God

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.

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.

To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,

In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.

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 Jehovah,

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'

And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations.

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.

Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.

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,

And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.

And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms--she also!

For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.

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.

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 Jehovah!

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,

and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set it on, and also to pour into it water,

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe 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.

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.

Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the city of blood, yea, I--I make great the pile.

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.

I, Jehovah, 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 Jehovah.'

And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

`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.
