1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

2Son of Man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.

3And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God to Jerusalem: Your root, and your nativity is of the land of Chanaan, your father was an Amorrhite, and your mother a Cethite.

4And when you were born, in the day of your nativity your navel wits not cut, neither were you washed with water for your health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts.

5No eye had pity on you to do any of these things for you, out of compassion to you: but you were cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of your soul, in the day that you were born.

6And passing by you, I saw that you were trodden under foot in your own blood. and I said to you when you were in your blood: Live: I have said to you: Live in your blood.

7I caused you to multiply as the bud of the field: and you did increase and grow great, and advancedst, and came to woman's ornament: your breasts were fashioned, and your hair grew: and you were naked, and full of confusion.

8And I passed by you, and saw you: and look your time was the time of lovers$1 and I spread my clothing over you, and covered your ignominy. And I swore to you, and I entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord God: and you becamest mine.

9And I washed you with water, and cleansed away your blood from you: and I anointed you with oil.

10And I clothed you with embroidery, and shed you with violet coloured shoes$1 and I girded you about with fine linen, and clothed you with fine clothes.

11I decked you also with ornaments, and put bracelets on your hands, and a chain about your neck.

12And I put a jewel upon your forehead and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

13And you were adorned with gold, and silver, and were clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: you did eat fine hour, and honey, and oil, and were made exceeding beautiful: and were advanced to be a queen.

14And your renown went forth among the nations for your beauty: for you were perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon you, says the Lord God.

15But trusting in your beauty, you playedst the harlot because of your renown, and you have prostituted yourself to every passenger, to be his.

60And I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth: and I will establish with you an eternal covenant.

63That you may remember, and be put to shame, and may no more open your mouth because of your confusion, when I shall be pacified toward you for all that you have done, says the Lord God.

2Look, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear: OH because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.

3You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour's fountains:

5Sing you to the Lord, for he has done great things: show this forth in all the earth.

6Rejoice, and praise, OH you habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of you, the Holy One of Israel.

3And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4Who answering, said to them: Have you not read, that he who made man from the start, Made them male and female? And he said:

5For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh.

6Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder.

7They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?

8He says to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the start it was not so.

9And I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and the one who will marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.

10His disciples say to him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.

11Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.

12For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.
