made the heart of the righteous
sad, whom I have not
made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:

charred it!

bud of the field, and thou hast increased and
waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou

matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
Thus
wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy
raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and
broidered work; thou
didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou
wast exceeding beautiful, and thou
didst prosper into a kingdom.

didst take, and deckedst thy high places with
divers colours, and playedst the
harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.

harlot, in that thou scornest
hire;

made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a
prostitute, because you
scorned payment.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

made your sisters appear righteous.

abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou:
yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought
justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more
vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have
made your sisters appear righteous.

exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have
made the dry tree to
flourish: I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have
made the dry tree to
flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Then all the trees of the field will know that I am the LORD. I bring the tall tree down and make the low tree tall. I dry up the green tree and make the
withered tree
flourish. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I have done it.’”

swore an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob and
made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. With an
uplifted hand I said to them, ‘I am the LORD your God.’
But I wrought for my name’s sake, that it should not be
polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I
made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be
profaned in the eyes of the nations among whom they were living, in whose sight I had revealed Myself to Israel by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

provocation of their offering: there also they
made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
When I brought them into the land that I
swore to give them and they saw any high hill or
leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, presented offerings that
provoked Me, sent up their
fragrant incense, and poured out their drink offerings.
I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may
faint, and their ruins be multiplied:

made bright, it is
wrapped up for the slaughter.
So that their hearts may
melt and many may
stumble, I have appointed at all their gates a sword for slaughter.
Yes, it is ready to
flash like
lightning; it is drawn for slaughter.
For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use
divination: he
made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an
omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.

made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to
remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to
remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.

defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast
made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I
made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a
mocking to all countries.

defiled by the idols you have
made. You have brought your days to a close and have come to the end of your years. Therefore I have
made you a reproach to the nations and a
mockery to all the lands.
Behold, therefore I have
smitten mine hand at thy
dishonest gain which thou hast
made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Now look, I strike My hands together against your unjust gain and against the blood you have shed in your midst.

roaring lion
tearing its prey. They
devour the people, seize the treasures and precious things, and multiply the widows within her.

shake at the noise of the
horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the
chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is

awning.

Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou
wast replenished, and
made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Your heart grew proud of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your
splendor; so I cast you to the earth; I
made you a
spectacle before kings.
Thou hast
defiled thy
sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy
traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall
devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
By the multitude of your
iniquities and the
dishonesty of your trading you have
profaned your
sanctuaries. So I
made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great
dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have
made it for myself.
Speak to him and tell him that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I am against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great
monster who lies among his rivers, who says, ‘The Nile is mine; I
made it myself.’
When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou
didst break, and
rend all their shoulder: and when they
leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and
madest all their loins to be at a stand.
When Israel took hold of you with their hands, you
splintered,
tearing all their shoulders; when they
leaned on you, you broke, and their backs were
wrenched.
And the land of Egypt shall be
desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have
made it.
The land of Egypt will become a
desolate wasteland. Then they will know that I am the LORD. Because you said, ‘The Nile is mine; I
made it,’
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was
made bald, and every shoulder was
peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
“Son of man,
Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to labor
strenuously against Tyre. Every head was
made bald and every shoulder
made raw. But he and his army received no wages from Tyre for the labor they expended on it.
The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
The waters made it grow; the deep springs made it tall, directing their streams all around its base and sending their channels to all the trees of the field.
All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
All the birds of the air nested in its branches, and all the beasts of the field gave birth beneath its boughs; all the great nations lived in its shade.
I have
made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of
Eden, that were in the garden of God,
envied him.
I
made it beautiful with its many branches, the
envy of all the trees of
Eden, which were in the garden of God.’
