YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Again
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying,
“
Son of man, confront
Jerusalem with
her abominations
`
Son of man, cause
Jerusalem to
know
her abominations ,
and
thou
hast
said:
and
tell
her
that
this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
to Jerusalem: Your
origin
and
your
birth were
in
the land of the Canaanites.
Your
father was
an
Amorite and your
mother a Hittite.
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
to Jerusalem: Thy
birth and
thy
nativity
`Are'
of
the land of the Canaanite,
Thy
father the
Amorite ,
and thy
mother a Hittite.
On
the day of
your
birth
your
cord
was
not cut, nor
were
you
washed
with
water for cleansing.
You
were
not rubbed
with
salt
or
wrapped
in
cloths
.
As
to
thy
nativity,
in
the day thou
wast
born,
Thou
--
thy
navel
hath
not been
cut, And
in
water thou
wast
not
washed
for ease,
And
thou
hast
not been
salted
at
all,
And
thou
hast
not
been
swaddled
at
all
.
No one
cared
enough
for
you
to do even
one
of these things
out
of
compassion for
you.
Instead
, you
were
thrown
out
into
the open
field, because
you
were
despised
on
the
day
of your
birth
.
No eye
hath
had
pity
on
thee,
to do to
thee
any
of these ,
To
have
compassion on
thee
, And
thou
art
cast
on
the face
of
the
field, With
loathing
of thy
person
. In
the
day
thou
hast
been
born
--
thou!
Then
I passed
by and saw
you
wallowing
in your
blood, and as
you
lay
there
in
your
blood
I said
to you
, ‘
Live !’
There
I said
to you
, ‘
Live !’
And
I do
pass
over
by thee,
And I
see
thee
trodden
down
in thy
blood, And I say
to thee
in
thy
blood
, Live ,
And
I say
to thee
in
thy
blood
, Live .
I
made
you
thrive
like
a plant
of the field .
You
grew
up
and matured
and became
very
beautiful.
Your
breasts were
formed and your
hair grew
, but
you
were
naked and bare .
A myriad
--
as
the
shoot
of the field I
have
made
thee,
And thou
art
multiplied,
and art
great,
And
comest
in
with
an
excellent
adornment,
Breasts have
been
formed ,
and thy
hair hath
grown
--
And
thou
, naked and bare !
Then
I passed
by and saw
you
, and you
were
indeed
old
enough
for
love.
So
I spread My cloak
over you
and covered
your
nakedness .
I pledged
Myself
to you
, entered
into
a covenant with you,
and
you
became
Mine
, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
I pass
over
by thee,
and I
see
thee
, And lo,
thy
time
`is'
a
time
of
loves,
And
I spread My skirt
over thee,
And I
cover
thy
nakedness ,
And
I swear
to thee
, and
come
in
to
a covenant with thee
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
And
thou
dost
become
Mine
.
Then
I bathed
you
with water, rinsed
off
your
blood, and anointed
you
with oil
.
And
I do
wash
thee
with water, And
I
wash
away
thy
blood from
off
thee
, And I
anoint
thee
with perfume
.
I clothed
you
in
embroidered
cloth
and gave
you
sandals
of
fine
leather.
I wrapped
you
in
fine linen and covered
you
with silk.
And
I clothe
thee
with
embroidery,
And I shoe
thee
with
badger's
skin,
And
I
gird
thee
with
fine linen ,
And I
cover
thee
with figured
silk.
I adorned
you
with jewelry
, and I put
bracelets on
your
wrists
and a chain around
your
neck.
And
I adorn
thee
with adornments
, And I give
bracelets for
thy
hands,
And a chain for
thy
neck.
I put
a ring in
your
nose, earrings
on
your
ears, and a beautiful
crown upon
your
head.
And
I give
a ring for
thy
nose, And
rings
for
thine
ears, And a crown of
beauty
on
thy
head.
So
you
were
adorned
with
gold and silver, and your
clothing was
made
of
fine linen, silk ,
and embroidered
cloth.
You
ate
fine flour, honey, and oil .
You
became
very beautiful and rose
to be
queen
.
And
thou
dost
put
on
gold and silver, And thy
clothing `is'
fine linen, And
figured
silk and embroidery,
Fine flour, and
honey, and oil thou
hast
eaten,
And
thou
art
very very
beautiful ,
And dost
go
prosperously
to the
kingdom
.
