And they committed whoredomsh2181h8799 in Egypth4714; they committed whoredomsh2181h8804 in their youthh5271: there were their breastsh7699 pressedh4600h8795, and there they bruisedh6213h8765 the teatsh1717 of their virginityh1331.

4

And the namesh8034 of them were Aholahh170 the elderh1419, and Aholibahh172 her sisterh269: and they were mine, and they bareh3205h8799 sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323. Thus were their namesh8034; Samariah8111 is Aholahh170, and Jerusalemh3389 Aholibahh172. Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle

Which were clothedh3847h8803 with blueh8504, captainsh6346 and rulersh5461, all of them desirableh2531 young menh970, horsemenh6571 ridingh7392h8802 upon horsesh5483.

Thus she committedh5414h8799 her whoredomsh8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenh4005 menh1121 of Assyriah804, and with all on whom she dotedh5689h8804: with all their idolsh1544 she defiledh2930h8738 herself. committed...: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them

9

Wherefore I have deliveredh5414h8804 her into the handh3027 of her loversh157h8764, into the handh3027 of the Assyriansh1121h804, upon whom she dotedh5689h8804.

10

These discoveredh1540h8765 her nakednessh6172: they tookh3947h8804 her sonsh1121 and her daughtersh1323, and slewh2026h8804 her with the swordh2719: and she became famoush8034 among womenh802; for they had executedh6213h8804 judgmenth8196 upon her. famous: Heb. a name

13

Then I sawh7200h8799 that she was defiledh2930h8738, that they took bothh8147 oneh259 wayh1870,

14

And that she increasedh3254h8686 her whoredomsh8457: for when she sawh7200h8799 menh582 pourtrayedh2707h8794 upon the wallh7023, the imagesh6754 of the Chaldeansh3778 pourtrayedh2710h8803 with vermilionh8350,

15

Girdedh2289 with girdlesh232 upon their loinsh4975, exceedingh5628h8803 in dyed attireh2871 upon their headsh7218, all of them princesh7991 to look toh4758, after the mannerh1823 of the Babyloniansh1121h894 of Chaldeah3778, the landh776 of their nativityh4138:

16

And as soon as she sawh4758 them with her eyesh5869, she dotedh5689h8799 upon them, and senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 unto them into Chaldeah3778. as soon...: Heb. at the sight of her eyes

And the Babyloniansh1121h894 cameh935h8799 to her into the bedh4904 of loveh1730, and they defiledh2930h8762 her with their whoredomh8457, and she was pollutedh2930h8799 with them, and her mindh5315 was alienatedh3363h8799 from them. Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel
alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed

18

So she discoveredh1540h8762 her whoredomsh8457, and discoveredh1540h8762 her nakednessh6172: then my mindh5315 was alienatedh3363h8799 from her, like as my mindh5315 was alienatedh5361h8804 from her sisterh269.

19

Yet she multipliedh7235h8686 her whoredomsh8457, in calling to remembranceh2142h8800 the daysh3117 of her youthh5271, wherein she had played the harloth2181h8804 in the landh776 of Egypth4714.

20

For she dotedh5689h8799 upon their paramoursh6370, whose fleshh1320 is as the fleshh1320 of assesh2543, and whose issueh2231 is like the issueh2231 of horsesh5483.

21

Thus thou calledst to remembranceh6485h8799 the lewdnessh2154 of thy youthh5271, in bruisingh6213h8800 thy teatsh1717 by the Egyptiansh4714 for the papsh7699 of thy youthh5271.

22

Therefore, O Aholibahh172, thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Behold, I will raise uph5782h8688 thy loversh157h8764 against thee, from whom thy mindh5315 is alienatedh5361h8804, and I will bringh935h8689 them against thee on every sideh5439;

23

The Babyloniansh1121h894, and all the Chaldeansh3778, Pekodh6489, and Shoah7772, and Koah6970, and all the Assyriansh1121h804 with them: all of them desirableh2531 young menh970, captainsh6346 and rulersh5461, great lordsh7991 and renownedh7121h8803, all of them ridingh7392h8802 upon horsesh5483.

24

And they shall comeh935h8804 against thee with chariotsh2021, wagonsh7393, and wheelsh1534, and with an assemblyh6951 of peopleh5971, which shall seth7760h8799 against thee bucklerh6793 and shieldh4043 and helmeth6959 round abouth5439: and I will seth5414h8804 judgmenth4941 beforeh6440 them, and they shall judgeh8199h8804 thee according to their judgmentsh4941.

25

And I will seth5414h8804 my jealousyh7068 against thee, and they shall dealh6213h8804 furiouslyh2534 with thee: they shall take awayh5493h8686 thy noseh639 and thine earsh241; and thy remnanth319 shall fallh5307h8799 by the swordh2719: they shall takeh3947h8799 thy sonsh1121 and thy daughtersh1323; and thy residueh319 shall be devouredh398h8735 by the fireh784.

26

They shall also striph6584h8689 thee out of thy clothesh899, and take awayh3947h8804 thy fairh8597 jewelsh3627. fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking

27

Thus will I make thy lewdnessh2154 to ceaseh7673h8689 from thee, and thy whoredomh2184 brought from the landh776 of Egypth4714: so that thou shalt not lift uph5375h8799 thine eyesh5869 unto them, nor rememberh2142h8799 Egypth4714 any more.

