] round about her, the daughters of the P’lishtim [Immigrants], which despise youi round about.
58Youi have borne youri lewdness and youri abominations, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
59For thus says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER); I will even deal with youi as youi have done, which have despised the oath in breaking the Covenant.
60Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with youi in the days of youri youth, and I will establish unto youi an everlasting covenant.
61Then youi shall remember youri ways, and be ashamed, when youi shall receive youri sisters, youri elder and youri younger: and I will give them unto youi for daughters, but not by youri covenant.
62And I will establish my covenant with youi; and youi shall know that I [am] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate):
63That youi may remember, and be confounded, and never open youri mouth anymore because of youri shame, when I am pacified toward youi for all that youi have done, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER).
