thee. 9 Jehovah{H3068} will establish{H6965} thee for a holy{H6918} people{H5971} unto himself, as he hath sworn{H7650} unto thee; if thou shalt keep{H8104} the commandments{H4687} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} and walk{H1980} in his ways.{H1870} 10 And all the peoples{H5971} of the earth{H776} shall see{H7200} that thou art called{H7121} by the name{H8034} of Jehovah;{H3068} and they shall be

fruit{H6529} of thy ground,{H127} in the land{H127} which Jehovah{H3068} sware{H7650} unto thy fathers{H1} to give{H5414} thee. 12 Jehovah{H3068} will open{H6605} unto thee his good{H2896} treasure{H214} the heavens,{H8064} to give{H5414} the rain{H4306} of thy land{H776} in its season,{H6256} and to bless{H1288} all the work{H4639} of thy hand:{H3027} and thou shalt lend{H3867} unto

other{H312} gods{H430} to serve{H5647} them. 15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken{H8085} unto the voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} to observe{H8104} to do{H6213} all his commandments{H4687} and his statutes{H2708} which I command{H6680} thee this day,{H3117} that all these curses{H7045} shall come{H935} upon thee, and overtake{H5381} thee. 16 Cursed{H779} shalt thou be in the city,{H5892} and cursed{H779} shalt thou be in the field.{H7704} 17 Cursed{H779} shall be thy basket{H2935} and thy kneading-trough.{H4863} 18 Cursed{H779} shall be the fruit{H6529} of thy body,{H990} and the fruit{H6529} of thy ground,{H127} the increase{H7698} of thy cattle,{H504} and the young{H6251} of thy flock.{H6629} 19 Cursed{H779} shalt thou be when thou comest in,{H935} and cursed{H779} shalt thou be when thou goest out.{H3318} 20 Jehovah{H3068} will send{H7971} upon thee cursing,{H3994} discomfiture,{H4103} and rebuke,{H4045} in all that thou puttest{H4916} thy hand{H3027} unto to do,{H6213} until thou be destroyed,{H8045} and until thou perish{H6} quickly;{H4118} because{H6440} of the evil{H7455} of thy doings,{H4611} whereby thou hast forsaken{H5800} me. 21 Jehovah{H3068} will make the pestilence{H1698} cleave{H1692} unto thee, until he have consumed{H3615} thee from off the land,{H127} whither thou goest{H935} in to possess{H3423} it. 22 Jehovah{H3068} will smite{H5221} thee with consumption,{H7829} and with fever,{H6920} and with inflammation,{H1816} and with fiery heat,{H2746} and with the sword,{H2719} and with blasting,{H7711} and with mildew;{H3420} and they shall pursue{H7291} thee until thou perish.{H6} 23 And thy heaven{H8064} that is over thy head{H7218} shall be brass,{H5178} and the earth{H776} that is under thee shall be iron.{H1270} 24 Jehovah{H3068} will make{H5414} the rain{H4306} of thy land{H776} powder{H80} and dust:{H6083} from heaven{H8064} shall it come down{H3381} upon thee, until thou be destroyed.{H8045} 25 Jehovah{H3068} will cause{H5414} thee to be smitten{H5062} before{H6440} thine enemies;{H341} thou shalt go out{H3318} one{H259} way{H1870} against them, and shalt flee{H5127} seven{H7651} ways{H1870} before{H6440} them: and thou shalt be tossed{H2189} to and from among all the kingdoms{H4467} of the earth.{H776} 26 And thy dead body{H5038} shall be food{H3978} unto all birds{H5775} of the heavens,{H8064} and unto the beasts{H929} of the earth;{H776} and there shall be none to frighten them away.{H2729} 27 Jehovah{H3068} will smite{H5221} thee with the boil{H7822} of Egypt,{H4714} and with the emerods,{H2914} and with the scurvy,{H1618} and with the itch,{H2775} whereof thou canst{H3201} not be healed.{H7495} 28 Jehovah{H3068} will smite{H5221} thee with madness,{H7697} and with blindness,{H5788} and with astonishment{H8541} of heart;{H3824} 29 and thou shalt grope{H4959} at noonday,{H6672} as the blind{H5787} gropeth{H4959} in darkness,{H653} and thou shalt not prosper{H6743} in thy ways:{H1870} and thou shalt be only oppressed{H6231} and robbed{H1497} alway,{H3117} and there shall be none to save{H3467} thee. 30 Thou shalt betroth{H781} a wife,{H802} and another{H312} man{H376} shall lie{H7901} with her: thou shalt build{H1129} a house,{H1004} and thou shalt not dwell{H3427} therein: thou shalt plant{H5193} a vineyard,{H3754} and shalt not use the fruit{H2490} thereof. 31 Thine ox{H7794} shall be slain{H2873} before thine eyes,{H5869} and thou shalt not eat{H398} thereof: thine ass{H2543} shall be violently taken away{H1497} from before thy face,{H6440} and shall not be restored{H7725} to thee: thy sheep{H6629} shall be given{H5414} unto thine enemies,{H341} and thou shalt have none to save{H3467} thee. 32 Thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters{H1323} shall be given{H5414} unto another{H312} people;{H5971} and thine eyes{H5869} shall look,{H7200} and fail{H3616} with longing for them all the day:{H3117} and there shall be nought in the power{H410} of thy hand.{H3027} 33 The fruit{H6529} of thy ground,{H127} and all thy labors,{H3018} shall a nation{H5971} which thou knowest{H3045} not eat up;{H398} and thou shalt be only oppressed{H6231} and crushed{H7533} alway;{H3117} 34 so that thou shalt be mad{H7696} for the sight{H4758} of thine eyes{H5869} which thou shalt see.{H7200} 35 Jehovah{H3068} will smite{H5221} thee in the knees,{H1290} and in the legs,{H7785} with a sore{H7451} boil,{H7822} whereof thou canst not{H3201} be healed,{H7495} from the sole{H3709} of thy foot{H7272} unto the crown of thy head.{H6936} 36 Jehovah{H3068} will bring{H3212} thee, and thy king{H4428} whom thou shalt set{H6965} over thee, unto a nation{H1471} that thou hast not known,{H3045} thou nor thy fathers;{H1} and there shalt thou serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} wood{H6086} and stone.