Your
fame
spread
among the
nations on
account
of your
beauty ,
for it was
perfect
in the
splendor
I bestowed
on
you
, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And
go
forth
doth
thy
name
among nations ,
Because
of thy
beauty --
for it `is'
complete,
In My
honour
that
I have
set
upon
thee
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
But
because of your
fame
, you
trusted
in
your
beauty
and played
the
harlot.
You
lavished
your
favors
on everyone
who
passed
by ,
and
your
beauty
was
theirs
for
the
asking
.
And
thou
dost
trust
in
thy
beauty,
And
goest
a-whoring
because of thy
renown
, And dost
pour
out
thy
whoredoms
On every
passer
by --
to
him
it
is
.
You
took
some
of your
garments and made
colorful
high places for
yourself
, and on
them you
prostituted
yourself.
Such
things
should
not
have
happened;
never
should
they have
occurred
!
And
thou
dost
take
of thy
garments ,
And dost
make
to
thee
spotted
high -
places, And dost
go
a-whoring
upon
them ,
They are
not
coming
in
--
nor
shall
it
be
!
You
also
took
the
fine
jewelry
of gold and silver I had
given
you
, and you
made
male idols
with which
to
prostitute
yourself.
And
thou
dost
take
thy
beauteous
vessels
Of My
gold and My
silver that
I gave
to
thee
, And dost
make
to
thee
images
of
a
male ,
And
dost
go
a-whoring
with them,
You
took
your
embroidered
garments to
cover them, and you
set
My oil and incense
before them.
And
dost
take
the
garments of
thy
embroidery,
And
thou
dost
cover them, And My oil and My
perfume
thou
hast
set
before them.
And you
set
before
them
as
a
pleasing
aroma
the
food
I had
given
you—the
fine flour, oil, and honey that I had
fed
you
. That
is what
happened
, declares
the Lord GOD
.
And My
bread,
that
I gave
to
thee,
Fine flour, and
oil, and honey ,
that I caused
thee
to
eat
. Thou
hast
even
set
it
before
them,
For
a
sweet
fragrance
--
thus
it
is, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
.
You
even
took
the
sons and daughters you
bore
to Me and sacrificed
them as
food
to idols
. Was
your
prostitution
not
enough?
And
thou
dost
take
thy
sons and thy
daughters Whom
thou
hast
born
to Me ,
And dost
sacrifice
them to them
for
food
. Is
it
a
little
thing
because
of
thy
whoredoms,
You
slaughtered
My children
and delivered
them up through
the
fire
to idols.
That
thou
dost
slaughter
My sons,
And dost
give
them up in
causing
them
to pass
over
to
them?
And in
all your
abominations and acts
of
prostitution
, you
did
not remember
the days of your
youth when you
were
naked and bare, wallowing
in your
own
blood .
And with
all thine
abominations and thy
whoredoms
, Thou
hast
not remembered
the days of thy
youth ,
When thou
wast
naked and bare, Trodden
down
in thy
blood thou
wast!
Woe!
Woe
to
you,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
And in
addition
to all your
other
wickedness,
And it
cometh
to pass,
after
all thy
wickedness, (Wo,
wo,
to
thee
--
an
affirmation
of
the
Lord
Jehovah),
you
built
yourself
a
mound
and made
yourself
a lofty
shrine
in every public
square
.
That
thou
dost
build
to
thee
an
arch,
And dost
make
to
thee
a high
place
in every broad
place
.
At the
head of every
street
you
built your
lofty
shrines
and degraded
your
beauty .
With
increasing
promiscuity
, you
spread
your
legs
to all
who
passed
by .
At every
head of the
way
thou
hast
built thy
high
place,
And thou
dost
make
thy
beauty abominable
, And
dost
open
wide
thy
feet
to every
passer
by ,
And
dost
multiply
thy
whoredoms,
You
prostituted
yourself
with
your
lustful
neighbors,
the
Egyptians
, and increased
your
promiscuity
to provoke Me to anger.
And
dost
go
a-whoring
unto
sons
of
Egypt
, Thy
neighbours
--
great
of
appetite!
And thou
dost
multiply
thy
whoredoms,
To provoke Me to anger.
Therefore
I stretched out My hand against you
and reduced
your
portion.
