An Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite. See also: Ezekiel 16:45Isaiah 51:1-2Deuteronomy 20:17As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut. You weren’t washed in water to cleanse you. You weren’t salted at all, nor wrapped in blankets at all. See also: Hosea 2:3Genesis 15:13Joshua 24:2No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, because you were abhorred in the day that you were born. See also: Deuteronomy 32:10Genesis 21:10Exodus 1:22“‘“When I passed by you, and saw you wallowing in your blood, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ Yes, I said to you, ‘Though you are in your blood, live!’ See also: Ephesians 2:4-5Titus 3:3-7John 5:25I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent beauty. Your breasts were formed, and your hair grew; yet you were naked and bare. See also: Exodus 1:7Deuteronomy 1:10Isaiah 62:3“‘“Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I pledged myself to you and entered into a covenant with you,” says the Lord GOD, “and you became mine. See also: Ruth 3:9Jeremiah 2:2-3Romans 5:8“‘“Then I washed you with water. Yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil. See also: Psalms 23:5Ruth 3:31 John 5:8I clothed you also with embroidered work and put leather sandals on you. I dressed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. See also: Ezekiel 16:18Ezekiel 16:13Exodus 26:36I decked you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands, and put a chain on your neck. See also: Genesis 24:22Isaiah 3:19Genesis 24:47I put a ring on your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. See also: Isaiah 3:21Isaiah 28:5Thus you were decked with gold and silver. Your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered work. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate. See also: Deuteronomy 32:13-14Psalms 50:21 Kings 4:21Your renown went out among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,” says the Lord GOD. See also: 1 Kings 10:24Lamentations 2:151 Corinthians 4:7“‘“But you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by. It was his. See also: Isaiah 57:8Ezekiel 16:25Jeremiah 2:20You took some of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them. This shouldn’t happen, neither shall it be. See also: 2 Kings 23:7Hosea 2:8Ezekiel 7:20You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them. See also: Ezekiel 23:14-21Isaiah 57:7-8Jeremiah 3:9You took your embroidered garments, covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them. My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord GOD. See also: Ezekiel 16:13Hosea 2:8-13Deuteronomy 32:14-17“‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter, See also: Ezekiel 23:37Ezekiel 20:26Jeremiah 7:31that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them? See also: 2 Kings 17:172 Kings 21:6Deuteronomy 18:10In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood. See also: Jeremiah 2:2Hosea 11:1Ezekiel 16:43“‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord GOD— See also: Jeremiah 13:27Ezekiel 24:6Zephaniah 3:1“that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street. See also: Jeremiah 2:20Ezekiel 16:39Isaiah 57:7You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution. See also: Ezekiel 16:31Jeremiah 3:2Genesis 38:14You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

See also: Isaiah 9:12Ezekiel 16:57Ezekiel 16:37You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren’t satisfied. See also: 2 Kings 16:7Jeremiah 2:18Hosea 10:6You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren’t satisfied with this. See also: 2 Kings 21:9Ezekiel 23:14-21Ezekiel 13:14-23“‘“How weak is your heart,” says the Lord GOD, “since you do all these things, the work of an impudent prostitute; See also: Jeremiah 3:3Isaiah 1:3Isaiah 3:9in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay. See also: Isaiah 52:3Ezekiel 16:33-34Hosea 12:11“‘“Adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband! See also: Jeremiah 2:282 Corinthians 11:2-3Ezekiel 23:37People give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution. See also: Isaiah 57:9Hosea 8:9-10Joel 3:3You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.”’ “Therefore, prostitute, hear the LORD’s word: See also: Ezekiel 13:2Nahum 3:4Ezekiel 34:7‘The Lord GOD says, “Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them; See also: Ezekiel 23:10Psalms 139:11-12Genesis 3:7therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those whom you have loved, with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. See also: Hosea 2:3Hosea 2:10Jeremiah 13:22I will judge you as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy. See also: Genesis 9:6Leviticus 20:10Jeremiah 18:21I will also give you into their hand, and they will throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places. They will strip you of your clothes and take your beautiful jewels. They will leave you naked and bare. See also: Hosea 2:3Ezekiel 23:26Ezekiel 16:24-25They will also bring up a company against you, and they will stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords. See also: Ezekiel 23:47Habakkuk 1:6-10Jeremiah 25:9They will burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you will also give no hire any more. See also: Ezekiel 23:48Jeremiah 52:13Ezekiel 23:27So I will cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy will depart from you. I will be quiet, and will not be angry any more. See also: Ezekiel 5:13Ezekiel 39:29Isaiah 40:1-2“‘“Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, behold, I also will bring your way on your head,” says the Lord GOD: “and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your abominations. See also: Ezekiel 16:22Psalms 78:42Ezekiel 11:21“‘“Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb against you, saying, ‘As is the mother, so is her daughter.’ See also: Ezekiel 18:2-3Psalms 106:35-381 Samuel 24:13You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. See also: Zechariah 11:8Isaiah 1:4Ezekiel 23:2Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom with her daughters. See also: Ezekiel 23:4Ezekiel 16:53-56Ezekiel 16:48-49Yet you have not walked in their ways, nor done their abominations; but soon you were more corrupt than they in all your ways. See also: 2 Kings 21:9Ezekiel 16:51Ezekiel 5:6-7As I live,” says the Lord GOD, “Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters. See also: Matthew 10:15Mark 6:11Acts 7:52“‘“Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters. She also didn’t strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. See also: Psalms 138:6Ezekiel 28:2Genesis 13:10They were arrogant and committed abomination before me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it. See also: Genesis 19:24Genesis 18:20Genesis 13:13Samaria hasn’t committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done. See also: Jeremiah 3:8-11Luke 12:47-48Matthew 12:41-42You also bear your own shame yourself, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters. See also: Matthew 7:1-5Ezekiel 36:6-7Romans 1:32“‘“I will reverse their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives among them; See also: Isaiah 19:24-25Ezekiel 29:14Jeremiah 12:16that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to them. See also: Ezekiel 14:22-23Jeremiah 2:26Ezekiel 16:63Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former estate; and you and your daughters will return to your former estate. See also: Ezekiel 16:53Ezekiel 36:11Malachi 3:4For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride, See also: Isaiah 65:5Luke 18:11Zephaniah 3:11before your wickedness was uncovered, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you all around. See also: 2 Kings 16:5-7Isaiah 7:1Ezekiel 16:36-37You have borne your lewdness and your abominations,” says the LORD. See also: Ezekiel 23:49Lamentations 5:7Genesis 4:13“‘For the Lord GOD says: “I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in breaking the covenant. See also: Ezekiel 17:19Isaiah 24:5Romans 2:8-9Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. See also: Hosea 2:19-20Hebrews 8:10Jeremiah 50:5Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, your elder sisters and your younger; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant. See also: Galatians 4:26-31Hebrews 8:13Romans 15:16I will establish my covenant with you. Then you will know that I am the LORD; See also: Jeremiah 24:7Ezekiel 6:7Ezekiel 39:22that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done,” says the Lord GOD.’” See also: Psalms 39:9Romans 3:19Titus 3:3-7

Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3). Christian unity
