hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his

rampart and the wall to
lament; they
languished together.

lament; together they waste away.

hath caused thine enemy to
rejoice over thee, he
hath set up the horn of thine
adversaries.

rebellious nation that
hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have
transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me. To this very day they and their fathers have rebelled against Me.
And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will
forbear, (for they are a
rebellious house,) yet shall know that there
hath been a prophet among them.
And whether they
listen or refuse to
listen—for they are a
rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Again, When a righteous man
doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him
warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he
hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a
stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not
warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.
Then said I,
Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul
hath not been
polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is
torn in pieces; neither came there
abominable flesh into my mouth.
“
Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I have never
defiled myself. From my youth until now I have not eaten anything found dead or
mauled by wild beasts. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.”
And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
But she has rebelled against My ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against My statutes worse than the countries around her. For her people have rejected My ordinances and have not walked in My statutes.’
And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations
whither they shall be carried
captives, because I am broken with their
whorish heart, which
hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a
whoring after their idols: and they shall
lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Then in the nations to which they have been carried
captive, your survivors will remember Me—how I have been
grieved by their
adulterous hearts that turned away from Me, and by their eyes that
lusted after idols. So they will
loathe themselves for the evil they have done and for all their abominations.
Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod
hath blossomed, pride
hath budded.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his
imagery? for they say, The LORD
seeth us not; the LORD
hath forsaken the earth.

shrine of his own
idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has
forsaken the land.’”
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of
perverseness: for they say, The LORD
hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD
seeth not.
He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of
bloodshed, and the city is full of
perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has
forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’
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?’
They have seen vanity and lying
divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD
hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would
confirm the word.
They see false visions and speak lying divinations. They claim, ‘Thus declares the LORD,’ when the LORD did not send them; yet they wait for the
fulfillment of their message.
And if the prophet be
deceived when he
hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have
deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
But if the prophet is
enticed to speak a message, then it was I the LORD who
enticed him, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from among My people Israel.
Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire
hath devoured it, and it is burned?
Even when it was whole, it could not be made useful. How much less can it ever be useful when the fire has consumed it and
charred it!
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.

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.
As I live, saith the Lord GOD,
Sodom thy sister
hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister
Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.
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.
Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.
Say now to the
rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and
hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
“Now say to this
rebellious house: ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, carried off its king and officials, and brought them back with him to Babylon.
And hath taken of the king’s seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
He took a member of the royal family and made a covenant with him, putting him under oath. Then he carried away the leading men of the land,
Seeing he
despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and
hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
He
despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in
pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!’
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he
hath despised, and my covenant that he
hath broken, even it will I
recompense upon his own head.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘As surely as I live, I will bring down upon his head My oath that he
despised and My covenant that he broke.
And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my
snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will
plead with him there for his
trespass that he
hath trespassed against me.
I will spread My net over him and catch him in My
snare. I will bring him to Babylon and
execute judgment upon him there for the treason he committed against Me.

hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither
hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither
hath defiled his neighbour’s wife, neither
hath come near to a
menstruous woman,

defile his
neighbor’s wife or approach a woman during her period.
And
hath not
oppressed any, but
hath restored to the
debtor his
pledge,
hath spoiled none by violence,
hath given his bread to the
hungry, and
hath covered the naked with a garment;
He does not
oppress another, but restores the
pledge to the
debtor. He does not commit
robbery, but gives his bread to the
hungry and covers the naked with clothing.
He that
hath not given forth upon
usury, neither
hath taken any increase, that
hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity,
hath executed true judgment between man and man,
He does not
engage in
usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.
Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
He follows My statutes and faithfully keeps My ordinances. That man is righteous; surely he will live, declares the Lord GOD.
And that doeth not any of those duties, but even
hath eaten upon the mountains, and
defiled his neighbour’s wife,
though the father has done none of them: Indeed, the son eats at the mountain and defiles his
neighbor’s wife.
He oppresses the poor and
needy; he commits
robbery and does not restore a
pledge. He lifts his eyes to idols; he commits abominations.
Hath given forth upon
usury, and
hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he
hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
He engages in
usury and takes excess interest. Will this son live? He will not! Since he has committed all these abominations, he will surely die; his blood will be on his own head.
Now, lo, if he
beget a son, that
seeth all his father’s sins which he
hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
Now suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father has committed, considers them, and does not do likewise:
That
hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither
hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel,
hath not
defiled his neighbour’s wife,
He does not eat at the mountain or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not
defile his
neighbor’s wife.
