lesserot@Ezekiel:22:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:2 @ And thou, son of man, wilt thou take to task, wilt thou take to task the city of blood? and wilt thou make her know all her abominations?

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:3 @ Then say thou, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, O city that sheddeth blood in her midst, that her time may come, and that hath made idols for herself to become unclean:

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:4 @ Through thy blood which thou hast shed, are thou become guilty; and through thy idols which thou hast made art thou become unclean; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and thou art come even unto thy years; therefore do I make thee a disgrace unto the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:5 @ Those who are near, and those who are far from thee, shall mock thee, O thou unclean in name, and great in confusion!

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:6 @ Behold, the princes of Israel were each with his arm within thee, in order to shed blood.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:7 @ Father and mother they esteemed lightly within thee, toward the stranger they acted with extortion in the midst of thee, the fatherless and the widow they oppressed within thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:8 @ My holy things thou didst despise, and my sabbaths thou didst profane.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:9 @ Talebearers were within thee, in order to shed blood; and upon the mountains did they eat within thee; incest did they commit in the midst of thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:10 @ Their fathers nakedness they uncovered within thee; her that was unclean in her separation did they violate within thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:11 @ And one with his neighbors wife did commit abomination; and another did defile his daughterinlaw with incest; and another did violate his sister, the daughter of his father, within thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:12 @ Bribes they took within thee, in order to shed blood; interest and increase didst thou take, and thou didst acquire gain off thy neighbors by extortion: and me thou didst forget, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:13 @ And behold, I have struck my hands together at thy wrongful gain which thou hast acquired, and at thy bloodguilt which hath been in the midst of thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:14 @ Will thy courage endure, or will thy hands remain strong, on the days that I will deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:15 @ And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and I will entirely remove thy uncleanness out of thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:16 @ And thou shalt be degraded through thyself before the eyes of nations, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:17 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:18 @ Son of man, the house of Israel are become to me dross: they all are copper, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; the dross of silver are they become.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:19 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:20 @ As silver, and copper, and iron, and lead, and tin are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it: so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury and I will lay you down there, and melt you.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:21 @ Yea, I will assemble you in a heap, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:22 @ As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst of it: and ye shall know that I am the Lord who have poured out my fury over you.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:23 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:24 @ Son of man, say unto her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed; which is not rained upon on the day of indignation.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:25 @ The banded troop of her prophets in the midst of her is like a roaring lion that teareth in pieces the prey: souls do they devour; wealth and precious things do they take away; the number of her widows do they increase in the midst of her.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:26 @ Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things: between the holy and profane do they make no distinction, and the difference between the unclean and the clean do they not make known, and from my sabbaths do they turn away their eyes, so that I am profaned among them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:27 @ Her princes in her midst are like wolves that tear in pieces the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, in order to obtain selfish gain.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:28 @ And her prophets plastered for them with unadhesive mortar, foreseeing falsehood, and divining unto them lies, saying, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal; when the Lord had not spoken.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:29 @ The people of the land are guilty of extortion, and practise robbery, and the poor and the needy they defraud: and they extort from the stranger with injustice.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:30 @ And I seek now among them for a man, that could erect a fence, and stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land, so that I should not destroy it; but I find none.

lesserot@Ezekiel:22:31 @ And I therefore pour out over them my indignation; with the fire of my wrath do I make an end of them: their own way do I bring upon their head, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:2 @ Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:3 @ And they played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot: there were their breasts pressed, and there they suffered their virgin bosoms to be touched.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:4 @ And their names were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister; but they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters: and their names are, Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem, Aholibah.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:5 @ And Aholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she longed for her lovers, for the Assyrians that were near,

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:6 @ Clothed in blue, governors, and rulers, attractive youths all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:7 @ Thus she played the harlot with them, all of them the chosen ones of the sons of Asshur: and with all for whom she longed,with all their idols did she defile herself.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:8 @ But also her lewdness from Egypt forsook she not; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had touched her virgin bosom, and had lavished their lewd caresses on her.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:9 @ Therefore did I give her up into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Asshur, after whom she longed.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:10 @ These were they that laid open her nakedness; her sons and her daughters did they take away, and her they slew with the sword: and she became infamous among women, when they inflicted the decreed punishments on her.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:11 @ And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her longing than she, and in her lewd acts more than her sisters lewdness.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:12 @ For the sons of Asshur did she long, the governors and rulers that were near, clothed as they were most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, attractive youths all of them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:13 @ Then saw I that she was defiled, that they followed both one way.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:14 @ But she added still more to her acts of lewdness; for when she saw men engraved upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with color,

