26:016:001 Again the word of the lord came unto me, saying,

26:016:002 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,

26:016:003 And say, Thus saith the Lord god unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and
           thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an
           Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.

26:016:004 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel
           was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee;
           thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

26:016:005 None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
           compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open
           field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast
           born.

26:016:006 And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own
           blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live;
           yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.

26:016:007 I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and
           thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to
           excellent ornaments:  thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair
           is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

26:016:008 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy
           time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee,
           and covered thy nakedness:  yea, I sware unto thee, and entered
           into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord god, and thou
           becamest mine.

26:016:009 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away
           thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.

26:016:010 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with
           badgers’ skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I
           covered thee with silk.

26:016:011 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon
           thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

26:016:012 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears,
           and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

26:016:013 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment
           was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst
           eat fine flour, and honey, and oil:  and thou wast exceeding
           beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.

26:016:014 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: 
           for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon
           thee, saith the Lord god.

26:016:015 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the
           harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy
           fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
