Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 16:1 ¶ Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

 16:1 ¶ Again the wordº of Yahwehº cameº untoº me, saying,ºº

 16:2 Son of man, testify to Jerusalem [of] her iniquities;

 16:2 Sonº of man,º causeº Jerusalemº to knowººº her abominations,º

 16:3 and thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord to Jerusalem; Thy root and thy birth are of the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}: thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite{gr.Chettite}.

 16:3 And say,ºº Thusº saithºº Adonaiº Yahwehº unto Jerusalem;º Thy birthº and thy nativityº [is] of the landºº of Canaan;º thy fatherº [was] an Amorite,º and thy motherº an Hittite.ºº

 16:4 And [as for] thy birth in the day wherein thou wast born, thou didst not bind thy breasts, and thou wast not washed in water, neither wast thou salted with salt, neither wast thou swathed in swaddling-bands.

 16:4 And [as for] thy nativity,º in the dayº thou wast bornºº thy navelº was notº cut,ºº neitherº wast thou washedºº in waterº to suppleº [thee]; thou wast notº saltedºº at all,ºº norº swaddledºº at all.ºº

 16:5 Nor did mine eye pity thee, to do for thee one of all these things, to feel at all for thee; but thou wast cast out on the face of the field, because of the deformity of thy person, in the day wherein thou wast born.

 16:5 Noneº eyeº pitiedººº thee, to doºº anyº of theseºº unto thee, to have compassionºº uponº thee; but thou wast cast outºº inº the openº field,º to the lothingº of thy person,º in the dayº that thou wast born.ºº

 16:6 ¶ And I passed by to thee, and saw thee polluted in thy blood; and I said to thee, [Let there be] life out of thy blood:

 16:6 ¶ And when I passedºº byº thee, and sawºº thee pollutedºº in thine own blood,º I saidºº unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood,º Live;ºº yea, I saidºº unto thee [when thou wast] in thy blood,º Live.ºº

 16:7 increase; I have made thee as the springing grass of the field. So thou didst increase and grow, and didst enter into great cities: thy breasts were set, and thy hair grew, whereas thou wast naked and bare.

 16:7 I have causedºº thee to multiplyº as the budº of the field,º and thou hast increasedºº and waxen great,ºº and thou art comeºº to excellentº ornaments:º [thy] breastsº are fashioned,ºº and thine hairº is grown,ºº whereas thouº [wast] nakedº and bare.º

 16:8 And I passed by thee and saw thee, and, behold, [it was] thy time and a time of resting; and I spread my wings over thee, and covered thy shame, and swear to thee: and I entered into covenant with thee, saith the Lord, and thou becamest mine.

 16:8 Now when I passedºº byº thee, and lookedºº uponº thee, behold,º thy timeº [was] the timeº of love;º and I spreadºº my skirtº overº thee, and coveredºº thy nakedness:º yea, I swareºº unto thee, and enteredºº into a covenantº withº thee, saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh,º and thou becamestº mine.

 16:9 And I washed thee in water, and washed thy blood from thee, and anointed thee with oil.

 16:9 Then washedºº I thee with water;º yea, I throughly washed awayºº thy bloodº fromºº thee, and I anointedºº thee with oil.º

 16:10 And I clothed thee with embroidered [garments], and clothed thee beneath with purple, and girded thee with fine linen, and clothed thee with silk,

 16:10 I clothedºº thee also with broidered work,º and shodºº thee with badgers' skin,º and I girdedºº thee aboutº with fine linen,º and I coveredºº thee with silk.º

 16:11 and decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thine hands, and a necklace on thy neck.

 16:11 I deckedºº thee also with ornaments,º and I putºº braceletsº uponº thy hands,º and a chainº onº thy neck.º

 16:12 And I put a pendant on thy nostril, and rings in thine ears, and a crown of glory on thine head.

 16:12 And I putºº a jewelº onº thy forehead,º and earringsº inº thine ears,º and a beautifulº crownº upon thine head.º

 16:13 So thou wast adorned with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and variegated work: thou didst eat fine flour, and oil, and honey, and didst become extremely beautiful.