{H68} 37 And thou shalt become an astonishment,{H8047} a proverb,{H4912} and a byword,{H8148} among all the peoples{H5971} whither Jehovah{H3068} shall lead{H5090} thee away. 38 Thou shalt carry{H3318} much{H7227} seed{H2233} out{H3318} into the field,{H7704} and shalt gather{H622} little{H4592} in;{H622} for the locust{H697} shall consume{H2628} it. 39 Thou shalt plant{H5193} vineyards{H3754} and dress{H5647} them, but thou shalt neither drink{H8354} of the wine,{H3196} nor gather{H103} [the grapes]; for the worm{H8438} shall eat{H398} them. 40 Thou shalt have olive-trees{H2132} throughout all thy borders,{H1366} but thou shalt not anoint{H5480} thyself with the oil;{H8081} for thine olive{H2132} shall cast{H5394} [its fruit]. 41 Thou shalt beget{H3205} sons{H1121} and daughters,{H1323} but they shall not be thine; for they shall go{H3212} into captivity.{H7628} 42 All thy trees{H6086} and the fruit{H6529} of thy ground{H127} shall the locust{H6767} possess.{H3423} 43 The sojourner{H1616} that is in the midst{H7130} of thee shall mount up{H5927} above thee higher{H4605} and higher;{H4605} and thou shalt come down{H3381} lower{H4295} and lower.{H4295} 44 He shall lend{H3867} to thee, and thou shalt not lend{H3867} to him: he shall be the head,{H7218} and thou shalt be the tail.{H2180} 45 And all these curses{H7045} shall come{H935} upon thee, and shall pursue{H7291} thee, and overtake{H5381} thee, till thou be destroyed;{H8045} because thou hearkenedst{H8085} not unto the voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} to keep{H8104} his commandments{H4687} and his statutes{H2708} which he commanded{H6680} thee: 46 and they shall be upon thee for a sign{H226} and for a wonder,{H4159} and upon thy seed{H2233} for{H5704} ever.{H5769} 47 Because thou servedst{H5647} not Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} with joyfulness,{H8057} and with gladness{H2898} of heart,{H3824} by reason of the abundance{H7230} of all things; 48 therefore shalt thou serve{H5647} thine enemies{H341} that Jehovah{H3068} shall send{H7971} against thee, in hunger,{H7458} and in thirst,{H6772} and in nakedness,{H5903} and in want{H2640} of all things: and he shall put{H5414} a yoke{H5923} of iron{H1270} upon thy neck,{H6677} until he have destroyed{H8045} thee. 49 Jehovah{H3068} will bring{H5375} a nation{H1471} against thee from far,{H7350} from the end{H7097} of the earth,{H776} as the eagle{H5404} flieth;{H1675} a nation{H1471} whose tongue{H3956} thou shalt not understand;{H8085} 50 a nation{H1471} of fierce{H5794} countenance,{H6440} that shall not regard{H5375} the person{H6440} of the old,{H2205} nor show favor{H2603} to the young,{H5288} 51 and shall eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} of thy cattle,{H929} and the fruit{H6529} of thy ground,{H127} until thou be destroyed;{H8045} that also shall not leave{H7604} thee grain,{H1715} new wine,{H8492} or oil,{H3323} the increase{H7698} of thy cattle,{H504} or the young{H6251} of thy flock,{H6629} until they have caused thee to perish.{H6} 52 And they shall besiege{H6887} thee in all thy gates,{H8179} until thy high{H1364} and fortified{H1219} walls{H2346} come down,{H3381} wherein{H2004} thou trustedst,{H982} throughout all thy land;{H776} and they shall besiege{H6887} thee in all thy gates{H8179} throughout all thy land,{H776} which Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath given{H5414} thee. 53 And thou shalt eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} of thine own body,{H990} the flesh{H1320} of thy sons{H1121} and of thy daughters,{H1323} whom Jehovah{H3068} thy God{H430} hath given{H5414} thee, in the siege{H4692} and in the distress{H4689} wherewith thine enemies{H341} shall distress{H6693} thee. 54 The man{H376} that is tender{H7390} among you, and very{H3966} delicate,{H6028} his eye{H5869} shall be evil{H3415} toward his brother,{H251} and toward the wife{H802} of his bosom,{H2436} and toward the remnant{H3499} of his children{H1121} whom he hath remaining;{H3498} 55 so that he will not give{H5414} to any{H259} of them of the flesh{H1320} of his children{H1121} whom he shall eat,{H398} because he hath nothing left{H7604} him, in the siege{H4692} and in the distress{H4689} wherewith thine enemy{H341} shall distress{H6693} thee in all thy gates.{H8179} 56 The tender{H7390} and delicate{H6028} woman among you, who would not adventure{H5254} to set{H3322} the sole{H3709} of her foot{H7272} upon the ground{H776} for delicateness{H6026} and tenderness,{H7391} her eye{H5869} shall be evil{H3415} toward the husband{H376} of her bosom,{H2436} and toward her son,{H1121} and toward her daughter,{H1323} 57 and toward her young one{H7988} that cometh out{H3318} from between her feet,{H7272} and toward her children{H1121} whom she shall bear;{H3205} for she shall eat{H398} them for want{H2640} of all things secretly,{H5643} in the siege{H4692} and in the distress{H6693} wherewith thine enemy{H341} shall distress{H6693} thee in thy gates.{H8179} 58 If thou wilt not observe{H8104} to do{H6213} all the words{H1697} of this law{H8451} that are written{H3789} in this book,{H5612} that thou mayest fear{H3372} this glorious{H3513} and fearful{H3372} name,{H8034} JEHOVAH{H3068} THY GOD;{H430} 59 then Jehovah{H3068} will make{H6381} thy plagues{H4347} wonderful,{H6381} and the plagues{H4347} of thy seed,{H2233} even great{H1419} plagues,{H4347} and of long continuance,{H539} and sore{H7451} sicknesses,{H2483} and of long continuance.