EZEKIEL CHAPTER 23

Ezekiel 23:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying, 'Son of man,
23:2 Two women were daughters of one mother,
23:3 And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
23:4 And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names -- Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
23:5 And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,
23:6 Clothed with blue -- governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,
23:7 And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them -- even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.
23:8 And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
23:9 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted.
Ezekiel 23:10 They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
23:11 And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
23:12 On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones -- clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.
23:13 And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
23:14 And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,
23:15 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers -- all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
23:16 And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.
23:17 And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
23:18 And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.
23:19 And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 23:20 And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses -- their issue.
23:21 Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.
23:23 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them -- rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.
23:24 And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.
23:25 And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.
23:26 And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.
23:27 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.
23:28 For thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.
23:29 And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
Ezekiel 23:30 To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,
23:31 In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.
23:32 Thus said the Lord YHWH: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.
23:33 With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria.
23:34 And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH,
23:35 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
23:36 And YHWH saith unto me, 'Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations.
23:37 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
23:38 Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.
23:39 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Ezekiel 23:40 And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.
23:41 And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.
23:42 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.
23:43 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms -- she also!
23:44 And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah -- the wicked women.
23:45 As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
23:46 For thus said the Lord YHWH: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
23:47 And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.
23:48 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.
23:49 And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord YHWH!

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 24

Ezekiel 24:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,
24:2 'Son of man, write for thee the name of the day -- this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day --
24:3 and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water,
24:4 To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.
24:5 The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.
24:6 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Wo [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.
24:7 For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
24:8 To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock -- not to be covered.
24:9 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Wo [to] the city of blood, yea, I -- I make great the pile.
Ezekiel 24:10 Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.
24:11 And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.
24:12 [With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum.
24:13 In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.
24:14 I, YHWH, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.'
24:15 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
24:16 'Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.
24:17 Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.'
24:18 And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
24:19 And the people say unto me, 'Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?'
Ezekiel 24:20 And I say unto them, 'A word of YHWH hath been unto me, saying:
24:21 Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.
24:22 And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.
24:23 And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another.
24:24 And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in -- ye have known that I [am] the Lord YHWH.
24:25 And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?
24:26 In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.
24:27 In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I [am] YHWH.'

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 25

Ezekiel 25:1 And there is a word of YHWH unto me, saying,
25:2 'Son of man, set thy face unto the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them;
25:3 and thou hast said to the sons of Ammon: Hear ye a word of the Lord YHWH: Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because of thy saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it hath been polluted, And unto the ground of Israel, Because it hath been desolate, And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a removal:
25:4 Therefore, lo, I am giving thee to sons of the east for a possession, And they set their towers in thee, And have placed in thee their tabernacles. They eat thy fruit, and they drink thy milk,
25:5 And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known that I [am] YHWH.
25:6 For thus said the Lord YHWH: Because of thy clapping the hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel,
25:7 Therefore, lo, I -- I have stretched out My hand against thee, And have given thee for a portion to nations, And I have cut thee off from the peoples, And caused thee to perish from the lands; I destroy thee, and thou hast known that I [am] YHWH.
25:8 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because of the saying of Moab and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah;
25:9 Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab -- From the cities -- from his cities -- from his frontier, The beauty of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim,
Ezekiel 25:10 To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are not remembered among nations.
25:11 And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.
25:12 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of Edom, In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them.
25:13 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: I have stretched out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and beast, And given it up -- a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By sword they do fall.
25:14 And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
25:15 Thus said the Lord YHWH: Because of the doings of the Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite in soul, To destroy -- the enmity age-during!
25:16 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea,
25:17 And done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving out My vengeance on them!

EZEKIEL CHAPTER 26

Ezekiel 26:1 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, there hath been a word of YHWH unto me, saying: 'Son of man,
26:2 Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round unto me, I am filled -- she hath been laid waste,
26:3 Therefore, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up.
26:4 And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a rock.
26:5 A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea, For I -- I have spoken -- an affirmation of the Lord YHWH, And she hath been for a spoil to nations.
26:6 And her daughters who [are] in the field, by sword they are slain, And they have known that I [am] YHWH,
26:7 For, thus said the Lord YHWH: Lo, I am bringing in unto Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north -- a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.
26:8 Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler.
26:9 And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons.
Ezekiel 26:10 From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into a city broken-up.
26:11 With hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places, Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy strength to the earth come down.
26:12 And they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood, and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place.
26:13 And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the voice of thy harps is heard no more.
26:14 And I have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any more, For I, YHWH, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH.
26:15 Thus said the Lord YHWH to Tyre: Do not -- from the noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake?
26:16 And come down from off their thrones have all princes of the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at thee,
26:17 And have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants!
26:18 Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that [are] in the sea, at thine outgoing.
26:19 For thus said the Lord YHWH: In my making thee a city wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great waters.
Ezekiel 26:20 And I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts -- in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty in the land of the living.
26:21 Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art sought, and art not found any more -- to the age, An affirmation of the Lord YHWH!'
