6
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I
have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
7
And I will set my face
against them; they shall go out from
one
fire, and
another
fire shall devour them; and ye shall know
that I
am
the L
ORD
, when I set my face against them.
8
And I will make the land desolate, because
they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
CHAPTER 16
Again the word of the L
ORD
came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her
abominations,
3
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
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
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
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 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
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
Then washed I thee with
water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
10
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 decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon
thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
12
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears,
and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
13
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 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
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
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
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
And tookest thy broidered garments,
and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
19
My meat also
