rotherham@Ezekiel:22:3 @ Thou shalt say then Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, A city shedding blood in her own midst That her time might come, Therefore hath she been making manufactured gods for herself, to be defiled.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:4 @ Because of the blood which thou hast shed, hast thou become guilty. And with the manufactured gods which thou hast made, hast thou defiled thyself, Thus hast thou brought near thy days, And hast come unto thy years, For this cause, have I delivered thee As a reproach to the nations, And as a derision to all the lands.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:5 @ They who are near and they who are far off from thee shall shew themselves derisive over these, O thou of impure name, abounding in confusion!
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:6 @ Lo! the princes of Israel, very man for his own arm, have they been in thee, For the sake of shedding blood.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:7 @ Father and mother, have they despised in thee, To the sojourner, have they dealt with oppression in the midst of thee, The fatherless and the widow, have they maltreated in thee:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:8 @ My holy things, hast thou despised,- And my sabbaths, hast thou profaned:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:9 @ Slanders, have arisen in thee For the sake of shedding blood,- And unto the mountains, have they eaten in thee, Lewdness, have they practised in the midst of thee:

rotherham@Ezekiel:22:11 @ And, one man, with the wife of his neighbour, hath wrought abomination, And another hath defiled this daughter-in- law by shameful deed, And another! his own sister daughter of his own father, hath humbled in thee:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:12 @ Bribes, have they accepted in thee, For the sake of shedding blood,-Interest and increase, hast thou accepted And thou hast overreached thy neighbour by oppression, And me, hast thou forgotten, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:13 @ Lo! therefore I have smitten my hand, At thine unjust gain which thou hast made And over thy bloodshed, which they have caused in thy midst.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:14 @ Can thy heart endure or can thy hands be strong in the days when I am dealing with thee? I. Yahweh have spoken and will perform.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:15 @ Therefore will I disperse thee among the nations, And scatter thee throughout the lands, And will cause to cease thine impurity out of thee;
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:16 @ So shalt thou be profaned in thyself, before the eyes of nations, Thus shalt thou know that, I, am Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:17 @ Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:18 @ Son of man, The house of Israel hath become to me, dross, They all are copper and tin and iron and lead in the midst of a furnace, The dross of silver, have they become.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:19 @ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because ye all are become dross, Therefore, behold me! gathering you into the midst of Jerusalem:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:20 @ As they gather silver and copper and iron and lead and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow upon it the fire to melt it, So will I gather in mine anger and in mine indignation, and will let b. and will melt you;

