It is one thing to neglect what we know not, but quite another thing to despise what we profess to worship [JEROME], as the Jews did towards God and the law.

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| They have committed a trespass - They have prevaricated; they are the worst of sinners, and shall have the heaviest of punishments. Can men suppose that it is possible to hide even their dark hearts from God? |
53 When I shall bring again [07725] their captivity [07622] [07622], the captivity [07622] [07622] of Sodom [05467] and her daughters [01323], and the captivity [07622] [07622] of Samaria [08111] and her daughters [01323], then will I bring again the captivity [07622] [07622] of thy captives [07622] in the midst [08432] of them:
8 Now when I passed [05674] by thee, and looked [07200] upon thee, behold, thy time [06256] was the time [06256] of love [01730]; and I spread [06566] my skirt [03671] over thee, and covered [03680] thy nakedness [06172]: yea, I sware [07650] unto thee, and entered [0935] into a covenant [01285] with thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], and thou becamest mine.
9 Then washed [07364] I thee with water [04325]; yea, I throughly washed away [07857] thy blood [01818] from thee, and I anointed [05480] thee with oil [08081].
10 I clothed [03847] thee also with broidered work [07553], and shod [05274] thee with badgers' skin [08476], and I girded [02280] thee about with fine linen [08336], and I covered [03680] thee with silk [04897].
11 I decked [05710] thee also with ornaments [05716], and I put [05414] bracelets [06781] upon thy hands [03027], and a chain [07242] on thy neck [01627].
12 And I put [05414] a jewel [05141] on thy forehead [0639], and earrings [05694] in thine ears [0241], and a beautiful [08597] crown [05850] upon thine head [07218].
13 Thus wast thou decked [05710] with gold [02091] and silver [03701]; and thy raiment [04403] was of fine linen [08336] [08336], and silk [04897], and broidered work [07553]; thou didst eat [0398] fine flour [05560], and honey [01706], and oil [08081]: and thou wast exceeding [03966] beautiful [03302], and thou didst prosper [06743] into a kingdom [04410].
14 And thy renown [08034] went forth [03318] among the heathen [01471] for thy beauty [03308]: for it was perfect [03632] through my comeliness [01926], which I had put [07760] upon thee, saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069].
1 Again the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came unto me, saying [0559],
2 Son [01121] of man [0120], cause Jerusalem [03389] to know [03045] her abominations [08441],
3 And say [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069] unto Jerusalem [03389]; Thy birth [04351] and thy nativity [04138] is of the land [0776] of Canaan [03669]; thy father [01] was an Amorite [0567], and thy mother [0517] an Hittite [02850].
4 And as for thy nativity [04138], in the day [03117] thou wast born [03205] thy navel [08270] was not cut [03772], neither wast thou washed [07364] in water [04325] to supple [04935] thee; thou wast not salted [04414] at all [04414], nor swaddled [02853] at all [02853].
5 None eye [05869] pitied [02347] thee, to do [06213] any [0259] of these unto thee, to have compassion [02550] upon thee; but thou wast cast out [07993] in the open [06440] field [07704], to the lothing [01604] of thy person [05315], in the day [03117] that thou wast born [03205].
6 And when I passed [05674] by thee, and saw [07200] thee polluted [0947] in thine own blood [01818], I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421]; yea, I said [0559] unto thee when thou wast in thy blood [01818], Live [02421].
7 I have caused [05414] thee to multiply [07233] as the bud [06780] of the field [07704], and thou hast increased [07235] and waxen great [01431], and thou art come [0935] to excellent [05716] ornaments [05716]: thy breasts [07699] are fashioned [03559], and thine hair [08181] is grown [06779], whereas thou wast naked [05903] and bare [06181].
