All thine enemies have opened their mouth against
thee: they hiss and
gnash the teeth: they say, We have
swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
All your enemies open their mouths against you. They hiss and
gnash their teeth, saying, “We have
swallowed her up. This is the day for which we have waited. We have lived to see it!”
The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not
pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to
rejoice over
thee, he hath set up the horn of thine
adversaries.
The LORD has done what He
planned; He has accomplished His decree, which He ordained in days of old; He has overthrown you without
pity. He has let the enemy
gloat over you and
exalted the horn of your foes.
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
You drew near when I called on You; You said, “Do not be afraid.”

glad, O daughter of
Edom, that dwellest in the land of
Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto
thee: thou shalt be
drunken, and shalt make
thyself naked.

Zion; he will no more carry
thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of
Edom; he will discover thy sins.
O Daughter of
Zion, your punishment is complete; He will not
prolong your exile. But He will
punish your iniquity, O Daughter of
Edom; He will
expose your sins.
Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
Restore us to
Yourself, O LORD, so we may return; renew our days as of old,

And he said unto me, Son of man, I send
thee to the children of Israel, to a
rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have
transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “I am sending you to the Israelites, to a
rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
For they are
impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send
thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
They are
obstinate and
stubborn children. I am sending you to them, and you are to say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with
thee, and thou
dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a
rebellious house.
But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns
surround you, and you dwell among scorpions. Do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their presence, though they are a
rebellious house.
But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto
thee; Be not thou
rebellious like that
rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give
thee.
And you, son of man,
listen to what I tell you. Do not be
rebellious like that
rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I give you.”
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy
belly to eat, and fill thy
bowels with this roll that I give
thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “eat and fill your stomach with this
scroll I am giving you.” So I
ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak My words to them.
Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent
thee to them, they would have
hearkened unto
thee.
not to the many peoples of unfamiliar speech and difficult language whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have
listened to you.
But the house of Israel will be unwilling to
listen to you, since they are unwilling to
listen to Me. For the whole house of Israel is hard-headed and hard-hearted.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
“Son of man,” He added, “
listen carefully to all the words I speak to you, and take them to heart.
And go, get
thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear.

listen or refuse to
listen.”
Son of man, I have made
thee a
watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them
warning from me.

watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a
warning from Me.

