Ezekiel
Chapter
16 (Continued)
35
Therefore, O harlot,
hear
the word/'doctrinal communication' {dabar} of Jehovah/God."
36-38
Thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"Because
your filthiness was poured out,
and
your nakedness discovered
through
your whoredoms with your lovers,
and
with all the idols of your abominations,
and
by the blood of your children,
whom
you did give/sacrifice unto them {the idols} . . . 37
behold,
therefore
I
will gather all your lovers,
with
whom you have taken pleasure,
and
all those who you have loved,
with
all those who you have hated.
I
will even gather them round about against you,
and
will discover your nakedness unto them,
that
they may see all your nakedness.
38
And I will judge you . . .
as
women who break wedlock
and
one who sheds blood are judged.
And
I will give you blood in fury and jealousy."
{Judgment
of the 5th Cycle of Discipline - Prophecy of Military Conquest}
39-41
"And I will also give you into their hand,
and
they shall throw down your eminent place,
and
shall break down your high places.
They
shall strip you also of your clothes,
and
shall take your fair jewels,
and
leave you naked and bare.
40
They shall also bring up an company against you,
and
they shall stone you with stones,
and
thrust you through with their swords.
41
And they shall burn your houses with fire,
and
execute judgments upon you
in
the sight of many women.
And
I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot,
and
you also shall give no hire any more."
42-43a
"So will I make My fury toward you to rest,
and
My zeal shall depart from you,
and
I will be quiet,
and
will be no more angry.
43a
Because you have not remembered the days of your youth,
but
have fretted Me in all these things . . .
behold,
therefore I also will recompense your Way
upon
your head,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.
43b-47
"And you shall not commit this lewdness
above
all your abominations.
44
Behold, every one that uses proverbs
shall
use this proverb against you, saying,
'As
is the mother, so is her daughter.'
45
You are your mother's daughter,
who
loathed her husband and her children.
And
you are the sister of your sisters,
who
loathed their husbands and their children.
Your
mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46
And your elder sister is Samaria,
she
and her daughters who dwell at your left hand.
And
your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand . . .
is
Sodom and her daughters.
47
Yet have you not Walked after their Ways,
nor
done after their abominations,
but,
as if that were a very little thing,
you
were corrupted more than they in all your Ways."
48-58
"As I live," said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"Sodom,
your sister, has not done,
she
nor her daughters,
as
you have done,
you
and your daughters.
49
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom,
pride,
fullness of bread,
and
abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters,
neither
did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50
And they were haughty/arrogant,
and
committed abomination before Me.
Therefore
I took them away as I saw good.
51
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins.
But
you have multiplied your abominations more than they,
and
have justified your sisters
in
all your abominations which you have done.
52
You also, who have judged your sisters,
bear
your own shame
for
your sins that you have committed more abominable than they.
They
are more righteous than you.
Yes,
be you confounded also,
and
bear your shame,
in
that you have justified your sisters.
53
When I shall bring again their captivity,
the
captivity of Sodom and her daughters,
and
the captivity of Samaria and her daughters,
then
will I bring again the captivity of your captives
in
the midst of them.
54
That you may bear your own shame,
and
may be confounded in all that you have done,
in
that you are a comfort unto them.
55
When your sisters,
Sodom
and her daughters,
shall
return to their former estate,
and
Samaria and her daughters
shall
return to their former estate,
then
you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56
For your sister Sodom
was
not mentioned by your mouth
in
the day of your pride.
57
Before your wickedness was discovered,
as
at the time of your reproach of the daughters of Syria,
and
all that are round about her,
the
daughters of the Philistines,
which
despise you round about.
58
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,"
said
{'amar} Jehovah/God.
59-63
For thus said the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah,
"I
will even deal with you as you have done,
who
have despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
{Faithfulness
of God - He disciplines but ALWAYS Loves Believers}
60~~Nevertheless
I will remember My covenant with you
in
the days of your youth,
and
I will establish unto you
an
everlasting covenant.
{As
Long as You Live You Can Rebound and Recover}
61~~Then
you shall remember your Ways,
and
be ashamed,
when
you shall receive your sisters,
your
elder and your younger.
And
I will give them unto you for daughters,
but
not by your covenant.
62~~And
I will establish My covenant with you.
And
you shall know that I am Jehovah/God.
63~~That
you may remember,
and
not be confused,
and
never open your mouth any more
about
your shame,
{when you rebound God forgets it! SO MUST YOU! Forget it!
don't tell everyone around you what a sinner you are! We ALL are!}
when
I am pacified toward you
{reconciliation - peace between man and God possible from the
Work of Christ on the Cross}
for
all that you have done,"
said
the Lord/'Adonay God/Jehovah.
