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.
