which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey,
wherewith
I fed thee, thou hast even set it before
them for a sweet savour: and
thus
it was, saith the Lord GOD.
20
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons
and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be
devoured.
Is this
of thy whoredoms a small matter,
21
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered
them to cause them to pass through
the fire
for them?
22
And in all thine abominations and thy
whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare,
and
wast polluted in thy blood.
23
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee!
saith the Lord GOD;)
24
That
thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee
an high place in every street.
25
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast
made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied
thy whoredoms.
26
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great
of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
27
Behold, therefore I have
stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary
food,
and delivered thee unto
the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
28
Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast
played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
29
Thou hast moreover multiplied
thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
30
How
weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these
things,
the work of an imperious
whorish woman;
31
In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest
thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
32
But as
a wife that committeth adultery,
which
taketh strangers instead of her husband!
33
They give gifts
to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto
thee on every side for thy whoredom.
34
And the contrary is in thee from
other
women in thy
whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward,
and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the L
ORD
:
36
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy
filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers,
and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give
unto them;
37
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure,
and all
them
that thou hast loved, with all
them
that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round
about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
38
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give
thee blood in fury and jealousy.
39
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw
down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy
clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
40
They shall also bring up a
company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their
swords.
41
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight
of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no
