24:002:025 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and
thy throat from
thirst:
but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have
loved
strangers, and after them will I go.
24:002:026 As the thief is ashamed when he is found,
so is the house of
Israel
ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their
priests,
and their prophets.
24:002:027 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father;
and to a stone, Thou
hast
brought me forth: for they have turned their back
unto
me,
and not their face: but in the time of their trouble
they
will
say, Arise, and save us.
24:002:028 But where are thy gods that thou hast made
thee? let them
arise,
if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble:
for
according
to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
24:002:029 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all
have transgressed
against
me, saith the lord.
24:002:030 In vain have I smitten your children; they
received no
correction:
your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a
destroying
lion.
24:002:031 O generation, see ye the word of the lord.
Have I been a
wilderness
unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my
people,
We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
24:002:032 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride
her attire? yet my
people
have forgotten me days without number.
24:002:033 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love?
therefore hast thou
also
taught the wicked ones thy ways.
24:002:034 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of
the souls of the poor
innocents:
I have not found it by secret search, but upon all
these.
24:002:035 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent,
surely his anger shall
turn
from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because
thou
sayest,
I have not sinned.
24:002:036 Why gaddest thou about so much to change
thy way? thou also
shalt
be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
24:002:037 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and
thine hands upon thine
head:
for the lord hath rejected thy confidences, and
thou
shalt
not prosper in them.
24:003:001 They say, If a man put away his wife, and
she go from him, and
become
another man’s, shall he return unto her again?
shall
not
that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played
the
harlot
with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the
lord.
24:003:002 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places,
and see where thou
hast
not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat
for them,
as
the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted
the
land
with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