 16:13 Thus wast thou deckedºº with goldº and silver;º and thy raimentº [was of] fine linen,ºº and silk,º and broidered work;º thou didst eatºº fine flour,º and honey,º and oil:º and thou wast exceedingº beautiful,ººº and thou didst prosperºº into a kingdom.º

 16:14 And thy name went forth among the nations for thy beauty: because it was perfected with elegance, [and] in the comeliness which I put upon thee, saith the Lord.

 16:14 And thy renownº went forthºº among the heathenº for thy beauty:º forº itº [was] perfectº through my comeliness,º whichº I had putºº uponº thee, saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh.º

 16:15 ¶ Thou didst trust in thy beauty, and didst go a-whoring because of thy renown, and didst pour out thy fornication on every passer by.

 16:15 ¶ But thou didst trustºº in thine own beauty,º and playedst the harlotºº becauseº of thy renown,º and pouredst outººº thy fornicationsº onº every oneº that passed by;ºº his it was.º

 16:16 And thou didst take of thy garments, and madest to thyself idols of needlework, and didst go a-whoring after them; therefore thou shalt never come in, nor shall [the like] take place.

 16:16 And of thy garmentsºº thou didst take,ºº and deckedstºº thy high placesº with divers colours,ºº and playedst the harlotºº thereupon:º [the like things] shall notº come,ºº neitherº shall it beº [so].

 16:17 And thou tookest thy fair ornaments of my gold and of my silver, of what I gave thee, and thou madest to thyself male images, and thou didst commit whoredom with them.

 16:17 Thou hast also takenºº thy fairº jewelsº of my goldºº and of my silver,ºº whichº I had givenºº thee, and madestºº to thyself imagesº of men,º and didst commit whoredomºº with them,

 16:18 And thou didst take thy variegated apparel and didst clothe them, and thou didst set before them mine oil and mine incense.

 16:18 And tookestºº thy broideredºº garments,º and coveredstºº them: and thou hast setºº mine oilº and mine incenseº beforeº them.

 16:19 And [thou tookest] my bread which I gave thee, ([yea] I fed thee with fine flour and oil and honey) and didst set them before them for a sweet-smelling savour: yea, it was so, saith the Lord.

 16:19 My meatº also whichº I gaveºº thee, fine flour,º and oil,º and honey,º [wherewith] I fedºº thee, thou hast even setºº it beforeº them for a sweetº savour:º and [thus] it was,º saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh.º

 16:20 And thou tookest thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou borest, land didst sacrifice [these] to them to be destroyed. Thou didst go a-whoring as [if that were] little,

 16:20 Moreover thou hast takenººº thy sonsº and thy daughters,º whomº thou hast borneºº unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedºº unto them to be devoured.ºº [Is this] ofº thy whoredomsº a small matter,º

 16:21 and didst slay thy children, and gavest them up in offering them to them for an expiation.

 16:21 That thou hast slainººº my children,º and deliveredºº them to cause them to pass throughºº [the fire] for them?

 16:22 This is beyond all thy fornication, and thou didst not remember thine infancy, when thou wast naked and bare, [and] didst live [though] defiled in thy blood.

 16:22 And in allº thine abominationsº and thy whoredomsº thou hast notº rememberedººº the daysº of thy youth,º when thou wastº nakedº and bare,º [and] wastº pollutedºº in thy blood.º

 16:23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, saith the Lord,

 16:23 And it came to passº afterº allº thy wickedness,º (woe,º woeº unto thee! saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh;)º

 16:24 that thou didst build thyself a house of fornication, and didst make thyself a public place in every street;

 16:24 [That] thou hast also builtºº unto thee an eminent place,º and hast madeºº thee an high placeº in everyº street.º

 16:25 and on the head of every way thou didst set up thy fornications, and didst defile thy beauty, and didst open thy feet to every passer by, and didst multiply thy fornication.

 16:25 Thou hast builtºº thy high placeº atº everyº headº of the way,º and hast madeº thy beautyº to be abhorred,ºº and hast openedººº thy feetº to every oneº that passed by,ºº and multipliedººº thy whoredoms.º

 16:26 And thou didst go a-whoring after the children of Mizraim{gr.Egypt} thy neighbors, great of flesh; and didst go a-whoring, often to provoke me to anger.

