Ezekiel Chapter 16
So, the Lord hit me up again, saying,
Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Yo, let Jerusalem know about all her sus actions,
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
and tell her, "The Lord God’s got some words for Jerusalem; you came from Canaan—your pops was an Amorite and your moms a Hittite, no cap."
And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity {is} of the land of Canaan; thy father {was} an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite. {birth: Heb. cutting out, or, habitation}
When you were born, they didn’t even cut your umbilical cord, and you weren’t cleaned or anything; just straight up, no salt, no swaddling, just raw.
And {as for} thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple {thee}; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. {to supple...: or, when I looked upon thee}
Nobody showed you love or cared for you; you were just tossed out in the field like a piece of garbage on your birthday.
None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
But when I rolled by and peeped you in your own blood, I said, "Live," like, I really meant that.
And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee {when thou wast} in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee {when thou wast} in thy blood, Live. {polluted: or, trodden under foot}
I made you sprout like a plant in the field, and you got all elegant; your curves were on point, and your hair was flowing, even though you started off totally bare.
I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: {thy} breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou {wast} naked and bare. {caused...: Heb. made thee a million} {excellent...: Heb. ornament of ornaments}
When I checked you out again, it was love season; I covered you up and made a promise, saying, "You’re mine now."
Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time {was} the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
Then I cleaned you all up; got rid of your blood and anointed you with some oil, fr.
Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. {blood: Heb. bloods}
I outfitted you in some stylish threads, gave you badger skin kicks, wrapped you in fine linen, and draped you in silk.
I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
I decked you out with some serious drip, threw on bracelets and a chain for your neck, no cap.
I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Slapped a jewel on your forehead, earrings in your ears, and a crown that’s straight fire on your head.
And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head. {forehead: Heb. nose}
You were decked in gold and silver; your fit was all fine linen and silk, feasting on that fancy flour, honey, and oil: you were looking hella stunning and thriving like an entire kingdom.
Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment {was of} fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
Your beauty was the buzz of the block, it was flawless thanks to the vibes I gave you, says the Lord God.
And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it {was} perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
But then you got too caught up in your own looks, acting sus like a player because of your fame, flexing it to anyone who walked by.
But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
You took your outfits and decked out your high places with all these colors, acting like a player there too: that’s just sus.
And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: {the like things} shall not come, neither shall it be {so}.
You also took my fair jewels, the gold and silver I gave you, and made some images of dudes, committing whoredom with them, fr.
Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them, {of men: Heb. of a male}
You took your fancy threads and covered them up: you set my oil and incense before those images like it was no biggie.
And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
The food I gave you, that fine flour, oil, and honey, you put it before them as if it was a vibe: and that’s just wild, says the Lord God.
My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, {wherewith} I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and {thus} it was, saith the Lord GOD. {a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest}
Plus, you took your sons and daughters, the ones I gave you, and sacrificed them to be consumed. Is this really a small deal from your player ways?
Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. {Is this} of thy whoredoms a small matter, {to be...: Heb. to devour}
You straight up killed my kids and made them go through the fire? That’s savage.
That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through {the fire} for them?
You’ve been wildin’ with your nasty ways, totally forgetting when you were just a bare baby, all polluted and stuff.
And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, {and} wast polluted in thy blood.
After all your messed up actions, like, woe is you! says the Lord God.
And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
You built a fancy spot for yourself and set up high places in every street, like that’s not sus.
{That} thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. {eminent...: or, brothel house}
You set up high places at every corner and made your beauty look trash, opening up to everyone passing by, just multiplying your mess.
Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
You even got down with the Egyptians, your neighbors, all about that flesh; you just kept it going to make me mad.
Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
So, I reached out and cut your food supply, handing you over to those who hate you, the Philistine daughters who are embarrassed by your wild ways.
Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary {food}, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. {daughters: or, cities}
You played around with the Assyrians too, like you just couldn’t get enough; you were the ultimate tease but still unsatisfied.
Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
You’ve been out here spreading your vibes in Canaan all the way to Chaldea, and still, you weren’t satisfied.
Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
For real, how weak is your heart, says the Lord God, seeing you do all this stuff like a bossy, whorish woman?
How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these {things}, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
You’re out here building your spot at every corner, flexing hard, but you ain't even acting like a basic thot, no cap.
In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire; {In that thou buildest...: or, In thy daughters is thine, etc}
More like a wifey who’s out here cheating, taking randoms instead of her main, fr.