I gave
you
over
to the desire of those who
hate
you
, the daughters of the Philistines, who were
ashamed of your
lewd
conduct
.
And
lo,
I have
stretched out My hand against thee,
And I diminish
thy
portion,
And
give
thee
to the desire of those hating
thee
, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are
ashamed of thy
wicked
way
.
Then
you
prostituted
yourself
with
the
Assyrians
, because
you
were
not
yet
satisfied .
Even
after
that
, you
were
still
not satisfied.
And
thou
goest
a-whoring
unto
sons
of
Asshur
, Without
thy
being
satisfied, And
thou
dost
go
a-whoring
with
them,
And
also
--
thou
hast
not been
satisfied.
So
you
extended
your
promiscuity
to
Chaldea,
the land of merchants—but
even with this you
were
not satisfied !
And
thou
dost
multiply
thy
whoredoms
On
the land of Canaan
--
toward
Chaldea,
And
even with this thou
hast
not been
satisfied .
How weak -willed
is your
heart, declares
the Lord GOD
, while
you
do
all these things
, the acts
of a shameless
prostitute!
How weak `
is '
thy
heart, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, In
thy
doing
all these, The work
of a domineering
whorish
woman.
But
when
you
built
your
mounds
at the head of every street
and
made your
lofty
shrines
in every public
square
, you
were
not even
like
a prostitute,
because
you
scorned
payment
.
In
thy
building
thine
arch
at the head of every way,
Thy
high
place
thou
hast
made in every broad
place
, And
--
hast
not been
as
a whore
deriding
a
gift
.
You
adulterous
wife !
You
receive strangers instead
of
your
own
husband!
The
wife who
committeth
adultery
--
Under
her
husband
--
doth
receive strangers .
Men
give
gifts
to all their
prostitutes
, but
you
gave
gifts to all your
lovers .
You
bribed
them to come to
you
from everywhere
for
your
illicit
favors
.
To all whores
they
give
a
gift
, And
--
thou
hast
given
thy
gifts to all thy
lovers ,
And
dost
bribe
them to come in
unto
thee,
From round
about
--
in
thy
whoredoms
.
So
your
prostitution
is
the opposite
of
that
of
other
women :
No
one
solicited
your
favors
, and you
paid
a fee
instead
of
receiving
one
; so
you
are
the
very
opposite!
And
the contrary
is
in
thee
from
women in
thy
whoredoms
, That
after
thee
none
doth
go
a-whoring;
And in
thy
giving
a gift,
And
a
gift
hath
not
been
given
to
thee
; And
thou
art
become
contrary.
Therefore, O prostitute
, hear the
word of the
LORD!
Therefore, O whore
, hear a
word of Jehovah,
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: Because you
poured out
your
wealth
and exposed
your
nakedness in your
promiscuity
with
your
lovers and with
all your
detestable
idols, and because
of
the blood of your
children
which
you
gave
to them ,
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because of
thy
brass
being
poured forth,
And thy
nakedness is
revealed
in thy
whoredoms
near
thy
lovers ,
And near
all the
idols of
thy
abominations
, And according
to
the blood of thy
sons,
Whom
thou
hast
given
to them ;
therefore I will
surely
gather
all the
lovers with
whom you
found
pleasure
, all those
you
loved and
all those
you
hated .
I will
gather
them against
you
from
all
around
and expose
you
before
them, and they will
see
you
completely
naked
.
Therefore ,
lo,
I am
assembling
all thy
lovers ,
To
whom thou
hast
been
sweet
, And
all whom
thou
hast
loved ,
Besides
all whom
thou
hast
hated ;
And
I have
assembled
them by
thee
round
about,
And have
revealed
thy
nakedness
to
them, And they have
seen
all
thy
nakedness
.
And I will
sentence
you
to
the
punishment
of women who
commit
adultery
and those
who
shed
blood ;
so
I
will
bring
upon
you
the
wrath
of
your
bloodshed
and jealousy.
And I have
judged
thee
--
judgments
of adultresses,
And
of
women shedding
blood,
And have
given
thee
blood ,
fury,
and jealousy.
Then
I will
deliver
you
into the
hands
of
your
lovers
, and they will
level
your
mounds
and tear
down your
lofty
shrines.
They will
strip
off
your
clothes
, take
your
fine
jewelry
, and leave
you
naked and bare.
