WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:01.100 Chapter 23, 00:30.120 --> 00:32.160 And they bear sons and daughters. 00:33.260 --> 00:34.460 Thus were their names. 00:35.580 --> 00:39.820 Samaria is Ahola, and Jerusalem Ahuleba. 00:40.380 --> 00:42.880 And Ahola played the harlot when she was mine. 00:43.420 --> 00:47.420 And she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, which were 00:47.420 --> 00:51.740 clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, 00:52.100 --> 00:53.640 horsemen riding upon horses. 00:54.140 --> 00:58.540 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen 00:58.540 --> 00:59.440 men of Assyria. 00:59.440 --> 01:04.820 And with all in whom she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 01:05.720 --> 01:10.900 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt, for in her youth they lay with 01:10.900 --> 01:11.140 her. 01:11.440 --> 01:16.260 And they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon 01:16.260 --> 01:16.540 her. 01:17.200 --> 01:21.860 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the 01:21.860 --> 01:23.880 Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 01:24.560 --> 01:26.400 These discovered her nakedness. 01:26.400 --> 01:31.220 They took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword. 01:31.800 --> 01:36.660 And she became famous among women, for they had executed judgment upon her. 01:37.620 --> 01:42.900 And when her sister Aholaba saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate 01:42.900 --> 01:47.460 love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. 01:48.000 --> 01:52.380 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed 01:52.380 --> 01:57.780 most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 01:58.420 --> 02:03.500 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, and that she 02:03.500 --> 02:04.640 increased her whoredoms. 02:05.180 --> 02:09.300 For when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans 02:09.300 --> 02:14.620 portrayed with vermilion, girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in 02:14.620 --> 02:20.060 dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to after the manner of the 02:20.060 --> 02:23.660 Babylonians, of Chaldea, the land of their nativity. 02:23.660 --> 02:29.980 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers 02:29.980 --> 02:31.380 unto them into Chaldea. 02:32.060 --> 02:36.880 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with 02:36.880 --> 02:41.640 their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from 02:41.640 --> 02:41.920 them. 02:42.460 --> 02:46.040 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness. 02:46.640 --> 02:51.520 Then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her 02:51.520 --> 02:51.820 sister. 02:51.820 --> 02:56.600 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her 02:56.600 --> 02:59.880 youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 03:00.500 --> 03:04.820 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, 03:05.180 --> 03:07.680 and whose issue is like the issue of horses. 03:08.580 --> 03:13.360 Thus thou call'st to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy 03:13.360 --> 03:16.480 teats by the Egyptians, for the paps of thy youth. 03:17.320 --> 03:23.020 Therefore, O Ahalubba, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will raise up thy lovers 03:23.020 --> 03:28.140 against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against 03:28.140 --> 03:29.920 thee on every side. 03:30.800 --> 03:37.560 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pechod, and Shoah, and Koah, and all the 03:37.560 --> 03:42.100 Assyrians with them, all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, 03:42.440 --> 03:45.920 great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses. 03:46.540 --> 03:51.020 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons and wheels, and with an 03:51.020 --> 03:55.280 assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet 03:55.280 --> 03:55.980 round about. 03:56.580 --> 04:00.900 And I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to 04:00.900 --> 04:01.520 their judgments. 04:02.220 --> 04:07.480 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee. 04:08.020 --> 04:13.000 They shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnants shall fall by the 04:13.000 --> 04:13.320 sword. 04:14.060 --> 04:17.500 They shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be 04:17.500 --> 04:18.580 devoured by the fire. 04:19.320 --> 04:23.680 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels. 04:24.640 --> 04:29.160 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from 04:29.160 --> 04:34.460 the land of Egypt, so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember 04:34.460 --> 04:35.460 Egypt any more. 04:36.260 --> 04:41.160 For thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them 04:41.160 --> 04:46.300 whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated. 04:47.060 --> 04:51.380 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labor, 04:51.800 --> 04:53.680 and shall leave thee naked and bare. 04:54.320 --> 04:59.300 And the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy 04:59.300 --> 04:59.800 whoredoms. 05:00.580 --> 05:05.160 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a-whoring after the 05:05.160 --> 05:07.980 heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols. 05:08.940 --> 05:10.960 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister. 05:10.960 --> 05:14.340 Therefore will I give her cup into thine hand. 05:15.180 --> 05:20.460 Thus saith the Lord God, Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large. 05:21.000 --> 05:23.480 Thou shalt be left to scorn and had in derision. 05:24.020 --> 05:25.180 It containeth much. 05:25.780 --> 05:29.940 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and 05:29.940 --> 05:32.960 desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 05:33.780 --> 05:38.800 Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, 05:38.800 --> 05:43.580 and pluck off thine own breasts, for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. 05:44.360 --> 05:48.220 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Because thou hast forgotten me, 05:48.520 --> 05:54.900 and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy 05:54.900 --> 05:55.420 whoredoms. 05:56.240 --> 06:03.300 The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, Wilt thou judge Ahola and 06:03.300 --> 06:03.780 Aholaba? 06:04.460 --> 06:08.660 Yea, declare unto them their abominations, that they have committed adultery, 06:09.100 --> 06:13.620 and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, 06:13.940 --> 06:18.560 and have also caused their sons, whom they bear unto me, to pass for them 06:18.560 --> 06:20.800 through the fire, to devour them. 06:21.380 --> 06:23.860 Moreover this they have done unto me. 06:24.560 --> 06:29.220 They have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. 06:29.620 --> 06:34.960 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day 06:34.960 --> 06:36.820 into my sanctuary to profane it. 06:37.440 --> 06:40.640 And, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house. 06:41.480 --> 06:46.660 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger 06:46.660 --> 06:47.200 was sent. 06:47.560 --> 06:52.740 And, lo, they came, for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintest thy eyes, 06:53.260 --> 06:57.580 and deckest thyself with ornaments, and sattest upon a stately bed, 06:57.740 --> 07:02.460 and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and 07:02.460 --> 07:03.040 mine oil. 07:03.880 --> 07:07.520 And a voice of a multitude, being at ease, was with her. 07:07.940 --> 07:11.860 And with the men of the common sort were brought sabians from the wilderness, 07:12.520 --> 07:16.520 which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads. 07:17.180 --> 07:22.220 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms 07:22.220 --> 07:23.960 with her, and she with them? 07:24.760 --> 07:29.820 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth a harlot. 07:30.520 --> 07:36.460 So went they in unto Aholah, and unto Aholibah, the lewd women, and the 07:36.460 --> 07:37.100 righteous men. 07:37.540 --> 07:42.760 They shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of 07:42.760 --> 07:47.900 women that shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 07:48.580 --> 07:53.920 For thus saith the Lord God, I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them 07:53.920 --> 07:55.420 to be removed and spoiled. 07:55.420 --> 07:59.960 And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their 07:59.960 --> 08:00.340 swords. 08:00.920 --> 08:04.840 They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with 08:04.840 --> 08:05.180 fire. 08:06.220 --> 08:12.180 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not 08:12.180 --> 08:13.700 to do after your lewdness. 08:14.200 --> 08:18.540 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of 08:18.540 --> 08:22.560 your idols, and ye shall know that I am the Lord God. 08:22.560 --> 08:22.880 Amen.
