THE WORD OF YAH VEH CONCERNING UNTRUSTING YERU SHALEM
And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, 2 Son of humanity, have Yeru Shalem know her abhorrences; 3 and say, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; Your origin and your kindred is of the land of Kenaan - your father an Emoriy and your mother a Hethiy: 4 and as for your kindred, in the day you were birthed, neither was your navel cut nor were you baptized in water for inspection; in salting, you were not salted; in swathing, you were not swathed: 5 no eye spared you, to work one of these to you - to compassion you; but you were cast out in the face of the field, to the loathing of your soul, in the day you were birthed. 6 And I pass you by and see you trampled in your own blood; and I say to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I say to you in your blood, Live! 7 I give you to abound by the myriads as the sprout of the field: and you abound and greaten; and you come with ornaments of ornaments: your breasts fashion and your hair sprouts, and you are naked and nude. 8 And I pass you by and see you; behold, your time is a time of loves: and I spread my wing over you and cover your nakedness: yes, I oath to you and enter a covenant with you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you become mine: 9 and I baptize you with water; yes, I throughly wash away your blood from you and I anoint you with oil: 10 and I enrobe you with embroidery and shod you with skin of badgers; and I bind you with white linen and I cover you with silk: 11 and I adorn you with ornaments and I give clasps on your hands and a chain on your throat: 12 and I give a nosering on your nostrils and earrings in your ears and a crown of adornment on your head: 13 and adorn you with gold and silver; and your robe is of white linen and silk and embroidery: you eat flour and honey and oil: and you are mightily beautified and you prosper into a sovereigndom: 14 and because of your beauty your name goes forth among the goyim: for it is perfect through my majesty which I set on you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 15 And you confide in your own beauty and whore because of your name; and pour your whoredoms on every one who passes by - to him. 16 And from your clothes, you take of the patches, and work your bamahs and whore thereon: such as neither has come, nor becomes. 17 And you take your instruments of adornment of my gold and of my silver, which I give you, and work images of males to yourself and whore with them; 18 and take your clothes of embroidery and cover them: and you give my oil and my incense at their face: 19 and the meat I give you - flour and oil and honey to eat, you even give at their face for a scent of rest: and so be it, - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. 20 And you take your sons and your daughters, whom you birthed to me, and you sacrifice them to be eaten. Are these trifling - your whoredoms, 21 to slaughter my sons, and give them to pass through? 22 And in all your abhorrences and your whoredoms you remember not the days of your youth, when you were naked and nude, and were trampled in your blood. 23 And so be it, after all your evil, - woe, woe to you - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh 24 you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: 25 build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms. 26 And you whore with the sons of Misrayim your fellow tabernaclers, great of flesh; and abound your whoredoms to vex me. 27 Behold, I spread my hand over you and diminish your statute; and give you to the soul of them who hate you - the daughters of the Peleshethiym who shame over your way of intrigue. 28 And you whore with the sons of Ashshur, because you are not satisfied; yes, you whore with them, and yet you are not satisfied. 29 You abound your whoredom in the land of Kenaan to the Kesediym; and yet you are not satisfied with this. 30 How weak your heart - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh seeing you work all these - the work of a domineering whorish woman; 31 building your arch in the head of every way; and working your ramah in every broadway: and not being as a whore who ridicules a payoff; 32 but as a woman who adulterizes, who takes strangers instead of her man! 33 They give payoffs to all whores: and you give payoffs to all your lovers, and hire them to come to you from all around for your whoredom. 34 And the contrary is in you of women in your whoredoms; whereas no one whores after you: and in that you give a payoff and no payoff is given to you: so you are contrary. 35 So, O whore, hear the word of Yah Veh! 36 Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your copper is poured, and your nakedness exposed through your whoredoms with your lovers and with all the idols of your abhorrences, and by the blood of your sons, which you give them; 37 behold, so I gather all your lovers whom you pleased and all whom you loved with all whom you hated - and I gather them all around against you and expose your nakedness to them so that they see all your nakedness. 38 And I judge you with judgments as adulteresses who pour blood; and I give you blood and fury and jealousy: 39 and I give you into their hand: and they throw down your arch and pull down your ramahs: and they strip you of your clothes and take your instruments of adornment; and leave you naked and nude: 40 and they ascend a congregation against you and stone you with stones and section you with their swords: 41 and they burn your houses with fire and work judgments on you in the eyes of many women: and I shabbathize you from whoring and that you give a payoff no more. 42 Thus I rest my fury toward you; and turn my jealousy from you: and I rest, and vex no more. 43 Because you remember not the days of your youth, and quiver me in all these: behold, even I also give your way on your head - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh that you not work this intrigue above all your abhorrences. 44 Behold, every one who proverbializes proverbs proverbializes this proverb against you, saying, As the mother, thus her daughter. 45 You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her man and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathe their men and their sons: your mother is a Hethiy and your father an Emoriy: 46 and your great sister is Shomeron - she and her daughters who settle at your left: and your younger sister who settles at your right is Sedom and her daughters. 47 Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they. 48 I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sedom your sister - neither she nor her daughters work as you work - you and your daughters. 49 Behold, this is the perversity of your sister Sedom: pomp, sufficiency of bread, and the serenity of resting are in her and in her daughters, she strengthens not the hand of the humble and needy: 50 and they lift themselves and work abhorrence at my face: and I turn them aside when I see. 51 As for Shomeron: she sins not the half of your sins; but you abound your abhorrences more than they and justify your sisters in all the abhorrences you work. 52 You also, who judge your sisters, bear your own shame for your sins - more abhorrent than theirs: they are justified more than you: yes you, shame also and bear your shame in that you justify your sisters. 53 When I restore their captivity - the captivity of Sedom and her daughters and the captivity of Shomeron and her daughters and the captivity of your captives in their midst: 54 that you bear your own shame and confound in all you work in that you sigh over them. 55 When your sisters, Sedom and her daughters, return to their former estate, and Shomeron and her daughters return to their former estate, then you and your daughters return to your former estate. 56 For your mouth reports not your sister Sedom in the day of your pomp 57 ere your evil is exposed as at the time of reproach of the daughters of Aram and all those around her, the daughters of the Peleshethiy, who despise you all around. 58 You bear your intrigue and your abhorrences - an oracle of Yah Veh. 59 For thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I work with you as you work - who despise the oath to break the covenant. 60 I remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth; and I raise to you an eternal covenant. 61 Then you remember your ways and shame - when you take your sisters - your greater and your younger: and I give them to you for daughters, - and not by your covenant: 62 and I raise my covenant with you; and you know, I - Yah Veh: 63 so that you remember, and shame; that you not open your mouth any more at the face of your shame, when I kapar/atone for you for all you work - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.
