Ezekiel 14:23                                  607                                   Ezekiel 16:23

               concerning al that I haue brought vpon it.  23 And and bare.  8  Nowe when I passed by thee, and
               they shall comfort you, when yee see their way looked vpon thee, beholde, thy time was as the
               and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I time of loue, and I spred my skirtes ouer thee,
               haue not done without cause all that I haue done and couered thy filthines: yea, I sware vnto
               in it, saith the Lord God.                        thee, and entred into a couenant with thee, saith
                                     15                          the Lord God, and thou becamest mine.    9  Then
                                                                 washed I thee with water: yea, I washed away
                  1  And thee word of the Lord came vnto me, thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with
               saying,  2  Sonne of man, what commeth of the     oyle.  10 I clothed thee also with broydred worke,
               vine tree aboue all other trees? and of the vine  and shod thee with badgers skin: and I girded
               braunch, which is among the trees of ye forest?   thee about with fine linen, and I couered thee
               3 Shall wood bee taken thereof to doe any worke?  with silke.  11 I decked thee also with ornaments,
               or wil men take a pin of it to hang any vessel and I put bracelets vpon thine handes, and a
               thereon?   4  Behold, it is cast in the fire to be chaine on thy necke.   12  And I put a frontlet
               consumed: the fire consumeth both the endes of    vpon thy face, and earings in thine eares, and a
               it, and the middes of it is burnt. Is it meete for any  beautifull crowne vpon thine head.  13 Thus wast
                       5
               worke? Behold, when it was whole, it was meete    thou deckt with gold and siluer, and thy rayment
               for no worke: how much lesse shall it bee meete
               for any worke, when the fire hath consumed it,    was of fine linen, and silke, and broydred worke:
               and it is burnt?  6  Therefore thus sayth the Lord  thou didest eate fine floure, and honie and oyle,
               God, As the vine tree, that is among the trees    and thou wast very beautifull, and thou didest

               be consumed, so will I giue the inhabitants of    spred among the heathen for thy beautie: for
               Ierusalem. And I will set my face against them:   it was perfite through my beautie which I had

               they shall go out from one fire, and another fire  set vpon thee, saith the Lord God.  15 Nowe thou
               shall consume them: and ye shall know, that I am  didest trust in thine owne beautie, and playedst

               the Lord, when I set my face against them, And    the harlot, because of thy renowne, and hast
               when I make the lande waste, because they haue    powred out thy fornications on euery one that
               greatly offended, saith the Lord God.             passed by, thy desire was to him.   16  And thou
                                                                 didest take thy garments, and deckedst thine
                                     16                          hie places with diuers colours, and playedst the

               God vnto Ierusalem, Thine habitation and thy      my siluer, which I had giuen thee, and madest
               kindred is of the land of Canaan: thy father was  to thy selfe images of men, and didest commit
               an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. And in     whoredome with them,    18 And tookest thy broy-

               not cut: thou wast not washed in water to soften  hast set mine oyle and my perfume before them.
               thee: thou wast not salted with salt, nor swadled  19 My meate also, which I gaue thee, as fine floure,
               in cloutes.  5  None eye pitied thee to do any of oyle, and honie, wherewith I fedde thee, thou
               these vnto thee, for to haue compassion vpon hast euen set it before them for a sweete sauour:
               thee, but thou wast cast out in the open fielde to thus it was, saith the Lord God.  20 Moreouer thou
               the contempt of thy person in ye day that thou    hast taken thy sonnes and thy daughters, whome
               wast borne.  6  And when I passed by thee, I saw  thou hast borne vnto me, and these hast thou
               thee polluted in thine owne blood, and I said vnto  sacrificed vnto them, to be deuoured: is this thy
               thee, whe thou wast in thy blood, Thou shalt liue:  whoredome a small matter?   21  That thou hast
               euen when thou wast in thy blood, I saide vnto    slaine my children, and deliuered them to cause