But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
And you, son of man, they will
tie with ropes, and you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people.
But when I speak with
thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him
forbear: for they are a
rebellious house.
But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you are to tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’
Whoever listens, let him
listen; and
whoever refuses, let him refuse, for they are a
rebellious house.
Thou also, son of man, take
thee a
tile, and lay it before
thee, and
pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
“Now you, son of man, take a brick, place it before you, and draw on it the city of Jerusalem.
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Then take an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between
yourself and the city. Turn your face toward it so that it is under siege, and
besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.
For I have laid upon
thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and
ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
For I have assigned to you 390 days, according to the number of years of their iniquity. So you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you 40 days, a day for each year.
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Now behold, I will
tie you up with ropes so you cannot turn from side to side until you have finished the days of your siege.
Take thou also unto
thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and
millet, and
fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make
thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and
ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
But take wheat, barley, beans, lentils,
millet, and
spelt; put them in a single container and make them into bread for
yourself. This is what you are to eat during the 390 days you lie on your side.
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given
thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread
therewith.
“Look,” He replied, “I will let you use cow dung instead of human
excrement, and you may
bake your bread over that.”
And thou, son of man, take
thee a sharp knife, take
thee a
barber’s
razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy
beard: then take
thee balances to
weigh, and divide the hair.
“As for you, son of man, take a sharp sword, use it as a
barber’s
razor, and
shave your head and
beard. Then take a set of scales and divide the hair.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against
thee, and will
execute judgments in the midst of
thee in the sight of the nations.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I Myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will
execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
And I will do in
thee that which I have not done, and
whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Because of all your abominations, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of
thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will
execute judgments in
thee, and the whole
remnant of
thee will I
scatter into all the winds.
As a result, fathers among you will eat their sons, and sons will eat their fathers. I will
execute judgments against you and
scatter all your
remnant to every wind.’
Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast
defiled my sanctuary with all thy
detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish
thee; neither shall mine eye
spare, neither will I have any
pity.
Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, because you have
defiled My sanctuary with all your
detestable idols and abominations, I Myself will withdraw My favor; I will not look upon you with
pity, nor will I
spare you.
A third part of
thee shall die with the
pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of
thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about
thee and I will
scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
A third of your people will die by plague or be consumed by famine within you, a third will fall by the sword outside your walls, and a third I will
scatter to every wind and
unleash a sword behind them.
Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
I will make you a ruin and a disgrace among the nations around you, in the sight of all who pass by.
So it shall be a reproach and a
taunt, an instruction and an
astonishment unto the nations that are round about
thee, when I shall
execute judgments in
thee in anger and in
fury and in
furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
So you will be a reproach and a
taunt, a
warning and a
horror to the nations around you, when I
execute judgments against you in anger, wrath, and
raging fury. I, the LORD, have spoken.
So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall
bereave thee; and
pestilence and blood shall pass through
thee; and I will bring the sword upon
thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
I will send famine and wild beasts against you, and they will leave you childless. Plague and
bloodshed will
sweep through you, and I will bring a sword against you. I, the LORD, have spoken.”
Now is the end come upon
thee, and I will send mine anger upon
thee, and will judge
thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense upon
thee all thine abominations.
The end is now upon you, and I will
unleash My anger against you. I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
And mine eye shall not
spare thee, neither will I have
pity: but I will
recompense thy ways upon
thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of
thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
I will not look on you with
pity, nor will I
spare you, but I will
punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’
An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
The end has come! The end has come! It has
roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!
The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Doom has come to you, O inhabitants of the land. The time has come; the day is near; there is
panic on the mountains instead of shouts of joy.
Now will I shortly pour out my
fury upon
thee, and
accomplish mine anger upon
thee: and I will judge
thee according to thy ways, and will
recompense thee for all thine abominations.
Very soon I will pour out My wrath upon you and
vent My anger against you; I will judge you according to your ways and repay you for all your abominations.
And mine eye shall not
spare, neither will I have
pity: I will
recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of
thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
I will not look on you with
pity, nor will I
spare you, but I will
punish you for your ways and for the abominations among you. Then you will know that it is I, the LORD, who strikes the blow.
He said
furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn
thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing—the great abominations that the house of Israel is
committing—to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.”
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Again, He told me, “You will see them
committing even greater abominations.”
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.”
Therefore, thou son of man, prepare
thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a
rebellious house.
Therefore, son of man,
pack your bags for exile. In broad
daylight, set out from your place and go to another as they watch. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a
rebellious house.
In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the
twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set
thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
And as they watch, lift your bags to your shoulder and take them out at
dusk; cover your face so that you cannot see the land. For I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.”
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the
rebellious house, said unto
thee, What doest thou?
“Son of man, hasn’t the
rebellious house of Israel asked you, ‘What are you doing?’
On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for
cleansing. You were not
rubbed with salt or
wrapped in cloths.
None eye
pitied thee, to do any of these unto
thee, to have
compassion upon
thee; but thou
wast cast out in the open field, to the
lothing of thy person, in the day that thou
wast born.
No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of
compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were
despised on the day of your birth.
And when I passed by
thee, and saw
thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto
thee when thou
wast in thy blood, Live;
yea, I said unto
thee when thou
wast in thy blood, Live.
Then I passed by and saw you
wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’
I have caused
thee to multiply as the
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
wast naked and bare.
I made you
thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and
matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
Now when I passed by
thee, and looked upon
thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my
skirt over
thee, and covered thy nakedness:
yea, I
sware unto
thee, and entered into a covenant with
thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My
cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I
pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.
Then washed I
thee with water;
yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from
thee, and I
anointed thee with oil.
Then I bathed you with water,
rinsed off your blood, and
anointed you with oil.
I clothed
thee also with
broidered work, and
shod thee with badgers’ skin, and I
girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered
thee with silk.
I clothed you in
embroidered cloth and gave you
sandals of fine leather. I
wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
I adorned you with
jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.
And thy
renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my
comeliness, which I had put upon
thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the
splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given
thee, and madest to
thyself images of men, and
didst commit
whoredom with them,
You also took the fine
jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to
prostitute yourself.
My meat also which I gave
thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey,
wherewith I fed
thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
And you set before them as a pleasing
aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (
woe,
woe unto
thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
Woe!
Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over
thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered
thee unto the will of them that
hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are
ashamed of thy
lewd way.
Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who
hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were
ashamed of your
lewd conduct.
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto
thee on every side for thy
whoredom.
Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You
bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your
illicit favors.
And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
So your
prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one
solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast
hated; I will even gather them round about against
thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you
hated. I will gather them against you from all around and
expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.
And I will judge
thee, as women that break
wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give
thee blood in
fury and jealousy.
And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit
adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your
bloodshed and jealousy.
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and
tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine
jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
They will bring a
mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and
execute judgments upon
thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause
thee to cease from playing the
harlot, and thou also shalt give no
hire any more.
Then they will burn down your houses and
execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your
prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.
So will I make my
fury toward
thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from
thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more
angry.
So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer
angry.
Behold, every one that useth
proverbs shall use this
proverb against
thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which
despise thee round about.
before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now
scorned by the daughters of
Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who
despise you.
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with
thee as thou hast done, which hast
despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have
despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with
thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto
thee an
everlasting covenant.
But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an
everlasting covenant with you.
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be
ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto
thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Then you will remember your ways and be
ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am
pacified toward
thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
so that when I make
atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be
ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
kindle a fire in
thee, and it shall
devour every green tree in
thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be
quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
Say to the forest of the Negev: Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Lord GOD says: I am about to
ignite in you a fire, and it will
devour all your trees, both green and dry. The
blazing flame will not be
quenched, and by it every face from south to north will be
scorched.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against
thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his
sheath, and will cut off from
thee the righteous and the wicked.
and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its
sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.
Seeing then that I will cut off from
thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his
sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be
unsheathed against
everyone from south to north.
And it shall be, when they say unto
thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the
tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall
melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall
faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
And when they ask, ‘Why are you
groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will
melt, and every hand will go
limp. Every spirit will
faint, and every
knee will turn to water.’
Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”
Go
thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left,
whithersoever thy face is set.
Slash to the right; set your
blade to the left— wherever your
blade is directed.
Also, thou son of man,
appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both
twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
“Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a
signpost where the road branches off to each city.
Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you— to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.
Shall I cause it to return into his
sheath? I will judge
thee in the place where thou
wast created, in the land of thy
nativity.
Return the sword to its
sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
And I will pour out mine
indignation upon
thee, I will blow against
thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver
thee into the hand of
brutish men, and skilful to destroy.
I will pour out My anger upon you; I will
breathe the fire of My
fury against you; I will hand you over to
brutal men, skilled in destruction.
Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast
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.
you are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are
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.
Those that be near, and those that be far from
thee, shall
mock thee, which art infamous and much
vexed.
Those near and far will
mock you, O infamous city, full of
turmoil.
Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.
In
thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of
thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in
thee have they
vexed the fatherless and the widow.
Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are
oppressed.
In
thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in
thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of
thee they commit
lewdness.
In
thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in
thee have they humbled her that was set apart for
pollution.
In you they have uncovered the nakedness of their fathers; in you they
violate women during their
menstrual impurity.
And one hath committed
abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath
lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in
thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
One man commits an
abomination with his
neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another
violates his sister, his own father’s daughter.
In
thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken
usury and increase, and thou hast
greedily gained of thy neighbours by
extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
In you they take bribes to shed blood. You
engage in
usury, take excess interest, and
extort your neighbors. But Me you have forgotten, declares the Lord GOD.
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.
Can thine heart
endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with
thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Will your courage
endure or your hands be strong in the day I deal with you? I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will act.
I will
disperse you among the nations and
scatter you throughout the lands; I will
purge your uncleanness.
Therefore, O
Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against
thee, from whom thy mind is
alienated, and I will bring them against
thee on every side;
Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will
incite your lovers against you, those from whom you turned away in
disgust. And I will bring them against you from every side—
And they shall come against
thee with
chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against
thee buckler and shield and
helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge
thee according to their judgments.
They will come against you with a host of peoples, with weapons,
chariots, and wagons. They will
array themselves against you on every side with
buckler and shield and
helmet. I will
delegate judgment to them, and they will
punish you according to their own standards.
