For you have been so exceedingly contemptuous as to repeat your ways; but you shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were ashamed of Assyria.

And what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, and adorn yourself with golden ornaments; though you adorn your eyes with paint, your beauty [shall be] in vain. Your lovers have rejected you, they seek your life.

Go up to Lebanon and cry; and utter your voice to Bashan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.

The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.

And behold, all the women that are left in the house of the king of Judah were brought forth to the princes of the king of Babylon. And they said, The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and will prevail against you; and they shall cause your foot to slide and fail, they have turned back from you.

BETH. She weeps sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks; and there is none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they have become her enemies.

KOPH. I called my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and my elders failed in the city, for they sought meat that they might restore their souls, and found it not.

Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,

And their mother went a-whoring: she that bore them disgraced [them]: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, and my garments, and my linen clothes, my oil and my necessaries.

And now I will expose her uncleanness before her lovers, and no one shall by any means deliver her out of My hand.

And I will utterly destroy her vines, and her fig trees, all things of which she said, These are my hire which my lovers have given me: and I will make them a testimony, and the wild beasts of the field, and the birds of the sky, and the reptiles of the earth shall devour them.

Therefore, behold, I [will] cause her to err, and will make her as desolate, and will speak comfortably to her.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord, [that] she shall call Me, My husband, and shall no longer call me Baalam.

And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who not yet have received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the Beast.

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, and elect, and faithful."

And the ten horns which you saw, and the Beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her up with fire.

And the woman whom you saw is that great city which has royal rule over the kings of the earth."

Why do You hide Yourself from me, and regard me [as] Your enemy?

For You have written evil things against me, and You have compassed me with the sins of my youth.

[I am as] that which grows old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.

[ 16:10] In His anger He has cast me down; He has gnashed His teeth upon me: the weapons of His robbers have fallen upon me.

And He has dreadfully handled me in anger, and has counted me for an enemy.

They attacked me also without mercy: You have scourged me with a strong hand.

HE. The Lord has become as an enemy; He has overwhelmed Israel as in the sea, He has overwhelmed her palaces; He has destroyed her strongholds, and has multiplied the afflicted and humbled ones to the daughter of Judah.

For I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Judah. And I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.

Your sins have abounded beyond the multitude of your iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to you.

Therefore has a lion out of the forest smitten them, and a wolf has destroyed them, even to [their] houses, and a leopard has watched against their cities. All that go forth from them shall be hunted, for they have multiplied their ungodliness, they have strengthened themselves in their backslidings.

For we have perished in Your anger, and in Your wrath we have been troubled.

You have set our transgressions before You; our age is in the light of Your countenance.

And it came to pass as they were striking, that I fell upon my face and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! Will You destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out Your wrath upon Jerusalem?

Therefore My eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads.