And
I have
given
thee
into their
hand
, And they have
thrown
down
thine
arch,
And they
have
broken
down thy
high
places,
And
they have
stript
thee
of
thy
garments
, And
they
have
taken
thy
beauteous
vessels
, And they
have
left
thee
naked and bare.
They
will
bring
a
mob
against you
, who
will
stone
you
and cut
you
to
pieces
with their swords .
And
have
caused
an
assembly
to
come
up
against thee
, And stoned
thee
with stones,
And
thrust
thee
through
with
their swords ,
Then
they
will
burn
down
your
houses and execute
judgment
against
you
in the sight
of many women .
I will
put
an
end
to your
prostitution
, and you
will
never
again
pay
your
lovers
.
And
burnt
thy
houses with
fire,
And done
in thee
judgments
before
the eyes
of many women ,
And
I have
caused
thee
to cease
from
going
a-whoring
, And also
a
gift
thou
givest
no
more
.
So
I will
lay
to
rest
My wrath
against you
, and My jealousy will
turn
away
from you.
Then
I will
be
calm
and no
longer
angry.
And
I have
caused
My fury
against thee
to
rest
, And My jealousy hath
turned
aside
from thee,
And
I have
been
quiet,
and I
am
not
angry any
more
.
Because you
did
not remember
the days of your
youth, but
enraged
Me with
all these things
, I will
surely
bring
your
deeds
down
upon
your
own
head
, declares
the Lord GOD.
Have
you
not committed
this lewdness
on
top
of
all your
other
abominations ?
Because thou
hast
not remembered
the days of thy
youth, And
dost
give
trouble
to
Me in
all these, Lo,
even
I also
thy
way
at
first
gave
up
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
And
I
did
not this thought
for
all thine
abominations .
Behold
, all
who
speak
in
proverbs
will
quote
this
proverb
about
you
: ‘Like
mother ,
like
daughter .’
Lo
, every
one
using
a
simile,
Doth
use
a
simile
concerning
thee,
saying
: As
the
mother --
her
daughter !
You
are
the
daughter of
your
mother
, who
despised
her husband and children.
You
are
the
sister
of
your
sisters, who despised
their husbands and children.
Your mother was
a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
Thy
mother's
daughter thou
`art'
, Loathing
her husband and her
sons,
And
thy
sisters '
sister
thou
`art'
, Who loathed
their husbands and their
sons,
Your mother `is'
a Hittite ,
and your father an Amorite.
Your
older
sister was
Samaria, who
lived
with
her daughters to
your
north;
and your
younger sister was
Sodom
, who lived
with
her daughters to
your
south
.
And
thine
elder
sister `is'
Samaria, she
and
her daughters ,
Who
is
dwelling
at
thy
left
hand,
And thy
younger sister, who is
dwelling
on
thy
right
hand,
`is'
Sodom
and
her daughters.
And you
not
only
walked
in their ways and practiced
their abominations, but
soon
you
were
more depraved
than they were
.
And --
in their ways thou
hast
not
walked,
And according
to
their abominations done
, As
a
little
thing
it
hath
been
loathed,
And
thou
dost
more corruptly
than they in
all
thy
ways
.
As
surely
as
I live ,
declares
the Lord GOD
, your
sister
Sodom and her daughters never
did
as you
and your
daughters have
done
.
I live --
an
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Sodom thy
sister
hath
not
done
--
she
and her daughters --
As thou
hast
done
--
thou
and thy
daughters.
Now
this was
the iniquity of your
sister
Sodom :
She
and her daughters were
arrogant
, overfed,
and complacent;
they
did
not
help
the poor
and needy.
Lo,
this hath
been
the iniquity of Sodom thy
sister,
Arrogancy,
fulness
of
bread,
and quiet
ease,
Have
been
to
her and
to
her
daughters, And the hand
of
the
afflicted
and needy She
hath
not
strengthened
.
Thus
they were
haughty and committed
abominations
before Me .
Therefore
I removed
them ,
as
you
have seen.
And
they are
haughty and do
abomination
before Me ,
And
I turn
them aside
when
I
have seen.
Furthermore,
Samaria did
not
commit
half
the sins you
did.
You
have
multiplied
your
abominations beyond
theirs
, and all the
abominations you
have
committed
have
made
your
sisters
appear
righteous
.