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:15 @ Bound with girdles on their loins, with hanging down colored turbans on their heads, in appearance like commanders, all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon of the Chaldeans, the land of their birth:

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:16 @ Then did she long for them as soon as she saw them with her eyes, and she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:17 @ And the sons of Babylon came to her unto the couch of love, and they defiled her with their lewd caresses; and when she had been defiled with them, she tore her soul away from them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:18 @ And when she had laid open her lewdness, and had uncovered her nakedness: then my soul tore itself away from her, as my soul had torn itself away from her sister.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:19 @ Yet she multiplied her deeds of lewdness, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:20 @ And she longed for her paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose lustfulness is like the lustfulness of horses.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:21 @ And thou calledst to mind the incest of thy youth, when thy bosom was touched by the Egyptians for the sake of thy youthful breasts.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:22 @ Therefore, O Aholibah, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will wake up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul hath torn itself away, and I will bring them against thee from every side;

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:23 @ The sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa and Koa, and all the sons of Asshur with them, attractive youths, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and chiefs, riding upon horses all of them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:24 @ And they shall come over thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, buckler and shield and helmet shall they set up against thee round about: and I will give up before them the right to judge, and they shall judge thee according to their ordinances.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:25 @ And I will set my zealousness against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; thy nose and thy ears shall they cut off; and what is left of thee shall fall by the sword: thy sons and thy daughters shall they take away; and what is left of thee shall be devoured by the fire.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:26 @ And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy ornamental attire.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:27 @ Thus will I make thy incest to cease from thee, and thy lewdness brought from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thy eyes unto them, and Egypt shalt thou not remember any more.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:28 @ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will give thee up into the hand of those whom thou hatest, into the hand of those from whom thy soul hath torn itself away;

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:29 @ And they shall deal with thee in hate, and shall take away all thy labor, and they shall leave thee naked and bare: and thus shall be uncovered the nakedness of thy lewdness, and thy incest and thy lewd deeds.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:30 @ I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone with vile lust after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:31 @ On the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I place her cup into thy hand.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:32 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The cup of thy sister shalt thou drink, the deep and wide one: thou shalt become to be laughed to scorn and to be held in derision, more than thou canst bear.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:33 @ With drunkenness and sorrow shalt thou be filled, the cup of astonishment and confusion, the cup of thy sister Samaria.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:34 @ Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt break in pieces its fragments, and tear thy own breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:35 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back: therefore bear thou also thy incest and thy acts of lewdness.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:36 @ The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, wilt thou call Aholah and Aholibah to account? then tell them of their abominations;

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:37 @ That they have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and also their sons whom they had born unto me have they caused to pass for them through, to devour them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:38 @ Moreover this have they done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and my sabbaths have they profaned.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:39 @ And when they had slain their children to their idols, then came they into my sanctuary on the same day to profane it: and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:40 @ And farthermore yet, because they sent for men who were to come from afar, unto whom messengers were sent; and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst bathe thyself, paint thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:41 @ And thou didst sit upon a stately bed, with a table spread before it, and my incense and my oil didst thou set upon it.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:42 @ And the shout of a peaceful joyous multitude was within her; and with the men of the masses of the common people were brought Sabeans from the wilderness; and these women placed bracelets on their hands, and crowns of glory upon their heads.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:43 @ Then thought I of her that was worn out in adulteries, Will they now commit lewdness with her, when she?

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:44 @ But men went in unto her, as they go in unto a faithless wife: thus went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the incestuous women.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:45 @ Righteous men, howeverthese shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because adulteresses are they, and blood is on their hands.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:46 @ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will bring up against them an assemblage of men, and I will give them up to illusage and plunder.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:47 @ And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords: their sons and their daughters shall they slay, and their houses shall they burn with fire.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:48 @ Thus will I cause incest to cease out of the land, that all women may be warned by example, and not do after your incestuous course.

lesserot@Ezekiel:23:49 @ And they shall lay your incest upon you, and the sins of your idols shall ye bear: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:2 @ Son of man, write thee down the name of this day, of this same day: the king of Babylon hath advanced against Jerusalem on this same day.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:3 @ And speak concerning the rebellious family a parable, and say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Set on the pot, set it on, and also pour water into it;

