1
Jerusalem Is Unfaithful
The Lord said:
Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Ezekiel, son of man, remind the people of Jerusalem of their disgusting sins Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3 and tell them that I, the Lord God, am saying: Jerusalem, you were born in the country where Canaanites lived. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite. 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.
4 When you were born, no one cut you loose from your mother or washed your body. No one rubbed your skin with salt and olive oil, and wrapped you in warm blankets. 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.
5 Not one person loved you enough to do any of these things, and no one even felt sorry for you. You were despised, thrown into a field, and forgotten. 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 I saw you lying there, rolling around in your own blood, and I couldn't let you die. 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.
7 I took care of you, like someone caring for a tender, young plant. You grew up to be a beautiful young woman with mature breasts and hair, but you were still naked. 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.
8 When I saw you again, you were old enough to have sex. So I covered your naked body with my own robe. Then I solemnly promised that you would belong to me and that I, the Lord God, would take care of you. 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 I washed the blood off you and rubbed your skin with olive oil. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10 I gave you the finest clothes and the most expensive robes, as well as sandals made from the best leather. 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 gave you bracelets, a necklace, I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12 a ring for your nose, some earrings, and a beautiful crown. And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13 Your jewelry was gold and silver, and your clothes were made of only the finest material and embroidered linen. Your bread was baked from fine flour, and you ate honey and olive oil. You were as beautiful as a queen, 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 everyone on earth knew it. I, the Lord God, had helped you become a lovely young woman. 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 You learned that you were attractive enough to have any man you wanted, so you offered yourself to every passerby. 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 You made shrines for yourself and decorated them with some of your clothes. That's where you took your visitors to have sex with them. These things should never have happened! 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 You made idols out of the gold and silver jewelry I gave you, then you sinned by worshiping those idols. 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,
18 You dressed them in the clothes you got from me, and you offered them the olive oil and incense I gave you. And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19 I supplied you with fine flour, olive oil, and honey, but you sacrificed it all as offerings to please those idols. I, the Lord God, watched this happen. 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.
20 But you did something even worse than that—you sacrificed your own children to those idols! 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,
21 You slaughtered my children, so you could offer them as sacrifices. That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 You were so busy sinning and being a prostitute that you refused to think about the days when you were young and were rolling around naked in your own blood. 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 Now I, the Lord God, say you are doomed! Not only did you do these evil things, And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord God;)
24 but you also built places on every street corner That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 where you disgraced yourself by having sex with anyone who walked by. And you did that more and more every day! 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 To make me angry, you even offered yourself to Egyptians, who were always ready to sleep with you. Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27 So I punished you by letting those greedy Philistine enemies take over some of your territory. But even they were offended by your repulsive behavior. 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.
28 You couldn't get enough sex, so you chased after Assyrians and slept with them. You still weren't satisfied, 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 so you went after Babylonians. But those merchants could not satisfy you either. Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30 I, the Lord God, say that you were so disgusting that you would have done anything to get what you wanted. How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
31 You had sex on every street corner, and when you finished, you refused to accept money. That's worse than being a prostitute! 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;
32 You are nothing but an unfaithful wife who would rather have sex with strangers than with your own husband. But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33 Prostitutes accept money for having sex, but you bribe men from everywhere to have sex with you. 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.
34 You're not like other prostitutes. Men don't ask you for sex—you offer to pay them! 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
Jerusalem Must Be Punished / The said:
Jerusalem, you prostitute, listen to me.
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord:
36 You chased after lovers, then took off your clothes and had sex. You even worshiped disgusting idols and sacrificed your own children as offerings to them. 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 So I, the Lord God, will gather every one of your lovers, those you liked and those you hated. They will stand around you, and I will rip off your clothes and let all of those lovers stare at your nakedness. 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 I will find you guilty of being an unfaithful wife and a murderer, and in my fierce anger I will sentence you to a violent death! 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.
39 Then I will hand you over to your lovers, who will tear down the places where you had sex. They will take your clothes and jewelry, leaving you naked and empty-handed. 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.
40 Your lovers and an angry mob will stone you to death; they will cut your dead body into pieces 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 burn down your houses. Other women will watch these terrible things happen to you. I promise to stop you from being a prostitute and paying your lovers for sex. 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 Only then will I calm down and stop being angry and jealous. 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 You made me furious by doing all these disgusting things and by forgetting how I took care of you when you were young. Then you made things worse by acting like a prostitute. You must be punished! I, the Lord God, have spoken. 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
Jerusalem's Two Sisters / The said:
People will use this saying about you, Jerusalem: “If the mother is bad, so is her daughter.”
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
45 You are just like your mother, who hated her husband and her own children. You are also like your sisters, who hated their husbands and children. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite. 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 Your older sister was Samaria, that city to your north with her nearby villages. Your younger sister was Sodom, that city to your south with her nearby villages. 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.
47 You followed their way of life and their wicked customs, and soon you were more repulsive than they were. 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.
48 As surely as I am the living Lord God, the people of Sodom and its nearby villages were never as sinful as you. 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 They were arrogant and spoiled; they had everything they needed and still refused to help the poor and needy. 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 They thought they were better than everyone else, and they did things I hate. And so I destroyed them. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
51 You people of Jerusalem have sinned twice as much as the people of Samaria. In fact, your evil ways have made both Sodom and Samaria look innocent. 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 So their punishment will seem light compared to yours. You will be disgraced and put to shame because of your disgusting sins. 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
Jerusalem Will Be Ashamed / The said to Jerusalem:
Someday I will bless Sodom and Samaria and their nearby villages. I will also bless you, Jerusalem.
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 Then you will be ashamed of how you've acted, and Sodom and Samaria will be relieved that they weren't as sinful as you. 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 that day comes, you and Sodom and Samaria will once again be well-off, and all nearby villages will be restored. 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 Jerusalem, you were so arrogant that you sneered at Sodom. For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
57 But now everyone has learned how wicked you really are. The countries of Syria and Philistia, as well as your other neighbors, hate you and make insulting remarks. 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.
58 You must pay for all the vulgar and disgusting things you have done. I, the Lord, have spoken. Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the Lord.
59
The Makes a Promise to Jerusalem / The said:
Jerusalem, you deserve to be punished, because you broke your promises and ignored our agreement.
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 But I remember the agreement I made with you when you were young, and so I will make you a promise that will last forever. Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
61 When you think about how you acted, you will be ashamed, especially when I return your sisters to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our agreement. 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 I will keep this solemn promise, and you will know that I am the Lord. And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:
63 I will forgive you, but you will think about your sins and be too ashamed to say a word. I, the Lord God, have spoken. 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.