{H539} 60 And he will bring{H7725} upon thee again all the diseases{H4064} of Egypt,{H4714} which thou wast afraid{H3025} of;{H6440} and they shall cleave{H1692} unto thee. 61 Also every sickness,{H2483} and every plague,{H4347} which is not written{H3789} in the book{H5612} of this law,{H8451} them will Jehovah{H3068} bring{H5927} upon thee, until thou be destroyed.{H8045} 62 And ye shall be left{H7604} few{H4592} in number,{H4962} whereas{H834} ye were as the stars{H3556} of heaven{H8064} for multitude;{H7230} because thou didst not hearken{H8085} unto the voice{H6963} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God.{H430} 63 And it shall come to pass, that, as Jehovah{H3068} rejoiced{H7797} over you to do you good,{H3190} and to multiply{H7235} you, so Jehovah{H3068} will rejoice{H7797} over you to cause you to perish,{H6} and to destroy{H6} you; and ye shall be plucked{H5255} from off the land{H127} whither thou goest{H935} in to possess{H3423} it. 64 And Jehovah{H3068} will scatter{H6327} thee among all peoples,{H5971} from the one end{H7097} of the earth{H776} even unto the other{H7097} end of the earth; and there thou shalt serve{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} which thou hast not known,{H3045} thou nor thy fathers,{H1} even wood{H6086} and stone.{H68} 65 And among these{H1992} nations{H1471} shalt thou find no ease,{H7280} and there shall be no rest{H4494} for the sole{H3709} of thy foot:{H7272} but Jehovah{H3068} will give{H5414} thee there a trembling{H7268} heart,{H3820} and failing{H3631} of eyes,{H5869} and pining{H1671} of soul;{H5315} 66 and thy life{H2416} shall hang{H8511} in doubt before{H5048} thee; and thou shalt fear{H6342} night{H3915} and day,{H3119} and shalt have no assurance{H539} of thy life.{H2416} 67 In the morning{H1242} thou shalt say,{H559} Would it were{H5414} even!{H6153} and at even{H6153} thou shalt say,{H559} Would it were{H5414} morning!{H1242} for the fear{H6343} of thy heart{H3824} which thou shalt fear,{H6343} and for the sight{H4758} of thine eyes{H4758} which thou shalt see.{H7200} 68 And Jehovah{H3068} will bring{H7725} thee into Egypt{H4714} again{H7725} with ships,{H591} by the way{H1870} whereof I said{H559} unto thee, Thou shalt see{H7200} it no more again:{H3254} and there ye shall sell{H4376} yourselves unto your enemies{H341} for bondmen{H5650} and for bondwomen,{H8198} and no man shall buy{H7069} you.
Deut 29:18-28 : 18 lest there should be{H3426} among you man,{H376} or woman,{H802} or family,{H4940} or tribe,{H7626} whose heart{H3824} turneth away{H6437} this day{H3117} from Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} to go{H3212} to serve{H5647} the gods{H430} of those nations;{H1471} lest there should be{H3426} among you a root{H8328} that beareth{H6509} gall{H7219} and wormwood;{H3939} 19 and it come to pass, when he heareth{H8085} the words{H1697} of this curse,{H423} that he bless{H1288} himself in his heart,{H3824} saying,{H559} I shall have peace,{H7965} though{H3588} I walk{H3212} in the stubbornness{H8307} of my heart,{H3820} to destroy{H5595} the moist{H7302} with the dry.{H6771} 20 Jehovah{H3068} will{H14} not pardon{H5545} him, but then the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} and his jealousy{H7068} will smoke{H6225} against that man,{H376} and all the curse{H423} that is written{H3789} in this book{H5612} shall lie{H7257} upon him, and Jehovah{H3068} will blot out{H4229} his name{H8034} from under heaven.{H8064} 21 And Jehovah{H3068} will set him apart{H914} unto evil{H7451} out of all the tribes{H7626} of Israel,{H3478} according to all the curses{H423} of the covenant{H1285} that is written{H3789} in this book{H5612} of the law.{H8451} 22 And the generation{H1755} to come,{H314} your children{H1121} that shall rise up{H6965} after{H310} you, and the foreigner{H5237} that shall come{H935} from a far{H7350} land,{H776} shall say,{H559} when they see{H7200} the plagues{H4347} of that land,{H776} and the sicknesses{H8463} wherewith Jehovah{H3068} hath made{H2470} it sick; 23 [ and that] the whole land{H776} thereof is brimstone,{H1614} and salt,{H4417} [and] a burning,{H8316} [that] it is not sown,{H2232} nor beareth,{H6779} nor any grass{H6212} groweth{H5927} therein, like the overthrow{H4114} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah,{H6017} Admah{H126} and Zeboiim,{H6636} which Jehovah{H3068} overthrew{H2015} in his anger,{H639} and in his wrath:{H2534} 24 even all the nations{H1471} shall say,{H559} Wherefore hath Jehovah{H3068} done{H6213} thus unto this land?{H776} what meaneth the heat{H2750} of this great{H1419} anger?{H639} 25 Then men shall say,{H559} Because they forsook the covenant{H1285} of Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} which he made{H3772} with them when he brought them forth{H3318} out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} 26 and went{H3212} and served{H5647} other{H312} gods,{H430} and worshipped{H7812} them, gods{H430} that they knew{H3045} not, and that he had not given{H2505} unto them: 27 therefore the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against this land,{H776} to bring{H935} upon it all the curse{H7045} that is written{H3789} in this book;{H5612} 28 and Jehovah{H3068} rooted{H5428} them out of their land{H127} in anger,{H639} and in wrath,{H2534} and in great{H1419} indignation,{H7110} and cast{H7993} them into another{H312} land,{H776} as at this day.{H3117}
