211. Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit
on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for thou
shalt no more be called tender and delicate. Take the mill-stones and
grind meal, uncover thy locks, _make-bare thy leg, uncover the thigh,_
pass over the rivers. _Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame
shall be seen_; I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a
man. Isaiah xlvii. 1, 2, 3.
212. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child?
Wherefore do I see _every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in
travail_, and all faces are turned into paleness % Jer. xxx. 6.
213. Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her
delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs, so have we been in
thy sight, O Lord. Isaiah xxvi. 17.
214. Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones;
strip ye and make ye bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. Isaiah
xxxii. 11.
215. Thus saith the Lord God, Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup
deep and large; thou shalt be laughed to scorn, and had in derision; it
containeth much. Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister
Samaria. Ezek. xxiii. 32, 33.
216 He that is unjust, _let him be unjust still_; and he which is
filthy, _let him be filthy still_; and he that is righteous, let him
be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Bevel,
xxii..11.
217. And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall
wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. And every
garment and every skin whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be
washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with
whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. And if any man lie
with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven
days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman
have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation,
or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the
issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation; she
shall be unclean. This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him
whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; and of her that is
sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man and of
the woman, and of him that lieth with her which is unclean. Leviticus
xv. 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 32 33.