28

For thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Behold, I will deliverh5414h8802 thee into the handh3027 of them whom thou hatesth8130h8804, into the handh3027 of them from whom thy mindh5315 is alienatedh5361h8804:

29

And they shall dealh6213h8804 with thee hatefullyh8135, and shall take awayh3947h8804 all thy labourh3018, and shall leaveh5800h8804 thee nakedh5903 and bareh6181: and the nakednessh6172 of thy whoredomsh2183 shall be discoveredh1540h8738, both thy lewdnessh2154 and thy whoredomsh8457.

30

I will doh6213h8800 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringh2181h8800 afterh310 the heathenh1471, and because thou art pollutedh2930h8738 with their idolsh1544.

31

Thou hast walkedh1980h8804 in the wayh1870 of thy sisterh269; therefore will I giveh5414h8804 her cuph3563 into thine handh3027.

32

Thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Thou shalt drinkh8354h8799 of thy sister'sh269 cuph3563 deeph6013 and largeh7342: thou shalt be laughed to scornh6712 and had in derisionh3933; it containethh3557h8687 muchh4767.

33

Thou shalt be filledh4390h8735 with drunkennessh7943 and sorrowh3015, with the cuph3563 of astonishmenth8047 and desolationh8077, with the cuph3563 of thy sisterh269 Samariah8111.

34

Thou shalt even drinkh8354h8804 it and suck it outh4680h8804, and thou shalt breakh1633h8762 the sherdsh2789 thereof, and pluck offh5423h8762 thine own breastsh7699: for I have spokenh1696h8765 it , saithh5002h8803 the Lordh136 GODh3069.

35

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; Because thou hast forgottenh7911h8804 me, and casth7993h8686 me behindh310 thy backh1458, therefore bearh5375h8798 thou also thy lewdnessh2154 and thy whoredomsh8457.

36

The LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 moreover unto me; Sonh1121 of manh120, wilt thou judgeh8199h8799 Aholahh170 and Aholibahh172? yea, declareh5046h8685 unto them their abominationsh8441; judge: or, plead for

37

That they have committed adulteryh5003h8765, and bloodh1818 is in their handsh3027, and with their idolsh1544 have they committed adulteryh5003h8765, and have also caused their sonsh1121, whom they bareh3205h8804 unto me, to pass for them throughh5674h8689 the fire , to devourh402 them .

38

Moreover this they have doneh6213h8804 unto me: they have defiledh2930h8765 my sanctuaryh4720 in the same dayh3117, and have profanedh2490h8765 my sabbathsh7676.

39

For when they had slainh7819h8800 their childrenh1121 to their idolsh1544, then they cameh935h8799 the same dayh3117 into my sanctuaryh4720 to profaneh2490h8763 it; and, lo, thus have they doneh6213h8804 in the midsth8432 of mine househ1004.

40

And furthermoreh637, that ye have senth7971h8799 for menh582 to comeh935h8802 from farh4801, unto whom a messengerh4397 was senth7971h8803; and, lo, they cameh935h8804: for whom thou didst washh7364h8804 thyself, paintedsth3583h8804 thy eyesh5869, and deckedsth5710h8804 thyself with ornamentsh5716, to come: Heb. coming

41

And satesth3427h8804 upon a statelyh3520 bedh4296, and a tableh7979 preparedh6186h8803 beforeh6440 it, whereupon thou hast seth7760h8804 mine incenseh7004 and mine oilh8081. stately: Heb. honourable

42

And a voiceh6963 of a multitudeh1995 being at easeh7961 was with her: and with the menh582 of the common sorth7230h120 were broughth935h8716 Sabeansh5436h8675h5433h8802 from the wildernessh4057, which puth5414h8799 braceletsh6781 upon their handsh3027, and beautifulh8597 crownsh5850 upon their headsh7218. of the...: Heb. of the multitude of men
Sabeans: or, drunkards

43

Then saidh559h8799 I unto her that was oldh1087 in adulteriesh5004, Will they now commith2181h8799 whoredomsh8457 with her, and she with them ? whoredoms...: Heb. her whoredoms

44

Yet they went inh935h8799 unto her, as they go inh935h8800 unto a womanh802 that playeth the harloth2181h8802: so went they inh935h8804 unto Aholahh170 and unto Aholibahh172, the lewdh2154 womenh802.

45

And the righteoush6662 menh582, they shall judgeh8199h8799 them after the mannerh4941 of adulteressesh5003h8802, and after the mannerh4941 of women that shedh8210h8802 bloodh1818; because they are adulteressesh5003h8802, and bloodh1818 is in their handsh3027.

46

For thus saithh559h8804 the Lordh136 GODh3069; I will bring uph5927h8687 a companyh6951 upon them, and will giveh5414h8800 them to be removedh2189 and spoiledh957. to be...: Heb. for a removing and spoil

47

And the companyh6951 shall stoneh7275h8804 them with stonesh68, and dispatchh1254h8763 them with their swordsh2719; they shall slayh2026h8799 their sonsh1121 and their daughtersh1323, and burn uph8313h8799 their housesh1004 with fireh784. dispatch...: or, single them out

48

Thus will I cause lewdnessh2154 to ceaseh7673h8689 out of the landh776, that all womenh802 may be taughth3256h8739 not to doh6213h8799 after your lewdnessh2154.

49

And they shall recompenseh5414h8804 your lewdnessh2154 upon you, and ye shall bearh5375h8799 the sinsh2399 of your idolsh1544: and ye shall knowh3045h8804 that I am the Lordh136 GODh3069.
