1	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying# ,
			2	Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know# her abominations,
			3	And say# , Thus saith# the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. [birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation]
			4	And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born# thy navel was not cut# , neither wast thou washed# in water to supple thee ; thou wast not salted# at all# , nor swaddled# at all# . [to supple...: or, when I looked upon thee]
			5	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# .
			6	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# . [polluted: or, trodden under foot]
			7	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. [caused...: Heb. made thee a million] [excellent...: Heb. ornament of ornaments]
			8	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.
			9	Then washed# I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away# thy blood from thee, and I anointed# thee with oil. [blood: Heb. bloods]
			10	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.
			11	I decked# thee also with ornaments, and I put# bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
			12	And I put# a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. [forehead: Heb. nose]
			13	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.
			14	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.
			15	But thou didst trust# in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot# because of thy renown, and pouredst out# thy fornications on every one that passed by# ; his it was.
			16	And of thy garments thou 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 .
			17	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, [of men: Heb. of a male]
			18	And tookest# thy broidered garments, and coveredst# them: and thou hast set# mine oil and mine incense before them.
			19	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. [a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest]
			20	Moreover thou hast taken# thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne# unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed# unto them to be devoured# . Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter, [to be...: Heb. to devour]
			21	That thou hast slain# my children, and delivered# them to cause them to pass through# the fire for them?
			22	And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered# the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted# in thy blood.
			23	And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith# the Lord GOD;)
			24	That thou hast also built# unto thee an eminent place, and hast made# thee an high place in every street. [eminent...: or, brothel house]
			25	Thou hast built# thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred# , and hast opened# thy feet to every one that passed by# , and multiplied# thy whoredoms.
			26	Thou hast also committed fornication# with the Egyptians# thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased# thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger# .
			27	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. [daughters: or, cities]
			28	Thou hast played the whore# also with the Assyrians# , because thou wast unsatiable# ; yea, thou hast played the harlot# with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
			29	Thou hast moreover multiplied# thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied# herewith.
			30	How weak# is thine heart, saith# the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest# all these things , the work of an imperious whorish# woman;
			31	In that thou buildest# thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest# thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot# , in that thou scornest# hire; [In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc]
			32	But as a wife that committeth adultery# , which taketh# strangers# instead of her husband!
			33	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. [hirest: Heb. bribest]
			34	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.
			35	Wherefore, O harlot# , hear# the word of the LORD:
			36	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out# , and thy nakedness discovered# through thy whoredoms with thy lovers# , and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give# unto them;
			37	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.
			38	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. [as: Heb. with judgments of]
			39	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. [thy fair...: Heb. instruments of thine ornament]
			40	They shall also bring up# a company against thee, and they shall stone# thee with stones, and thrust thee through# with their swords.
			41	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.
			42	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# .
			43	Because thou hast not remembered# the days of thy youth, but hast fretted# me in all these things ; behold, therefore I also will recompense# thy way upon thine head, saith# the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit# this lewdness above all thine abominations.
			44	Behold, every one that useth proverbs# shall use this proverb# against thee, saying# , As is the mother, so is her daughter.
			45	Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth# her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed# their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
			46	And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell# at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth# at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. [thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou]
			47	Yet hast thou not walked# after their ways, nor done# after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little# # thing , thou wast corrupted# more than they in all thy ways. [as if...: or, that was lothed as a small thing]
			48	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.
			49	Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness# was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen# the hand of the poor and needy.
			50	And they were haughty# , and committed# abomination before me: therefore I took them away# as I saw# good .
			51	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# .
			52	Thou also, which hast judged# thy sisters, bear# thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more 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.
			53	When I shall bring again# their captivity# # , the captivity# # of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity# # of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity# # of thy captives in the midst of them:
			54	That thou mayest bear# thine own shame, and mayest be confounded# in all that thou hast done# , in that thou art a comfort# unto them.
			55	When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return# to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return# to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return# to your former estate.
			56	For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, [mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing] [pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies]
			57	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. [Syria: Heb. Aram] [despise: or, spoil]
			58	Thou hast borne# thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith# the LORD. [borne: Heb. borne them]
			59	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.
			60	Nevertheless I will remember# my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish# unto thee an everlasting covenant.
			61	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.
			62	And I will establish# my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know# that I am the LORD:
			63	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.