rotherham@Ezekiel:22:23 @ And the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:24 @ Son of man, say to her. Thou, art a land, that is not to be rained upon, nor to receive fruitful showers, in the day of indignation.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:25 @ Because her princes in her midst are like a roaring lion rending prey, Life, have they devoured Wealth and precious things, have they been wont to take, Her widows, have they multiplied in her midst.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:26 @ Her priests have done violence to my law And have profaned my holy things, Between the hallowed and the common, have they put no difference, And between the unclean and clean, have they not taught men to discern,- And from my sabbaths, have they hid their eyes, So that I have been profaned in their midst.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:27 @ Her rulers within her have been like wolves, rending prey,- In shedding blood In destroying lives, For the sake of getting dishonest gain.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:28 @ And her prophets have coated it for them with whitewash, Seeing visions of falsehood And divining for them lies, Saying, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh, hath not spoken.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:29 @ The people of the land have exacted oppression, and seized plunder,- Even the afflicted and the needy, have they maltreated, And the sojourner have they oppressed without justice.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:30 @ Then sought I from among them, a man Who could bud up a wall And stand in the breach before me in behalf of the land So that I might not destroy her, But I found none.
rotherham@Ezekiel:22:31 @ Therefore have I poured out upon them mine indignation, In the fire of mine outburst, have I consumed them, Their way, upon their own head, have I placed Declareth, My Lord Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:1 @ And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying,
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:2 @ Son of man, Two women, daughters of one mother, there were;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:3 @ And they became unchaste in Egypt, In their youth, became they unchaste, There, were handled their breasts, And there, were pressed their virgin bosoms.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:4 @ And their names were Oholah the elder And Oholibahher sister, And they became mine and hare sons and daughters,- And as for their names, Samaria was Oholah, And Jerusalem, was Oholibah.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:5 @ Then became Oholah unchaste after she had become mine- And lusted after her lovers, For Assyrians, so warlike,
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:6 @ Clothed in blue Governors and deputies, Attractive young men all of them,-Horsemen riding on horses.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:7 @ So sire bestowed her unchastities upon them, The choicest men of Assyria all of them,- And with whomsoever she lusted after-with all their manufactured gods:, she defiled herself.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:8 @ And her unchaste doings from the time she was in Egypt:, trod she not forsaken, For with her, had they lain in her youth, Yea They had pressed her virgin bosoms,- and had poured out their unchastity upon her.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:9 @ therefore, did I deliver her into the hand of her lovers,- into the hand of the sons of Assyria, after whom she lusted:
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:10 @ They disclosed her shame, Her sons and her daughters:, took they away, And herselfwith the sword, they slew, Thus became she a by-word among women, when judgments, they had executed upon her.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:11 @ And though her sister Oholibah saw, Yet became she more corrupt in her lust tan the other,- And her unchaste doings exceeded the unchaste doings of her sister.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:12 @ After the sons of Assyria:, she lusted Governors and deputies so warlike. Clothed in splendid array, Horsemen, riding on horses, Attractive young men, all of them.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:13 @ So I saw that she defiled herself, One way, had they both.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:14 @ Yet did she add, unto her unchaste doings, when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, likenesses of Chaldeans, Portrayed with vermilion:
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:15 @ Girded with waistcloths upon their loins With overhanging high turbans upon their heads, In appearance, knights all of theme-The likeness of the sons of Babylon of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:16 @ Then lusted she after them, as soon as her eyes beheld them, And she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:17 @ Then came in unto her the sons of Babylon into the bed of endearments, and defiled her with their unchaste doings,- And she defiled herself with them, And then was her soul torn from them.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:18 @ Thus disclosed she her unchaste desires, And disclosed her shame,- So my soul was torn from her, Just as my soul had been torn from her sister.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:19 @ Yea she multiplied her unchaste desires,-calling to mind the days of her youth, when she was unchaste in the land of Egypt; -
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:20 @ So she lusted after their courtiers,- Whose flesh was the flesh of asses, and Whose issue was the issue of horses.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:21 @ Yea thou didst look about for the lewdness of thy youth,- When were pressed by the Egyptians. thy bosoms, When they handled thy youthful breasts.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:22 @ Therefore, O Oholibah, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! musing up thy lovers against thee, Even them from whom thy soul hath been torn,- And I will bring them against thee from every side:
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:23 @ The sons of Babylon and all Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa, All the sons of Assyria with them, Attractive young men Governors and deputies, all of them. Knights and men of renown, Riders on horses all of them;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:24 @ And they shall come upon thee With battle-axe, chariot and wheel And with a gathered host of peoples,: Shield and buckler and helmet, will they array against thee on every side,- And I will put before them judgment, And they shall judge thee with their judgments;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:25 @ When I set forth my jealousy against thee, Then will they deal with thee in indignation,: Thy nose and thine ears, will they remove, And that which is left of thee, by the sword, shall fall, They, will take away thy sons and thy daughters, And that which is left of thee, shall be devoured by the fire;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:26 @ And they shall strip off thy raiment,- And take away thine adorning jewels!
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:27 @ Thus will I cause thy lewdness to cease, from thee Even thine unchastity brought from the land of Egypt,- So that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt, shalt thou not call to mind any more.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:28 @ For thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Behold me! delivering thee up, into the hand of them whom thou hatest, Into the hand of them from whom thy soul hath been torn;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:29 @ And they shall deal with thee in hatred And take away all thy labour, And leave thee utterly naked,- And thine unchaste shame, shall be disclosed I, with thy lewdness and unchastities,
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:30 @ These things shall be done to thee, In that thou hast gone unchastely after the nations, Because thou hast defiled thyself with their manufactured gods.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:31 @ In the way of thy sister, hast thou walked, Therefore will I put her cup into thy hand.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:32 @ Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, The cup of thy sister, shalt thou drink, The cup deep and large, Thou shalt become a laughingstock and a derision, much doth it contain!
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:33 @ With drunkenness and grief, shalt thou be fled,- The cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria;
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:34 @ Yea thou shalt drink it and drain it out And the sherds thereof, shalt thou gnaw And thy breasts, shalt thou tear out,- For, I, have spoken, Declareth My Lord. Yahweh.
rotherham@Ezekiel:23:35 @ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because thou hast forgotten me, and has cast me behind thy back, Thou also thyself, bear thou thy lewdness and thine unchaste doings.

rotherham@Ezekiel:23:39 @ Yea when they had slaughtered their children to their manufactured gods, then entered they into my sanctuary, on the same day, to profane it,- And lo! thus have they done in the midst of mine own house.

rotherham@Ezekiel:23:44 @ Yet came they in unto her, as men go in unto a woman that is a harlot, So, came they in unto Oholah, and unto Oholibahthe lewd women!