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:4 @ Gather the proper pieces into it, every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it up with the choice bones.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:5 @ Take the choice of the flock, and make also a fire for the bones under it: cause it to seethe well, that even the bones therein may be fully boiled through.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:6 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of bloodguiltiness, to the pot the scum of which is yet in it, and the scum of which is not gone out of it! one of its pieces after the other take out from it: no lot is cast for it.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:7 @ For her blood was in the midst of her; on the naked rock did she place it: she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it over with dust.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:8 @ To cause my fury to arise to take vengeance, do I place her blood upon the naked rock, so that it shall not be covered up.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:9 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the city of bloodguiltiness! I also will myself build up a large burning pile,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:10 @ Heaping on the wood, kindling the fire, thoroughly boiling the flesh, and stirring the mixture, that the bones may be scorched.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:11 @ Then will I set it empty upon its coals, in order that it may become hot, and its copper be made to glow, and its uncleanness may be molten in it, that its scum may be consumed.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:12 @ With fraud hath she wearied; therefore shall not go forth from her the greatness of her scum: through fire shall her scum.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:13 @ In thy uncleanness is incest; because I endeavored to cleanse thee, and thou wouldst not be clean, thou shalt not be cleansed from thy uncleanness any more, until I have assuaged my fury on thee.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:14 @ I the Lord have spoken it; it cometh to pass, and I will do it; I will not recall my decree, and I will not have pity, nor will I repent: according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall men judge thee, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:15 @ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:16 @ Son of man, behold, I will take away from thee the desire of thy eyes by a sudden death; but thou shalt neither mourn nor weep, nor shalt thou shed a tear.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:17 @ Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the deceased, thy bonnet bind around thy head, and thy shoes put on thy feet, and cover not thyself to thy upper lip, and eat not the bread of men.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:18 @ And when I had spoken unto the people in the morning, my wife died at evening: and I did in the morning as I had been commanded.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:19 @ And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things mean for us, that thou doest so?

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:20 @ And I said unto them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:21 @ Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and the darling of your soul: and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left behind shall fall by the sword.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:22 @ And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover yourselves to your upper lip, and the bread of other men shall ye not eat.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:23 @ And your bonnets shall be around your heads, and your shoes shall be on your feet: ye shall not mourn nor shall ye weep; but ye shall pine away in your iniquities, and groan, looking one at the other.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:24 @ Thus shall Ezekiel be unto you for a token; in accordance with all that he hath done shall ye do: when this cometh, then shall ye know that I am the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:25 @ Also, thou son of man, behold, on the day when I take from them their stronghold, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the coveted object of their soul, their sons and their daughters,

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:26 @ On that day there shall come one that hath escaped unto thee, and announce it to thy ears.

lesserot@Ezekiel:24:27 @ On that day shall thy mouth be opened through him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and thou shalt not be silenced any more: and thou shalt be a token unto them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:1 @ And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:2 @ Son of man, set thy face against the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:3 @ And say unto the sons of Ammon, Hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast said, Aha, concerning my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and concerning the land of Israel, when it was made desolate; and concerning the house of Judah, when they went into exile:

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:4 @ Therefore, behold, I will give thee up to the children of the east for a possession, and they shall set up their towers in thee, and place in thee their dwellings; they shall indeed eat thy fruit, and they shall surely drink thy milk.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:5 @ And I will change Rabbah into a pasture for camels, and the sons of Ammon into a restingplace for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:6 @ For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Whereas thou didst clap thy hands, and stamp with thy feet, and rejoice with all thy derision in the soul over the land of Israel:

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:7 @ Therefore, behold, will I stretch out my hand over thee, and will give thee up for a spoil to the nations; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries; I will destroy thee, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:8 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations:

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:9 @ Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethhayeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiryathayim,

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:10 @ Unto the children of the east against the sons of Ammon, and I will give them in possession; in order that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:11 @ And on Moab will I execute judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:12 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Edomites have acted revengefully against the house of Judah, and have greatly offended, and have taken vengeance on them:

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:13 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will also stretch out my hand against Edom, and cut off from it man and beast; and I will make it a ruined land from Theman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:14 @ And I will display my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my fury: and they shall feel my vengeance, saith the Lord Eternal.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:15 @ Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the Philistines have acted in revenge, and have taken vengeance with derision in their soul, to destroy out of ancient enmity:

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:16 @ Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethim, and destroy the remnant of the of the seacoast.

lesserot@Ezekiel:25:17 @ And I will execute on them great vengeances with furious chastisements: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I display my vengeance on them.

lesserot@Ezekiel:26:1 @ And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
