Language in Ezekiel

  1. God tells Ezekiel to eat barley cakes that are made with "the dung that cometh out of man." (Yum!) 4:12

  2. God dresses up Jerusalem, cleans off the blood that she was wallowing in, and compliments her on her nice hair and breasts. 16:6-7, 22

  3. Jerusalem was a harlot who had sex with everyone that passed by. 16:15-16

  4. "Thou hast ... madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them." 16:17

  5. "Thou ... hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by." 16:25

  6. "Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh." (Jerusalem had sex with Egyptians with big penises.) 16:26

  7. Jerusalem still wasn't satisfied after having sex with the well-endowed Egyptians (v.26), so she had sex with the Assyrians too. Yet she still wasn't satisfied. So she had sex with the men of Canaan and Chaldea, but still was not satisfied. 16:28-29

  8. God calls Jerusalem "an imperious whorish woman." 16:30

  9. God says that Jerusalem has sex with strangers, hiring them to "come in unto thee on every side." 16:32-33

  10. Because she is such a filthy harlot, God will expose her nakedness before all of her lovers. 16:35-36

  11. After exposing her nakedness, God will give her "blood in fury and jealousy" and strip her naked once more. 16:38-41

  12. Information from God about discovering the nakedness of fathers, committing adultery with neighbor's wives, sex with menstruating women, daughters-in-law, sisters, etc. 22:1-11

  13. "I will consume thy filthiness out of thee." 22:15

  14. Two sisters were guilty of "committing whoredoms" by pressing their breasts and bruising "the teats of their virginity." As a punishment, one sister's nakedness was discovered, her children were taken from her, and she was killed by the sword. And the fate of the surviving sister was even worse: Her nose and ears were cut off, she was made to "pluck off" her own breasts, and then after being raped and mutilated, she is stoned to death. 23:1-49

  15. Really Big Penises. One of the sister (Aholibah) had lovers "whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses." 23:20

  16. God gets all excited about cooking with "scum" and human flesh, saying "kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned." 24:3-14

  17. God makes "all their loins to be at a stand." When this is achieved, God will get out his sword and "cut off man and beast out of thee." Ouch! 29:7-9
