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

Your shame shall be uncovered, your reproaches shall be brought to light; I will exact of you due vengeance, I will no longer deliver you to men.

And if you should say in your heart, Why have these things happened to me? Because of the abundance of your iniquity have your skirts been discovered, that your heels might be exposed.

I also will expose your skirts upon your face, and your shame shall be seen;

Therefore, behold, I [will] gather all your lovers with whom you have consorted, and all whom you have loved, with all whom you hated; and I will gather them against you round about, and will expose your wickedness to them, and they shall see all your shame.

And I will deliver you into their hands, and they shall break down your house of harlotry, and destroy your high place; and they shall strip you of your garments, and shall take your proud ornaments, and leave you naked and bare.

And they shall strip you of your clothing, and take [away] your ornaments.

Wherefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.

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 [as for] your birth in the day in which you were born, you did not bind your breasts, and you were not washed in water, neither were you salted with salt, neither were you swathed in swaddling-bands.

And I passed by to you, and saw you polluted in your blood; and I said to you, [Let there be] life out of your blood;

And I passed by you and saw you, and behold, [it was] your time and a time of resting; and I spread My wings over you, and covered your shame, and swore [an oath] to you; and I entered into covenant with you, says the Lord, and you became Mine.

[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.

[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses; and the villages shall be caves forever, the joy of wild donkeys, shepherds' pastures;

The land mourns; Lebanon is ashamed; Sharon has become a marsh; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Carmel.

The city of Your holiness has become desolate, Zion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.

Therefore hear the word of the Lord: thus says the Lord, Have I been a wilderness or a dry land to Israel? Why have My people said, We will not be ruled over, and will not come to You anymore?

I saw, and behold, Carmel was desert, and all the cities were burnt with fire at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of His fierce anger they were utterly destroyed.

Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have defiled My portion, they have made My desirable portion a trackless wilderness.

For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to Me, [and] the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited;

And now they have planted her in the wilderness, in a dry land.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the nations, and will plead with you there face to face.

As I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I judge you, says the Lord.

And they said not, Where is the Lord, who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who guided us in the wilderness, in an untried and trackless land, in a land in which no man has entered, and no man has dwelt in?

And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert. he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salty land which is not inhabited.

Her cities have become like a dry and trackless land; not so much as one [soul] shall dwell in it, neither shall a son of man lodge in it.

And the people thirsted there for water, and there the people murmured against Moses, saying, Why is this? Have you brought us up out of Egypt to slay us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

And he was very thirsty, and wept before the Lord, and said, You have been well pleased to grant this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

Behold, the days come, says the Lord, that I will send forth a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the word of the Lord.

In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst;
