And he said unto me, Seest thou, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here, that they yet fill the land with violence, and keep provoking me afresh to anger? And behold, they put the branch to their nose.

and I put a ring on thy nose, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head.

And the nations heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with nose-rings into the land of Egypt.

And they put him in a cage with nose-rings, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.

And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy nose and thine ears, and thy remnant shall fall by the sword; they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

And I will vex the heart of many peoples, when I bring the news of thy destruction among the nations, into the countries that thou hast not known.