Deut 4:6-8 : 6 Keep{H8104} therefore and do{H6213} them; for this is your wisdom{H2451} and your understanding{H998} in the sight{H5869} of the peoples,{H5971} that shall hear{H8085} all these statutes,{H2706} and say,{H559} Surely this great{H1419} nation{H1471} is a wise{H2450} and understanding{H995} people.{H5971} 7 For what great{H1419} nation{H1471} is there, that hath a god{H430} so nigh{H7138} unto them, as Jehovah{H3068} our God{H430} is whensoever we call{H7121} upon him? 8 And what great{H1419} nation{H1471} is there, that hath statutes{H2706} and ordinances{H4941} so righteous{H6662} as all this law,{H8451} which I set{H5414} before{H6440} you this day?{H3117}
Hos 13:1 : 1 When Ephraim{H669} spake,{H1696} there was trembling;{H7578} he exalted{H5375} himself in Israel;{H3478} but when he offended{H816} in Baal,{H1168} he died.{H4191}
Judg 2:6-9 : 6 Now when Joshua{H3091} had sent the people{H5971} away,{H7971} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} went{H3212} every man{H376} unto his inheritance{H5159} to possess{H3423} the land.{H776} 7 And the people{H5971} served{H5647} Jehovah{H3068} all the days{H3117} of Joshua,{H3091} and all the days{H3117} of the elders{H2205} that outlived{H3117} Joshua,{H3091} who had seen{H7200} all the great{H1419} work{H4639} of Jehovah{H3068} that he had wrought{H6213} for Israel.{H3478} 8 And Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun,{H5126} the servant{H5650} of Jehovah,{H3068} died,{H4191} being a hundred{H3967} and ten{H6235} years{H8141} old.{H1121} 9 And they buried{H6912} him in the border{H1366} of his inheritance{H5159} in Timnath-heres,{H8556} in the hill-country{H2022} of Ephraim,{H669} on the north of the mountain{H2022} of Gaash.{H1608} 10 And also all that generation{H1755} were gathered{H622} unto their fathers:{H1} and there arose{H6965} another{H312} generation{H1755} after{H310} them, that knew{H3045} not Jehovah,{H3068} nor yet the work{H4639} which he had wrought{H6213} for Israel.{H3478} 11 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did{H6213} that which was evil{H7451} in the sight{H5869} of Jehovah,{H3068} and served{H5647} the Baalim;{H1168} 12 and they forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers,{H1} who brought them out{H3318} of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} and followed{H3212} other{H312} gods,{H430} of the gods{H430} of the peoples{H5971} that were round about{H5439} them, and bowed{H7812} themselves down unto them: and they provoked Jehovah{H3068} to anger.{H3707} 13 And they forsook{H5800} Jehovah,{H3068} and served{H5647} Baal{H1168} and the Ashtaroth.{H6252} 14 And the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against Israel,{H3478} and he delivered{H5414} them into the hands{H3027} of spoilers{H8154} that despoiled{H8155} them; and he sold{H4376} them into the hands{H3027} of their enemies{H341} round about,{H5439} so that they could{H3201} not any longer{H5750} stand{H5975} before{H6440} their enemies.{H341}
Jer 2:2-9 : 2 Go,{H1980} and cry{H7121} in the ears{H241} of Jerusalem,{H3389} saying,{H559} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} I remember{H2142} for thee the kindness{H2617} of thy youth,{H5271} the love{H160} of thine espousals;{H3623} how thou wentest{H3212} after{H310} me in the wilderness,{H4057} in a land{H776} that was not sown.{H2232} 3 Israel{H3478} [was] holiness{H6944} unto Jehovah,{H3068} the first-fruits{H7225} of his increase:{H8393} all that devour{H398} him shall be held guilty;{H816} evil{H7451} shall come{H935} upon them, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} 4 Hear{H8085} ye the word{H1697} of Jehovah,{H3068} O house{H1004} of Jacob,{H3290} and all the families{H4940} of the house{H1004} of Israel:{H3478} 5 thus saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} What unrighteousness{H5766} have your fathers{H1} found{H4672} in me, that they are gone far{H7368} from me, and have walked{H3212} after{H310} vanity,{H1892} and are become vain?{H1891} 6 Neither said{H559} they, Where is Jehovah{H3068} that brought us up{H5927} out of the land{H776} of Egypt,{H4714} that led{H3212} us through the wilderness,{H4057} through a land{H776} of deserts{H6160} and of pits,{H7745} through a land{H776} of drought{H6723} and of the shadow of death,{H6757} through a land{H776} that none{H376} passed through,{H5674} and where no man{H376} dwelt?{H3427} 7 And I brought{H935} you into a plentiful{H3759} land,{H776} to eat{H398} the fruit{H6529} thereof and the goodness{H2898} thereof; but when ye entered,{H935} ye defiled{H2930} my land,{H776} and made{H7760} my heritage{H5159} an abomination.{H8441} 8 The priests{H3548} said{H559} not, Where is Jehovah?{H3068} and they that handle{H8610} the law{H8451} knew{H3045} me not: the rulers{H7462} also transgressed{H6586} against me, and the prophets{H5030} prophesied{H5012} by Baal,{H1168} and walked{H1980} after{H310} things that do not profit.{H3276} 9 Wherefore I will yet contend{H7378} with you, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} and with your children's{H1121} children{H1121} will I contend.{H7378} 10 For pass over{H5674} to the isles{H339} of Kittim,{H3794} and see;{H7200} and send{H7971} unto Kedar,{H6938} and consider{H995} diligently;{H3966} and see{H7200} if there hath been such a thing. 11 Hath a nation{H1471} changed{H3235} [its] gods,{H430} which yet are no gods?{H430} but my people{H5971} have changed{H4171} their glory{H3519} for that which doth not profit.