{But as} a wife that committeth adultery, {which} taketh strangers instead of her husband!
They throw gifts at all the thots, but you’re out here gifting all your lovers and paying them to slide in, that's wild.
They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. {hirest: Heb. bribest}
You’re different from other thots ‘cause no one’s trying to vibe with you, and you’re giving rewards while getting none back, that's sus.
And the contrary is in thee from {other} women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
So, listen up, you thot, peep what the Lord’s saying:
Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
God’s like, “Your dirty laundry’s out in the open, all your shady moves with your lovers and idols, plus the blood of your kids you gave up.”
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Check it, I’m gathering all your lovers, the ones you vibed with and the ones you ghosted; I’m bringing them to show you everything, periodt.
Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all {them} that thou hast loved, with all {them} that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
I’m judging you like how they judge women who cheat and spill blood; you’re taking some serious heat.
And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. {as: Heb. with judgments of}
I’m handing you over to them, and they’re gonna wreck your spot, tear down your high places, strip you of your drip, and leave you bare.
And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare. {thy fair...: Heb. instruments of thine ornament}
They’re rolling up on you, throwing stones and going full savage with their swords, no chill.
They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
They gonna burn your houses down, no cap, and everyone’s gonna see it. I’ll make you stop being sus and you won’t get paid for it anymore, periodt.
And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
I’ll chill with my anger and my jealousy will dip; I’ll be quiet and not mad anymore, fr.
So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
You forgot the good old days and stressed me out; so I’m gonna make you face the music, says the Lord God: don’t be wild like that again, no cap.
Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these {things}; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon {thine} head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
Everyone who drops proverbs will hit you with this one: like mother, like daughter, for real.
Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use {this} proverb against thee, saying, As {is} the mother, {so is} her daughter.
You’re just like your mom, who wasn’t about her fam; and you’re the sister of your sisters who also weren’t about their fam: your mom was a Hittite and your dad an Amorite, no cap.
Thou {art} thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou {art} the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother {was} an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Your big sis is Samaria, chilling with her girls on the left, and your little sis, Sodom and her girls, is on the right.
And thine elder sister {is} Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, {is} Sodom and her daughters. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
But you didn’t follow their vibes or do their messy stuff; you went even harder in being wild than they did, fr.
Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as {if that were} a very little {thing}, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways. {as if...: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I live, says the Lord God, Sodom and her girls didn’t go as hard as you and your girls did.
{As} I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Check it, this was Sodom’s issue: pride, too much food, and being lazy; they didn’t help the poor or needy, periodt.
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
They were full of themselves and did nasty stuff in my sight: that’s why I took them out when I felt it was right, no cap.
And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw {good}.
Samaria ain't even done half the stuff you've pulled; you just keep leveling up your wildness, justifying your sisters' mess too.
Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
You, who judged your sisters, better own your shame 'cause your sins are way more sus than theirs. They're low-key more righteous than you, fr.
Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
When I bring back Sodom and her crew, and Samaria and her girls, I’ll also bring your peeps back right in the mix.
When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then {will I bring again} the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
So you can feel your own shame and be shook about everything you've done, since you were a comfort to them.
That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
When Sodom and her girls bounce back to their old vibes, and Samaria and hers too, you and your crew will bounce back to your old vibes as well.
When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Your sister Sodom wasn’t even on your lips when you were flexing hard.
For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride, {mentioned: Heb. for a report, or, hearing} {pride: Heb. prides, or, excellencies}
Before your wickedness got exposed, like when you were throwing shade at the daughters of Syria and all the Philistine girls who look down on you.
Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of {thy} reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all {that are} round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about. {Syria: Heb. Aram} {despise: or, spoil}
You’ve dealt with your own wildness and nasty stuff, says the Lord.
Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD. {borne: Heb. borne them}
For real, says the Lord God; I’m gonna treat you how you treated others, since you dissed the oath and broke the covenant.
For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
But I’ll still remember my promise to you from way back when, and I’ll set up an everlasting deal with you.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
You’re gonna look back on your past and feel some type of way when you get your sisters, the older and the younger. I’ll hook you up with them as daughters, but it ain’t part of your deal.
Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
I’m about to set my promise with you; you’ll know I’m the Lord, no cap.
And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I {am} the LORD:
You’ll remember and feel shook, and you won’t even wanna talk ‘cause of the shame, when I chill out on you for all that you’ve done, says the Lord God.
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
