26:022:006 Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their
power to shed blood.

26:022:007 In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst
of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in
thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.

26:022:008 Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my
sabbaths.

26:022:009 In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee
they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit
lewdness.

26:022:010 In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee
have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.

26:022:011 And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife;
and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and
another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's
daughter.

26:022:012 In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken
usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy
neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord
GOD.

26:022:013 Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest
gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in
the midst of thee.

26:022:014 Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the
days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it,
and will do it.

26:022:015 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee
in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.

26:022:016 And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight
of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

26:022:017 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

26:022:018 Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all
they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of
the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.

26:022:019 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become
dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of
Jerusalem.

26:022:020 As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to
melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury,
and I will leave you there, and melt you.

26:022:021 Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my
wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst therof.

26:022:022 As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye
be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the
LORD have poured out my fury upon you.

26:022:023 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

26:022:024 Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not
cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.

26:022:025 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof,
like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured
souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they
have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

26:022:026 Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy
things: they have put no difference between the holy and
profane, neither have they shewed difference between the
unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my
sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

26:022:027 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the
prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest
gain.

26:022:028 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter,
seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith
the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

26:022:029 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have
oppressed the stranger wrongfully.

26:022:030 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the
hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I
should not destroy it: but I found none.

26:022:031 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have
consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

26:023:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

26:023:002 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

26:023:003 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed
whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed,
and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

26:023:004 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her
sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters.
Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem
Aholibah.

26:023:005 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted
on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

26:023:006 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

26:023:007 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that
were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she
doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

26:023:008 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her
youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her
virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

26:023:009 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers,
into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

26:023:010 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her
daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous
among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.

26:023:011 And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in
her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than
her sister in her whoredoms.

26:023:012 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and
rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses,
all of them desirable young men.

26:023:013 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

26:023:014 And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men
pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans
pourtrayed with vermilion,

26:023:015 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire
upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the
manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their
nativity:

26:023:016 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon
them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

26:023:017 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they
defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with
them, and her mind was alienated from them.

26:023:018 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness:
then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was
alienated from her sister.

26:023:019 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance
the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in
the land of Egypt.

26:023:020 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the
flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

26:023:021 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth,
in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy
youth.

26:023:022 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will
raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is
alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

26:023:023 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and
Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable
young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all
of them riding upon horses.

26:023:024 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and
wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set
against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I
will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee
according to their judgments.

26:023:025 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal
furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine
ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take
thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured
by the fire.

26:023:026 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away
thy fair jewels.

26:023:027 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy
whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt
not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

26:023:028 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into
the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from
whom thy mind is alienated:

26:023:029 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away
all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the
nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.

26:023:030 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a
whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with
their idols.

26:023:031 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I
give her cup into thine hand.

26:023:032 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup
deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in
derision; it containeth much.

26:023:033 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup
of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister
Samaria.

26:023:034 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break
the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I
have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

26:023:035 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten
me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.

26:023:036 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge
Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their
abominations;

26:023:037 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their
hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and
have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass
for them through the fire, to devour them.

26:023:038 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my
sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

26:023:039 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then
they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and,
lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

26:023:040 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far,
unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom
thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst
thyself with ornaments,

26:023:041 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it,
whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.

26:023:042 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and
with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the
wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and
beautiful crowns upon their heads.

26:023:043 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now
commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?

26:023:044 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that
playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto
Aholibah, the lewd women.

26:023:045 And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner
of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed
blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their
hands.

26:023:046 For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon
them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

26:023:047 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch
them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their
daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

26:023:048 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all
women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

26:023:049 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall
bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the
Lord GOD.

26:024:001 Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day
of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

26:024:002 Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same
day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this
same day.

26:024:003 And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto
them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and
also pour water into it:

26:024:004 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the
thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.

26:024:005 Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under
it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it
therein.

26:024:006 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to
the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out
of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

26:024:007 For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top
of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with
dust;

26:024:008 That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have
set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be
covered.

26:024:009 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I
will even make the pile for fire great.

26:024:010 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it
well, and let the bones be burned.

26:024:011 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it
may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be
molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.

26:024:012 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went
not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.

26:024:013 In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and
thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy
filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon
thee.

26:024:014 I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will
do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will
I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings,
shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.

26:024:015 Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

26:024:016 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine
eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep,
neither shall thy tears run down.

26:024:017 Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire
of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet,
and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.

26:024:018 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife
died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.

26:024:019 And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these
things are to us, that thou doest so?

26:024:020 Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,

26:024:021 Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your
strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul
pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left
shall fall by the sword.

26:024:022 And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips,
nor eat the bread of men.

26:024:023 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon
your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away
for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.

26:024:024 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath
done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I
am the Lord GOD.

26:024:025 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take
from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire
of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their
sons and their daughters,

26:024:026 That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to
cause thee to hear it with thine ears?

26:024:027 In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped,
and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a
sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

26:025:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,

26:025:002 Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy
against them;

26:025:003 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD;
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my
sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of
Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah,
when they went into captivity;

26:025:004 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east
for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee,
and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit,
and they shall drink thy milk.

26:025:005 And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites
a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the
LORD.

26:025:006 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine
hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with
all thy despite against the land of Israel;

26:025:007 Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and
will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut
thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out
of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know
that I am the LORD.

26:025:008 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say,
Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

26:025:009 Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the
cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory
of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,

26:025:010 Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give
them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered
among the nations.

26:025:011 And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know
that I am the LORD.

26:025:012 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against
the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly
offended, and revenged himself upon them;

26:025:013 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out
mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it;
and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan
shall fall by the sword.

26:025:014 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people
Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and
according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith
the Lord GOD.

26:025:015 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by
revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to
destroy it for the old hatred;

26:025:016 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out
mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the
Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.

26:025:017 And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious
rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall
lay my vengeance upon them.

26:026:001 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of
the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

26:026:002 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem,
Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is
turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:

26:026:003 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee,
as the sea causeth his waves to come up.

26:026:004 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her
towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her
like the top of a rock.

26:026:005 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of
the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it
shall become a spoil to the nations.

26:026:006 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the
sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

26:026:007 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the
north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and
companies, and much people.

26:026:008 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and
he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against
thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.

26:026:009 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with
his axes he shall break down thy towers.

26:026:010 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall
cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the
horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he
shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein
is made a breach.

26:026:011 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy
streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong
garrisons shall go down to the ground.

26:026:012 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of
thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and
destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and
thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.

26:026:013 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the
sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.

26:026:014 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a
place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I
the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

26:026:015 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at
the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the
slaughter is made in the midst of thee?

26:026:016 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their
thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered
garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they
shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment,
and be astonished at thee.

26:026:017 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to
thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring
men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and
her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that
haunt it!