{H3276} 12 Be astonished,{H8074} O ye heavens,{H8064} at this, and be horribly afraid,{H8175} be ye very{H3966} desolate,{H2717} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} 13 For my people{H5971} have committed{H6213} two{H8147} evils:{H7451} they have forsaken{H5800} me, the fountain{H4726} of living{H2416} waters,{H4325} and hewed them out{H2672} cisterns,{H877} broken{H7665} cisterns,{H877} that can hold{H3557} no water.{H4325} 14 Is Israel{H3478} a servant?{H5650} is he a home-born{H1004} [slave]? why{H4069} is he become a prey?{H957} 15 The young lions{H3715} have roared{H7580} upon him, and yelled;{H5414} and they have made{H7896} his land{H776} waste:{H8047} his cities{H5892} are burned{H3341} up, without inhabitant.{H3427} 16 The children{H1121} also of Memphis{H5297} and Tahpanhes{H8471} have broken{H7462} the crown of thy head.{H6936} 17 Hast thou not procured{H6213} this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken{H5800} Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} when{H6256} he led{H3212} thee by the way?{H1870} 18 And now what hast thou to do in the way{H1870} to Egypt,{H4714} to drink{H8354} the waters{H4325} of the Shihor?{H7883} or what hast thou to do in the way{H1870} to Assyria,{H804} to drink{H8354} the waters{H4325} of the River?{H5104} 19 Thine own wickedness{H7451} shall correct{H3256} thee, and thy backslidings{H4878} shall reprove{H3198} thee: know{H3045} therefore and see{H7200} that it is an evil{H7451} thing and a bitter,{H4751} that thou hast forsaken{H5800} Jehovah{H3068} thy God,{H430} and that my fear{H6345} is not in thee, saith{H5002} the Lord,{H136} Jehovah{H3069} of hosts.{H6635} 20 For of old time{H5769} I have broken{H7665} thy yoke,{H5923} and burst{H5423} thy bonds;{H4147} and thou saidst,{H559} I will not serve;{H5674} for upon every high{H1364} hill{H1389} and under every green{H7488} tree{H6086} thou didst bow thyself,{H6808} playing the harlot.{H2181} 21 Yet I had planted{H5193} thee a noble vine,{H8321} wholly a right{H571} seed:{H2233} how then art thou turned{H2015} into the degenerate branches{H5494} of a foreign{H5237} vine{H1612} unto me? 22 For though thou wash{H3526} thee with lye,{H5427} and take thee much{H7235} soap,{H1287} yet thine iniquity{H5771} is marked{H3799} before{H6440} me, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069} 23 How canst thou say,{H559} I am not defiled,{H2930} I have not gone{H1980} after{H310} the Baalim?{H1168} see{H7200} thy way{H1870} in the valley,{H1516} know{H3045} what thou hast done:{H6213} thou art a swift{H7031} dromedary{H1072} traversing{H8308} her ways;{H1870} 24 a wild ass{H6501} used{H3928} to the wilderness,{H4057} that snuffeth up{H7602} the wind{H7307} in her desire;{H185} in her occasion{H8385} who can turn her away?{H7725} all they that seek{H1245} her will not weary{H3286} themselves; in her month{H2320} they shall find{H4672} her. 25 Withhold{H4513} thy foot{H7272} from being unshod,{H3182} and thy throat{H1627} from thirst:{H6773} but thou saidst,{H559} It is in vain;{H2976} no, for I have loved{H157} strangers,{H2114} and after{H310} them will I go.{H3212}
Ezek 16:1-9 : 1 Again the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559} 2 Son{H1121} of man,{H120} cause Jerusalem{H3389} to know{H3045} her abominations;{H8441} 3 and say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H136} unto Jerusalem:{H3389} Thy birth{H4351} and thy nativity{H4138} is of the land{H776} of the Canaanite;{H3669} the Amorite{H567} was thy father,{H1} and thy mother{H517} was a Hittite.{H2850} 4 And as for thy nativity,{H4138} in the day{H3117} thou wast born{H3205} thy navel{H8270} was not cut,{H3772} neither wast thou washed{H7364} in water{H4325} to cleanse{H4935} thee; thou wast not salted{H4414} at all,{H4414} nor swaddled{H2853} at all.{H2853} 5 No eye{H5869} pitied{H2347} thee, to do{H6213} any{H259} of these things unto thee, to have compassion{H2550} upon thee; but thou wast cast out{H7993} in the open{H6440} field,{H7704} for that thy person{H5315} was abhorred,{H1604} in the day{H3117} that thou wast born.{H3205} 6 And when I passed{H5674} by thee, and saw{H7200} thee weltering{H947} in thy blood,{H1818} I said{H559} unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood,{H1818} live;{H2421} yea, I said{H559} unto thee, [Though thou art] in thy blood,{H1818} live.{H2421} 7 I caused{H5414} thee to multiply{H7233} as that which groweth{H6780} in the field,{H7704} and thou didst increase{H7235} and wax great,{H1431} and thou attainedst{H935} to excellent{H5716} ornament;{H5716} thy breasts{H7699} were fashioned,{H3559} and thy hair{H8181} was grown;{H6779} yet thou wast naked{H5903} and bare.{H6181} 8 Now when I passed{H5674} by thee, and looked{H7200} upon thee, behold, thy time{H6256} was the time{H6256} of love;{H1730} and I spread{H6566} my skirt{H3671} over thee, and covered{H3680} thy nakedness:{H6172} yea, I sware{H7650} unto thee, and entered{H935} into a covenant{H1285} with thee, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} and thou becamest mine. 9 Then washed{H7364} I thee with water;{H4325} yea, I thoroughly washed away{H7857} thy blood{H1818} from thee, and I anointed{H5480} thee with oil.{H8081} 10 I clothed{H3847} thee also with broidered work,{H7553} and shod{H5274} thee with sealskin,{H8476} and I girded{H2280} thee about with fine linen,{H8336} and covered{H3680} thee with silk.{H4897} 11 And I decked{H5710} thee with ornaments,{H5716} and I put{H5414} bracelets{H6781} upon thy hands,{H3027} and a chain{H7242} on thy neck.