'Yourself' in the Bible

The Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said: “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

Take an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between yourself and the city. Turn your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This will be a sign for the house of Israel.

“Also take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt. Put them in a single container and make them into bread for yourself. You are to eat it during the number of days you lie on your side, 390 days.

You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and you engaged in prostitution on them. These places should not have been built, and this should never have happened!

“you built yourself a mound and made yourself an elevated place in every square.

You yourself must bear the consequences of your indecency and detestable practices”—this is the Lord’s declaration.

These things will be done to you because you acted like a prostitute with the nations, defiling yourself with their idols.

“In addition, they sent for men who came from far away when a messenger was dispatched to them. And look how they came! You bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry for them.

By your wisdom and understandingyou have acquired wealth for yourself.You have acquired gold and silverfor your treasuries.

“Son of man, lament for Pharaoh king of Egypt and say to him:You compare yourself to a lion of the nations,but you are like a monster in the seas.You thrash about in your rivers,churn up the waters with your feet,and muddy the rivers.”

“Be prepared and get yourself ready, you and all your company who have been mobilized around you; you will be their guard.