 16:26 Thou hast also committed fornicationºº withº the Egyptiansºº thy neighbours,º greatº of flesh;º and hast increasedººº thy whoredoms,º to provoke me to anger.ºº

 16:27 And if I stretch out my hand against thee, then will I abolish thy statutes, and deliver [thee] up to the wills of them that hate thee, [even to] the daughters of the Philistines that turned thee aside from the way wherein thou sinned.

 16:27 Behold,º therefore I have stretched outºº my handº overº thee, and have diminishedºº thine ordinaryº [food], and deliveredºº thee unto the willº of them that hateºº thee, the daughtersº of the Philistines,º which are ashamedºº of thy lewdº way.ºº

 16:28 And thou didst go a-whoring to the daughters of Asshur{gr.Assur}, and not even thus wast thou satisfied; yea, thou didst go a-whoring, and wast not satisfied.

 16:28 Thou hast played the whoreºº also withº the Assyrians,ºº becauseº thou wast unsatiable;ººººº yea, thou hast played the harlotºº with them, and yetº couldest notº be satisfied.ºº

 16:29 And thou didst multiply thy covenants with the land of the Chaldeans; and not even with these wast thou satisfied.

 16:29 Thou hast moreover multipliedººº thy fornicationº inº the landº of Canaanº unto Chaldea;º and yetº thou wast notº satisfiedºº herewith.º

 16:30 Why should I make a covenant with thy daughter, saith the Lord, while thou doest all these things, the works of a harlot? and thou hast gone a-whoring in a threefold degree with thy daughters.

 16:30 Howº weakºº is thine heart,º saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh,º seeing thou doestººº allº theseº [things], the workº of an imperiousº whorishºº woman;º

 16:31 Thou hast built a house of harlotry in every top of a way, and hast set up thine high place in every street; and thou didst become as a harlot gathering hires.

 16:31 In that thou buildestºº thine eminent placeº in the headº of everyº way,º and makestºº thine high placeº in everyº street;º and hast notº beenº as an harlot,ºº in that thou scornestºº hire;º

 16:32 An adulteress resembles thee, taking rewards of her husband.

 16:32 [But as] a wifeº that committeth adultery,ºº [which] takethººº strangersºº insteadº of her husband!º

 16:33 She has even given rewards to all that went a-whoring after her, and thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, yea, thou didst load them with rewards, that they should come to thee from every side for thy fornication.

 16:33 They giveºº giftsº to allº whores:ºº but thouº givestººº thy giftsº to allº thy lovers,ºº and hirestºº them, that they may comeºº untoº thee on every sideºº for thy whoredom.º

 16:34 And there has happened in thee perverseness in thy fornication beyond [other] women, and they have committed fornication with thee, in that thou givest hires over and above, and hires were not given to thee; and [thus] perverseness happened in thee.

 16:34 And the contraryº isº in thee fromº [other] womenº in thy whoredoms,º whereas noneº followethº thee to commit whoredoms:ºº and in that thou givestºº a reward,º and noº rewardº is givenºº unto thee, therefore thou artºº contrary.º

 16:35 ¶ Therefore, harlot, hear the word of the Lord:

 16:35 ¶ Wherefore,º O harlot,ºº hearºº the wordº of Yahweh:º

 16:36 Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast poured forth thy money, therefore thy shame shall be discovered in thy harlotry with thy lovers, and [with] regard to all the imaginations of thine iniquities, and for the blood of thy children which thou hast given to them.

 16:36 Thusº saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh;º Becauseº thy filthinessº was poured out,ºº and thy nakednessº discoveredºº through thy whoredomsº withº thy lovers,ºº and withº allº the idolsº of thy abominations,º and by the bloodº of thy children,º whichº thou didst giveºº unto them;

 16:37 Therefore, behold, I [will] gather all thy lovers with whom thou hast consorted, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou didst hate; and I will gather them against thee round about, and will expose thy wickedness to them, and they shall see all thy shame.

 16:37 Behold,º thereforeº I will gatherººº allº thy lovers,ºº withº whomº thou hast taken pleasure,ºº and allº [them] thatº thou hast loved,ºº withº allº [them] thatº thou hast hated;ºº I will even gatherºº them round aboutºº againstº thee, and will discoverºº thy nakednessº untoº them, that they may seeººº allº thy nakedness.º

 16:38 And I will be avenged on thee with the vengeance of an adulteress, and I will bring upon thee blood of fury and jealousy.