{H1627} 12 And I put{H5414} a ring{H5141} upon thy nose,{H639} and ear-rings{H5694} in thine ears,{H241} and a beautiful{H8597} crown{H5850} upon thy head.{H7218} 13 Thus wast thou decked{H5710} with gold{H2091} and silver;{H3701} and thy raiment{H4403} was of fine linen,{H8336} and silk,{H4897} and broidered work;{H7553} thou didst eat{H398} fine flour,{H5560} and honey,{H1706} and oil;{H8081} and thou wast exceeding{H3966} beautiful,{H3302} and thou didst prosper{H6743} unto royal estate.{H4410} 14 And thy renown{H8034} went forth{H3318} among the nations{H1471} for thy beauty;{H3308} for it was perfect,{H3632} through my majesty{H1926} which I had put{H7760} upon thee, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069} 15 But thou didst trust{H982} in thy beauty,{H3308} and playedst the harlot{H2181} because of thy renown,{H8034} and pouredst out{H8210} thy whoredoms{H8457} on every one that passed by;{H5674} his it was. 16 And thou didst take{H3947} of thy garments,{H899} and madest for thee high places{H1116} decked{H6213} with divers colors,{H2921} and playedst the harlot{H2181} upon them: [the like things] shall not come,{H935} neither shall it be [so]. 17 Thou didst also take{H3947} thy fair{H8597} jewels{H3627} of my gold{H2091} and of my silver,{H3701} which I had given{H5414} thee, and madest{H6213} for thee images{H6754} of men,{H2145} and didst play the harlot{H2181} with them; 18 and thou tookest{H3947} thy broidered{H7553} garments,{H899} and coveredst{H3680} them, and didst set{H5414} mine oil{H8081} and mine incense{H7004} before{H6440} them. 19 My bread{H3899} also which I gave{H5414} thee, fine flour,{H5560} and oil,{H8081} and honey,{H1706} wherewith I fed{H398} thee, thou didst even set{H5414} it before{H6440} them for a sweet{H5207} savor;{H7381} and [thus] it was, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069} 20 Moreover thou hast taken{H3947} thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters,{H1323} whom thou hast borne{H3205} unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed{H2076} unto them to be devoured.{H398} Were thy whoredoms{H8457} a small matter,{H4592} 21 that thou hast slain{H7819} my children,{H1121} and delivered{H5414} them up, in causing them to pass through{H5674} [the fire] unto them? 22 And in all thine abominations{H8441} and thy whoredoms{H8457} thou hast not remembered{H2142} the days{H3117} of thy youth,{H5271} when thou wast naked{H5903} and bare,{H6181} and wast weltering{H947} in thy blood.{H1818} 23 And it is come to pass after{H310} all thy wickedness,{H7451} (woe,{H188} woe{H188} unto thee! saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,){H3069} 24 that thou hast built{H1129} unto thee a vaulted place,{H1354} and hast made{H6213} thee a lofty place{H7413} in every street.{H7339} 25 Thou hast built{H1129} thy lofty place{H7413} at the head{H7218} of every way,{H1870} and hast made thy beauty{H3308} an abomination,{H8581} and hast opened{H6589} thy feet{H7272} to every one that passed by,{H5674} and multiplied{H7235} thy whoredom.{H8457} 26 Thou hast also committed fornication{H2181} with the Egyptians,{H1121} thy neighbors,{H7934} great{H1432} of flesh;{H1320} and hast multiplied{H7235} thy whoredom,{H8457} to provoke me to anger.{H3707} 27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out{H5186} my hand{H3027} over thee, and have diminished{H1639} thine ordinary{H2706} [food], and delivered{H5414} thee unto the will{H5315} of them that hate{H8130} thee, the daughters{H1323} of the Philistines,{H6430} that are ashamed{H3637} of thy lewd{H2154} way.{H1870} 28 Thou hast played the harlot{H2181} also with the Assyrians,{H1121} because{H1115} thou wast insatiable;{H7646} yea, thou hast played the harlot{H2181} with them, and yet thou wast not satisfied.{H7654} 29 Thou hast moreover multiplied{H7235} thy whoredom{H8457} unto the land{H776} of traffic,{H3667} unto Chaldea;{H3778} and yet thou wast not satisfied{H7646} herewith.{H2063} 30 How weak{H535} is thy heart,{H3826} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H136} seeing thou doest{H6213} all these things, the work{H4639} of an impudent{H7986} {H802} harlot;{H2181} 31 in that thou buildest{H1129} thy vaulted place{H1354} at the head{H7218} of every way,{H1870} and makest{H6213} thy lofty place{H7413} in every street,{H7339} and hast not been as a harlot,{H2181} in that thou scornest{H7046} hire.{H868} 32 A wife{H802} that committeth adultery!{H5003} that taketh{H3947} strangers{H2114} instead of her husband!{H376} 33 They give{H5414} gifts{H5078} to all harlots;{H2181} but thou givest{H5414} thy gifts{H5083} to all thy lovers,{H157} and bribest{H7809} them, that they may come{H935} unto thee on every side{H5439} for thy whoredoms.{H8457} 34 And thou art different{H2016} from [other] women{H802} in thy whoredoms,{H8457} in that none followeth{H310} thee to play the harlot;{H2181} and whereas thou givest{H5414} hire,{H868} and no hire{H868} is given{H5414} unto thee, therefore thou art{H1961} different.{H2016} 35 Wherefore, O harlot,{H2181} hear{H8085} the word{H1697} of Jehovah:{H3068} 36 Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} Because thy filthiness{H5178} was poured out,{H8210} and thy nakedness{H6172} uncovered{H1540} through thy whoredoms{H8457} with thy lovers;{H157} and because of all the idols{H1544} of thy abominations,{H8441} and for the blood{H1818} of thy children,{H1121} that thou didst give{H5414} unto them; 37 therefore behold, I will gather{H6908} all thy lovers,{H157} with whom thou hast taken pleasure,{H6149} and all them that thou hast loved,{H157} with all them that thou hast hated;{H8130} I will even gather{H6908} them against thee on every side,{H5439} and will uncover{H1540} thy nakedness{H6172} unto them, that they may see{H7200} all thy nakedness.