thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will
execute judgments among you.

therein.

daubed it with untempered
morter:

astray, saying, ‘Peace,’ when

stormy wind shall
rend it.

rend it with a
stormy wind in my
fury; and
there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my
fury to
consume it.

windstorm, and in My anger torrents of rain and
hail will fall with destructive
fury.

morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation
thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst
thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

therein shall be left a
remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.

didst take, and deckedst thy high places with
divers colours, and playedst the

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!

harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
Therefore, O
prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!

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.

plantation.

thereof, and cut off the fruit
thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to
pluck it up by the roots
thereof.

snare. I will bring him to Babylon and
execute judgment upon him
there for the treason he committed against Me.

For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered
there their sacrifices, and
there they presented the
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.

whereunto ye go? And the name
thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
So I asked them: ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ (And to this day it is called Bamah.)
Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye
polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye

there will I
plead with you face to face.

lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.

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.
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.
Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness
sigh before their eyes.
But you, son of man,
groan!
Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.

howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people:
smite therefore upon thy
thigh.
Cry out and
wail, O son of man, for the sword is
wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are
tossed to the sword with My people;
therefore strike your
thigh.

smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
‘So then, son of man,
prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike two times, even three. It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!

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:

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.
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.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become

As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to
melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my
fury, and I will leave you
there, and
melt you.
Just as one gathers silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin into the furnace to
melt with a
fiery blast, so I will gather you in My anger and wrath, leave you
there, and
melt you.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst
thereof.
Yes, I will gather you together and blow on you with the fire of My wrath, and you will be melted within the city.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst
thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my
fury upon you.
As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted within the city. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have poured out My wrath upon you.’”

conspiracy of her prophets in the midst
thereof, like a
roaring lion
ravening the prey; they have
devoured souls; they have taken the
treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst
thereof.

conspiracy of the princes in her midst is like a
roaring lion

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—

bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
Then set it empty upon the coals
thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the
filthiness of it may be
molten in it, that the
scum of it may be consumed.

melt within; its
rust will be consumed.

Sidon and Arvad were your

The ancients of Gebal and the wise men
thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy
merchandise.

merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast
sinned:
therefore I will cast thee as
profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering
cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

guardian cherub, from among the
fiery stones.

defiled thy
sanctuaries by the multitude of thine
iniquities, by the iniquity of thy
traffick;

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.

pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any
grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that
despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that
despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
And
there they will dwell securely, build houses, and plant vineyards. They will dwell securely when I
execute judgments against all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.’”