 16:38 And I will judgeºº thee, as women that break wedlockºº and shedºº bloodº are judged;º and I will giveºº thee bloodº in furyº and jealousy.º

 16:39 And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall break down thy house of harlotry, and destroy thine high place; and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take thy proud ornaments, and leave thee naked and bare.

 16:39 And I will also giveºº thee into their hand,º and they shall throw downºº thine eminent place,º and shall break downºº thy high places:º they shall stripºº thee also of thy clothes,º and shall takeºº thy fairº jewels,º and leaveººº thee nakedº and bare.º

 16:40 And they shall bring multitudes upon thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and pierce thee with their swords.

 16:40 They shall also bring upºº a companyº againstº thee, and they shall stoneºº thee with stones,º and thrust thee throughºº with their swords.º

 16:41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and shall execute vengeance on thee in the sight of many women: and I will turn thee back from harlotry, and I will no more give [thee] rewards.

 16:41 And they shall burnºº thine housesº with fire,º and executeºº judgmentsº upon thee in the sightº of manyº women:º and I will cause thee to ceaseºº from playing the harlot,ººº and thou alsoº shalt giveºº noº hireº any more.º

 16:42 So will I slacken my fury against thee, and my jealousy shall be removed from thee, and I will rest, and be no more careful [for thee].

 16:42 So will I make my furyº toward thee to rest,ºº and my jealousyº shall departºº fromº thee, and I will be quiet,ºº and will be noº moreº angry.ºº

 16:43 Because thou didst not remember thine infancy, and thou didst grieve me in all these things; therefore, behold, I have recompensed thy ways upon thine head, saith the Lord: for thus hast thou wrought ungodliness above all thine [other] iniquities.

 16:43 Becauseºº thou hast notº rememberedººº the daysº of thy youth,º but hast frettedºº me in allº theseº [things]; behold,º therefore Iº alsoº will recompenseºº thy wayº upon [thine] head,º saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh:º and thou shalt notº commitººº this lewdnessº aboveº allº thine abominations.º

 16:44 ¶ These are all the things they have spoken against thee in a proverb, saying,

 16:44 ¶ Behold,º every oneº that useth proverbsºº shall use [this] proverbºº againstº thee, saying,ºº As [is] the mother,º [so is] her daughter.º

 16:45 As is the mother, so is thy mother's daughter: thou art she that has rejected her husband and her children; and the sisters of thy sisters have rejected their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite{gr.Chettite}, and [your] father an Amorite.

 16:45 Thouº [art] thy mother'sº daughter,º that lothethºº her husbandº and her children;º and thouº [art] the sisterº of thy sisters,º whichº lothedºº their husbandsºº and their children:º your motherº [was] an Hittite,ºº and your fatherº an Amorite.º

 16:46 Your elder sister who dwells on thy left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and thy younger sister, that dwells on the right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

 16:46 And thine elderº sisterº [is] Samaria,º sheº and her daughtersº that dwellºº atº thy left hand:º and thy youngerº sister,º that dwellethºº at thy right hand,ºº [is] Sodomº and her daughters.º

 16:47 Yet notwithstanding thou hast not walked in their ways, neither hast thou done according to their iniquities within a little, but thou hast exceeded them in all thy ways.

 16:47 Yet hast thou notº walkedºº after their ways,º nor doneºº after their abominations:º but, as [if that were] a veryº littleººº [thing], thou wast corruptedºº more thanº theyº in allº thy ways.º

 16:48 [As] I live, saith the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as thou and thy daughters have done.

 16:48 [As] Iº live,º saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh,º Sodomº thy sisterº hath notº done,ºº sheº nor her daughters,º asº thou hast done,ºº thouº and thy daughters.º

 16:49 Moreover this was the sin of thy sister Sodom, pride: she and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of bread [and] in abundance: this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy.

 16:49 Behold,º thisº wasº the iniquityº of thy sisterº Sodom,º pride,º fulnessº of bread,º and abundanceº of idlenessºº wasº in her and in her daughters,º neitherº did she strengthenºº the handº of the poorº and needy.º

 16:50 And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw [fit].