{H6172} 38 And I will judge{H8199} thee, as women that break wedlock{H5003} and shed{H8210} blood{H1818} are judged;{H4941} and I will bring{H5414} upon thee the blood{H1818} of wrath{H2534} and jealousy.{H7068} 39 I will also give{H5414} thee into their hand,{H3027} and they shall throw down{H2040} thy vaulted place,{H1354} and break down{H5422} thy lofty places;{H7413} and they shall strip{H6584} thee of thy clothes,{H899} and take{H3947} thy fair{H8597} jewels;{H3627} and they shall leave{H3240} thee naked{H5903} and bare.{H6181} 40 They shall also bring up{H5927} a company{H6951} against thee, and they shall stone{H7275} thee with stones,{H68} and thrust thee through{H1333} with their swords.{H2719} 41 And they shall burn{H8313} thy houses{H1004} with fire,{H784} and execute{H6213} judgments{H8201} upon thee in the sight{H5869} of many{H7227} women;{H802} and I will cause thee to cease{H7673} from playing the harlot,{H2181} and thou shalt also give{H5414} no hire{H868} any more. 42 So will I cause my wrath{H2534} toward thee to rest,{H5117} and my jealousy{H7068} shall depart{H5493} from thee, and I will be quiet,{H8252} and will be no more angry.{H3707} 43 Because thou hast not remembered{H2142} the days{H3117} of thy youth,{H5271} but hast raged{H7264} against me in all these things; therefore, behold,{H1887} I also will bring{H5414} thy way{H1870} upon thy head,{H7218} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} and thou shalt not commit{H6213} this lewdness{H2154} with all thine abominations.{H8441} 44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs{H4911} shall use [this] proverb{H4911} against thee, saying,{H559} As is the mother,{H517} so is her daughter.{H1323} 45 Thou art the daughter{H1323} of thy mother,{H517} that loatheth{H1602} her husband{H376} and her children;{H1121} and thou art the sister{H269} of thy sisters,{H269} who loathed{H1602} their husbands{H582} and their children:{H1121} your mother{H517} was a Hittite,{H2850} and your father{H1} an Amorite.{H567} 46 And thine elder{H1419} sister{H269} is Samaria,{H8111} that dwelleth{H3427} at thy left hand,{H8040} she and her daughters;{H1323} and thy younger{H6996} sister,{H269} that dwelleth{H3427} at thy right hand,{H3225} is Sodom{H5467} and her daughters.{H1323} 47 Yet hast thou not walked{H1980} in their ways,{H1870} nor done{H6213} after their abominations;{H8441} but, as [if that were] a very{H6985} little{H4592} [thing], thou wast more corrupt{H7843} than they{H2004} in all thy ways.{H1870} 48 As I live,{H2416} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} Sodom{H5467} thy sister{H269} hath not done,{H6213} she nor her daughters,{H1323} as thou hast done,{H6213} thou and thy daughters.{H1323} 49 Behold, this was the iniquity{H5771} of thy sister{H269} Sodom:{H5467} pride,{H1347} fulness{H7653} of bread,{H3899} and prosperous{H7962} ease{H8252} was in her and in her daughters;{H1323} neither did she strengthen{H2388} the hand{H3027} of the poor{H6041} and needy.{H34} 50 And they were haughty,{H1361} and committed{H6213} abomination{H8441} before{H6440} me: therefore I took them away{H5493} as I saw{H7200} [good]. 51 Neither hath Samaria{H8111} committed{H2398} half{H2677} of thy sins;{H2403} but thou hast multiplied{H7235} thine abominations{H8441} more than they,{H2007} and hast justified{H6663} thy sisters{H269} by all thine abominations{H8441} which thou hast done.{H6213} 52 Thou also, bear{H5375} thou thine own shame,{H3639} in that thou hast given judgment{H6419} for thy sisters;{H269} through thy sins{H2403} that thou hast committed more abominable{H8581} than they,{H2004} they are more righteous{H6663} that thou: yea, be thou also confounded,{H954} and bear{H5375} thy shame,{H3639} in that thou hast justified{H6663} thy sisters.{H269} 53 And I will turn again{H7725} their captivity,{H7622} the captivity{H7622} of Sodom{H5467} and her daughters,{H1323} and the captivity{H7622} of Samaria{H8111} and her daughters,{H1323} and the captivity{H7622} of thy captives{H7622} in the midst{H8432} of them; 54 that thou mayest bear{H5375} thine own shame,{H3639} and mayest be ashamed{H3637} because of all that thou hast done,{H6213} in that thou art a comfort{H5162} unto them. 55 And thy sisters,{H269} Sodom{H5467} and her daughters,{H1323} shall return{H7725} to their former estate;{H6927} and Samaria{H8111} and her daughters{H1323} shall return{H7725} to their former estate;{H6927} and thou and thy daughters{H1323} shall return{H7725} to your former estate.{H6927} 56 For thy sister{H269} Sodom{H5467} was not mentioned{H8052} by thy mouth{H6310} in the day{H3117} of thy pride,{H1347} 57 before thy wickedness{H7451} was uncovered,{H1540} as at the time{H6256} of the reproach{H2781} of the daughters{H1323} of Syria,{H758} and of all that are round about{H5439} her, the daughters{H1323} of the Philistines,{H6430} that do despite{H7590} unto thee round about.{H5439} 58 Thou hast borne{H5375} thy lewdness{H2154} and thine abominations,{H8441} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} 59 For thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} I will also deal{H6213} with thee as thou hast done,{H6213} who hast despised{H959} the oath{H423} in breaking{H6565} the covenant.