As
to
Samaria ,
as
the half
of
thy
sins --
she
hath
not
sinned,
And
thou
dost
multiply
thine
abominations more
than
they
, And dost
justify
thy
sisters
by
all thy
abominations that
thou
hast
done
.
So
now
you
must
bear your
disgrace
, since
you
have
brought
justification
for
your
sisters .
For
they
appear
more
righteous
than
you
, because your
sins were
more vile
than theirs.
So
you
too
must
bear your
shame and
disgrace
, since
you
have
made
your
sisters appear
righteous
.
Thou
also
--
bear thy
shame
, That
thou
hast
adjudged
to
thy
sisters, Because of
thy
sins that
thou
hast
done
more abominably
than they,
They
are
more
righteous
than
thou,
And
thou,
also,
be
ashamed
and
bear thy
shame, In
thy
justifying
thy
sisters.
But
I will
restore
Sodom and her daughters from
captivity
, as
well
as
Samaria and her daughters .
And I
will
restore
you
along
with
them.
And
I have
turned
back
`to'
their
captivity,
The
captivity
of
Sodom and her daughters, And
the
captivity
of
Samaria and her daughters ,
And the
captivity
of
thy
captives
in
their
midst,
So you
will
bear your
disgrace
and be
ashamed of all you
did
to
comfort
them.
So that
thou
dost
bear thy
shame,
And hast
been
ashamed of all that
thou
hast
done,
In
thy
comforting
them.
And your
sisters, Sodom with
her daughters and Samaria with
her daughters ,
will
return
to their former state .
You
and your
daughters will
also
return
to your former state.
And thy
sisters, Sodom and
her daughters ,
Do
turn
back
to
their
former
state,
And Samaria and
her daughters Do
turn
back
to their former state ,
And thou
and
thy
daughters do
turn
back
to your former state.
Did
you
not
treat
your
sister Sodom as
an
object
of
scorn
in the day of your
pride
,
And
thy
sister Sodom hath
not
been
for
a
report
in thy
mouth,
In
the day of thine
arrogancy
,
before your
wickedness was
uncovered?
Even
so
, you
are
now
scorned
by
the daughters of Edom
and all those
around
her, and
by
the daughters of the Philistines —all
those
around
you
who despise
you
.
Before thy
wickedness is
revealed
, As
`at'
the time
of
the
reproach
of
the
daughters of Aram,
And of
all her neighbours
, the daughters of the Philistines ,
Who are
despising
thee
round
about
.
You
will
bear
the
consequences
of
your
lewdness
and your
abominations, declares
the
LORD
.
Thy
devices
and thine
abominations, Thou
hast
borne
them,
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: I will
deal
with you
according
to
your
deeds
, since
you
have
despised the
oath by
breaking
the
covenant.
For thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: I have
dealt
with thee
as
thou
hast
done
, In
that
thou
hast
despised an
oath --
to
break
covenant.
But
I will
remember
the
covenant
I made
with you
in the days of your
youth, and I will
establish
an
everlasting
covenant with
you
.
And
I --
I have
remembered
My
covenant
with thee,
In the days of thy
youth, And I have
established
for
thee
a
covenant age-during
.
Then
you
will
remember
your
ways and be
ashamed when
you
receive
your
older
and
younger
sisters .
I will
give
them to you
as
daughters, but
not because
of
My
covenant with
you
.
And
thou
hast
remembered
thy
ways ,
And thou
hast
been
ashamed ,
In
thy
receiving
thy
sisters --
Thine
elder
with
thy
younger,
And
I have
given
them to thee
for
daughters, And
not by
thy
covenant.
So
I will
establish
My covenant with you
, and you
will
know
that I am the
LORD,
And
I --
I
have
established
My covenant with thee
, And thou
hast
known
that I `
am '
Jehovah.
so that when
I
make
atonement
for
all
you
have
done,
you
will
remember and be
ashamed and never
again
open
your
mouth because of your
disgrace
, declares
the Lord GOD.”
So that thou
dost
remember ,
And thou
hast
been
ashamed ,
And there
is
not
to
thee
any
more
an
opening
of
the
mouth because of thy
shame
, In
My
receiving
atonement
for
thee,
For
all
that
thou
hast
done,
An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah!'
