Chapter 16

1The word of Hashem came to me:

vai-HI d'-var a-do-NAI e-LAI lay-MOR

אוַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהֹוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2O mortal, proclaim Yerushalayim's abominations to her,

ben-a-DAM ho-DA et-y'-ru-sha-LA-im et-to-a-vo-TE-ha

בבֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הוֹדַ֥ע אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלַ֖͏ִם אֶת־תּוֹעֲבֹתֶֽיהָ׃

3and say: Thus said Hashem to Yerushalayim: By origin and birth you are from the land of the Canaanites—your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4As for your birth, when you were born your navel cord was not cut, and you were not bathed in water to smooth you; you were not rubbed with salt, nor were you swaddled.

5No one pitied you enough to do any one of these things for you out of compassion for you; on the day you were born, you were left lying, rejected, in the open field.

6When I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you: “Live in spite of your blood.” Yea, I said to you: “Live in spite of your blood.”

7I let you grow like the plants of the field; and you continued to grow up until you attained to womanhood, until your breasts became firm and your hair sprouted. You were still naked and bare

8when I passed by you [again] and saw that your time for love had arrived. So I spread My robe over you and covered your nakedness, and I entered into a covenant with you by oath—declares Hashem; thus you became Mine.

10I clothed you with embroidered garments, and gave you sandals of dolphin leather to wear, and wound fine linen about your head, and dressed you in silks.

13You adorned yourself with gold and silver, and your apparel was of fine linen, silk, and embroidery. Your food was choice flour, honey, and oil. You grew more and more beautiful, and became fit for royalty.

14Your beauty won you fame among the nations, for it was perfected through the splendor which I set upon you—declares Hashem.

15But confident in your beauty and fame, you played the harlot: you lavished your favors on every passerby; they were his.

16You even took some of your cloths and made yourself tapestried platforms and fornicated on them—not in the future; not in time to come.

17You took your beautiful things, made of the gold and silver that I had given you, and you made yourself phallic images and fornicated with them.

19The food that I had given you—the choice flour, the oil, and the honey, which I had provided for you to eat—you set it before them for a pleasing odor. And so it went—declares Hashem.

20You even took the sons and daughters that you bore to Me and sacrificed them to those [images] as food—as if your harlotries were not enough,

22In all your abominations and harlotries, you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and lay wallowing in your blood.

25You built your mound at every crossroad; and you sullied your beauty and spread your legs to every passerby, and you multiplied your harlotries.

27Now, I will stretch out My arm against you and withhold your maintenance; and I will surrender you to the will of your enemies, the Philistine women, who are shocked by your lewd behavior.

28In your insatiable lust you also played the whore with the Assyrians; you played the whore with them, but were still unsated.

29You multiplied your harlotries with Chaldea, that land of traders; yet even with this you were not satisfied.

31building your eminence at every crossroad and setting your mound in every square! Yet you were not like a prostitute, for you spurned fees;

34You were the opposite of other women: you solicited instead of being solicited; you paid fees instead of being paid fees. Thus you were just the opposite!

36Thus said Hashem: Because of your brazen effrontery, offering your nakedness to your lovers for harlotry—just like the blood of your children, which you gave to all your abominable fetishes:—

37I will assuredly assemble all the lovers to whom you gave your favors, along with everybody you accepted and everybody you rejected. I will assemble them against you from every quarter, and I will expose your nakedness to them, and they shall see all your nakedness.

38I will inflict upon you the punishment of women who commit adultery and murder, and I will direct bloody and impassioned fury against you.

43Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but infuriated Me with all those things, I will pay you back for your conduct—declares Hashem. Have you not committed depravity on top of all your other abominations?

45You are the daughter of your mother, who rejected her husband and children. And you are the sister of your sisters, who rejected their husbands and children; for you are daughters of a Hittite mother and an Amorite father.

46Your elder sister was Shomron, who lived with her daughters to the north of you; your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to the south of you.

47Did you not walk in their ways and practice their abominations? Why, you were almost more corrupt than they in all your ways.

48As I live—declares Hashem—your sister Sodom and her daughters did not do what you and your daughters did.

49Only this was the sin of your sister Sodom: arrogance! She and her daughters had plenty of bread and untroubled tranquillity; yet she did not support the poor and the needy.

50In their haughtiness, they committed abomination before Me; and so I removed them, as you saw.

51Nor did Shomron commit even half your sins. You committed more abominations than they, and by all the abominations that you committed you made your sisters look righteous.

52Truly, you must bear the disgrace of serving as your sisters' advocate: Since you have sinned more abominably than they, they appear righteous in comparison. So be ashamed and bear your disgrace, because you have made your sisters look righteous.
