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.