 16:50 And they were haughty,ºº and committedºº abominationº beforeº me: therefore I took them awayººº asº I sawºº [good].

 16:51 Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine iniquities beyond them, and thou hast justified thy sisters in all thine iniquities which thou hast committed.

 16:51 Neitherº hath Samariaº committedºº halfº of thy sins;º but thou hast multipliedººº thine abominationsº more thanº they,º and hast justifiedººº thy sistersº in allº thine abominationsº whichº thou hast done.ºº

 16:52 Thou therefore bear thy punishment, for that thou hast corrupted thy sisters by thy sins which thou hast committed beyond them; and thou hast made them [appear] more righteous than thyself: thou therefore be ashamed, and bear thy dishonour, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

 16:52 Thouº also,º whichº hast judgedºº thy sisters,º bearºº thine own shameº for thy sinsº thatº thou hast committed more abominableºº thanº they:º they are more righteousºº thanº thou: yea, be thou confoundedººº also,º and bearºº thy shame,º in that thou hast justifiedºº thy sisters.º

 16:53 And I will turn their captivity, [even] the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn thy captivity in the midst of them:

 16:53 When I shall bring againººº their captivity,ººº the captivityºº of Sodomº and her daughters,º and the captivityºº of Samariaº and her daughters,º then [will I bring again] the captivityºº of thy captivesº in the midstº of them:

 16:54 that thou mayest bear thy punishment, and be dishonoured for all that thou hast done in provoking me to anger.

 16:54 Thatº thou mayest bearºº thine own shame,º and mayest be confoundedºº in allºº thatº thou hast done,ºº in that thou art a comfortºº unto them.

 16:55 And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall be restored as they were at the beginning, and thou and thy daughters shall be restored as ye were at the beginning.

 16:55 When thy sisters,º Sodomº and her daughters,º shall returnºº to their former estate,º and Samariaº and her daughtersº shall returnºº to their former estate,º then thouº and thy daughtersº shall returnºº to your former estate.º

 16:56 And surely thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the days of thy pride:

 16:56 For thy sisterº Sodomº wasº notº mentionedº by thy mouthº in the dayº of thy pride,º

 16:57 before thy wickedness was discovered, even now thou art the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, [even] of the daughters of the Philistines that compass thee round about.

 16:57 Beforeº thy wickednessº was discovered,ºº as atº the timeº of [thy] reproachº of the daughtersº of Syria,º and allº [that are] round aboutº her, the daughtersº of the Philistines,º which despiseºº thee round about.ºº

 16:58 [As for] thine ungodliness and thine iniquities, thou hast borne them, saith the Lord.

 16:58 Thouº hast borneººº thy lewdnessº and thine abominations,º saithºº Yahweh.º

 16:59 Thus saith the Lord; I will even do to thee as thou hast done, as thou hast dealt shamefully in these things to transgress my covenant.

 16:59 Forº thusº saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh;º I will even dealºº withº thee asº thou hast done,ºº whichº hast despisedºº the oathº in breakingºº the covenant.º

 16:60 ¶ And I will remember my covenant [made] with thee in the days of thine infancy, and I will establish to thee an everlasting covenant.

 16:60 ¶ Nevertheless Iº will rememberººº my covenantº withº thee in the daysº of thy youth,º and I will establishºº unto thee an everlastingº covenant.º

 16:61 Then thou shalt remember thy way, and shalt be utterly dishonoured when thou receivest thine elder sisters with thy younger ones: and I will give them to thee for building up, but not by thy covenant.

 16:61 Then thou shalt rememberººº thy ways,º and be ashamed,ºº when thou shalt receiveººº thy sisters,º thine elderº and thy younger:º and I will giveºº them unto thee for daughters,º but notº by thy covenant.ºº

 16:62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:

 16:62 And Iº will establishººº my covenantº withº thee; and thou shalt knowºº thatº Iº [am] Yahweh:º

 16:63 that thou mayest remember, and be ashamed, and mayest no more be able to open thy mouth for thy shame, when I am reconciled to thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord.

 16:63 Thatº thou mayest remember,ºº and be confounded,ºº and neverº openº thy mouthº any moreº becauseºº of thy shame,º when I am pacifiedºº toward thee for allº thatº thou hast done,ºº saithºº Adonaiº Yahweh.º
