16:34. And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in
thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication, for
in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary
hath been done in thee.
16:35. Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.
16:36. Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out,
and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and
with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom
thou gavest them:
16:37. Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast
taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast
hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and
will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy
nakedness.
16:38. And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood
are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
16:39. And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy
thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee
of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and
leave thee naked, and full of disgrace.
16:40. And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone
thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords.
16:41. And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute
judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease
from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more.
16:42. And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall
depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more.
16:43. Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast
provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned all thy
ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to
thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations.
16:44. Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this
against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter.
16:45. Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and
her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their
husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father
an Amorrhite.
16:46. And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell
at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand
is Sodom, and her daughters.
16:47. But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a
little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done
almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways.
16:48. As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her
daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters.
16:49. Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness
of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters:
and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and the poor.
This was the iniquity of Sodom, etc... That is, these were the steps by
which the Sodomites came to fall into those abominations for which they
were destroyed. For pride, gluttony, and idleness are the highroad to
all kinds of lust; especially when they are accompanied with a neglect
of the works of mercy.
16:50. And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me:
and I took them away as thou hast seen.
16:51. And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed
them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy
abominations which thou hast done.
16:52. Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast
surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for
they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and
bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters.