{H1285} 60 Nevertheless I will remember{H2142} my covenant{H1285} with thee in the days{H3117} of thy youth,{H5271} and I will establish{H6965} unto thee an everlasting{H5769} covenant.{H1285} 61 Then shalt thou remember{H2142} thy ways,{H1870} and be ashamed,{H3637} when thou shalt receive{H3947} thy sisters,{H269} thine elder{H1419} [sisters] and thy younger;{H6996} and I will give{H5414} them unto thee for daughters,{H1323} but not by thy covenant.{H1285} 62 And I will establish{H6965} my covenant{H1285} with thee; and thou shalt know{H3045} that I am Jehovah;{H3068} 63 that thou mayest remember,{H2142} and be confounded,{H954} and never open{H6610} thy mouth{H6310} any more, because{H6440} of thy shame,{H3639} when I have forgiven{H3722} thee all that thou hast done,{H6213} saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}
Ezek 22:1-9 : 1 Moreover the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559} 2 And thou, son{H1121} of man,{H120} wilt thou judge,{H8199} wilt thou judge{H8199} the bloody{H1818} city?{H5892} then cause her to know{H3045} all her abominations.{H8441} 3 And thou shalt say,{H559} Thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H136} A city{H5892} that sheddeth{H8210} blood{H1818} in the midst{H8432} of her, that her time{H6256} may come,{H935} and that maketh{H6213} idols{H1544} against herself to defile{H2930} her! 4 Thou art become guilty{H816} in thy blood{H1818} that thou hast shed,{H8210} and art defiled{H2930} in thine idols{H1544} which thou hast made;{H6213} and thou hast caused thy days{H3117} to draw near,{H7126} and art come{H935} even unto thy years:{H8141} therefore have I made{H5414} thee a reproach{H2781} unto the nations,{H1471} and a mocking{H7048} to all the countries.{H776} 5 Those that are near,{H7138} and those that are far{H7350} from thee, shall mock{H7046} thee, thou infamous{H2931} one [and] full{H7227} of tumult.{H4103} 6 Behold, the princes{H5387} of Israel,{H3478} every one{H376} according to his power,{H2220} have been in thee to shed{H8210} blood.{H1818} 7 In thee have they set light{H7043} by father{H1} and mother;{H517} in the midst{H8432} of thee have they dealt{H6213} by oppression{H6233} with the sojourner;{H1616} in thee have they wronged{H3238} the fatherless{H3490} and the widow.{H490} 8 Thou hast despised{H959} my holy things,{H6944} and hast profaned{H2490} my sabbaths.{H7676} 9 Slanderous{H7400} men{H582} have been in thee to shed{H8210} blood;{H1818} and in thee they have eaten{H398} upon the mountains:{H2022} in the midst{H8432} of thee they have committed{H6213} lewdness.{H2154} 10 In thee have they uncovered{H1540} their fathers'{H1} nakedness;{H6172} in thee have they humbled{H6031} her that was unclean{H5079} in her impurity.{H2931} 11 And one{H376} hath committed{H6213} abomination{H8441} with his neighbor's{H7453} wife;{H802} and another{H376} hath lewdly{H2154} defiled{H2930} his daughter-in-law;{H3618} and another{H376} in thee hath humbled{H6031} his sister,{H269} his father's{H1} daughter.{H1323} 12 In thee have they taken{H3947} bribes{H7810} to shed{H8210} blood;{H1818} thou hast taken{H3947} interest{H5392} and increase,{H8636} and thou hast greedily gained{H1214} of thy neighbors{H7453} by oppression,{H6233} and hast forgotten{H7911} me, saith{H5002} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069} 13 Behold, therefore, I have smitten{H5221} my hand{H3709} at thy dishonest gain{H1215} which thou hast made,{H6213} and at thy blood{H1818} which hath been in the midst{H8432} of thee. 14 Can thy heart{H3820} endure,{H5975} or can thy hands{H3027} be strong,{H2388} in the days{H3117} that I shall deal{H6213} with thee? I, Jehovah,{H3068} have spoken{H1696} it, and will do{H6213} it. 15 And I will scatter{H6327} thee among the nations,{H1471} and disperse{H2219} thee through the countries;{H776} and I will consume{H8552} thy filthiness{H2932} out of thee. 16 And thou shalt be profaned{H2490} in thyself, in the sight{H5869} of the nations;{H1471} and thou shalt know{H3045} that I am Jehovah.{H3068} 17 And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559} 18 Son{H1121} of man,{H120} the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} is become dross{H5509} unto me: all of them are brass{H5178} and tin{H913} and iron{H1270} and lead,{H5777} in the midst{H8432} of the furnace;{H3564} they are the dross{H5509} of silver.{H3701} 19 Therefore thus saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah:{H3069} Because ye are all become dross,{H5509} therefore, behold, I will gather{H6908} you into the midst{H8432} of Jerusalem.{H3389} 20 As they gather{H6910} silver{H3701} and brass{H5178} and iron{H1270} and lead{H5777} and tin{H913} into the midst{H8432} of the furnace,{H3564} to blow{H5301} the fire{H784} upon it, to melt{H5413} it; so will I gather{H6908} you in mine anger{H639} and in my wrath,{H2534} and I will lay{H3240} you there, and melt{H5413} you. 21 Yea, I will gather{H3664} you, and blow{H5301} upon you with the fire{H784} of my wrath,{H5678} and ye shall be melted{H5413} in the midst{H8432} thereof. 22 As silver{H3701} is melted{H2046} in the midst{H8432} of the furnace,{H3564} so shall ye be melted{H5413} in the midst{H8432} thereof; and ye shall know{H3045} that I, Jehovah,{H3068} have poured out{H8210} my wrath{H2534} upon you. 23 And the word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} came unto me, saying,{H559}
