Lamentations 1:9
9 Her uncleanness was ain her skirts;bshe took no thought of her future; ▼
▼Or end
therefore her fall is terrible;
dshe has no comforter.
“O Lord, behold my affliction,
for the enemy has etriumphed!”
Ezekiel 16:15-22
15 f“But you trusted in your beauty gand played the whore ▼▼Or were unfaithful; also verses 16, 17, 26, 28
because of your renown iand lavished your whorings ▼▼Or unfaithfulness; also verses 20, 22, 25, 26, 29, 33, 34, 36
on any passerby; your beauty ▼▼Hebrew it
became his. 16You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be. ▼▼The meaning of this Hebrew sentence is uncertain
17You also took myour beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and nmade for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. 18And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, oand set my oil and my incense before them. 19 pAlso my bread that I gave you— qI fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for ra pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God. 20 sAnd you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and tthese you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter 21that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them? 22And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember uthe days of your youth, vwhen you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood. Ezekiel 22:15
