BECAUSE THOU HAST DEFILED MY SANCTUARY

 ^{EZEKIEL 5:11-14}

 

 ^{WHEREFORE, AS I LIVE,} 

^{SAITH THE LORD GOD;} 

^{SURELY, BECAUSE THOU} 

^{HAST DEFILED} 

^{MY  SANCTUARY} 

^{WITH ALL} 

^{THY DETESTABLE THINGS,} 

^AND 

^{WITH ALL THINE ABOMINATIONS,} 

^{THEREFORE WILL I} 

^{ALSO DIMINISH THEE;} 

^{NEITHER SHALL MINE} 

^{EYE SPARE,} 

^{NEITHER WILL I} 

^{HAVE ANY PITY.} 

^{A THIRD PART OF THEE} 

^{SHALL DIE WITH PESTILENCE,} 

^AND 

^{WITH FAMINE} 

^{SHALL THEY BE CONSUMED} 

^{IN THE MIDST OF THEE;} 

^AND 

^{A THIRD PART SHALL} 

^{FALL BY THE SWORD} 

^{ROUND ABOUT THEE;} 

^AND  

^{I WILL SCATTER} 

^{A THIRD PART} 

^{INTO ALL THE WINDS,} 

^AND 

^{I WILL DRAW OUT} 

^{A SWORD AFTER THEM.} 

^{THUS SHALL MINE ANGER BE} 

^{ACCOMPLISHED,} 

^AND 

^{I WILL CAUSE MY FURY} 

^{TO REST UPON THEM,} 

^AND 

^{I WILL BE COMFORTED:} 

^AND 

^{THEY SHALL KNOW} 

^{THAT I} 

^{THE LORD HAVE SPOKEN} 

^{IT IN MY ZEAL,} 

^{WHEN I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED} 

^{MY FURY IN THEM.} 

^{MOREOVER I WILL MAKE} 

^{THE WASTE AND A REPROACH} 

^AMONG 

^{THE NATIONS THAT ARE} 

^{ROUND ABOUT THEE,} 

^{IN THE SIGHT OF ALL THAT PASS BY.} 

^LOVE
