Ezekiel 23:11-35

11And her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 [this], and was moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her passion than she, and in her fornications moreH4480 than the whoredoms of her sisterH269.

12She lustedH5689 after the children of AsshurH804 [her] neighbours, governorsH6346 and rulers, clothedH3847 most gorgeously, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them attractive youngH1121 menH970.

13And I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930: both took oneH259 wayH1870.

14And she increasedH3254 her fornications; for she sawH7200 menH376 portrayed upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 portrayed with vermilionH8350,

15girded with girdles upon their loinsH4975, with flowing turbans on their headsH7218, all of them captains in appearanceH4758, [after] the likenessH1823 of the children of BabylonH894, of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativity.

16And as soon as she saw them with her eyesH5869, she lustedH5689 after them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778.

17And the children of BabylonH894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of love, and they defiledH2930 her with their fornication; she too defiledH2930 herself with them, and her soulH5315 was alienated from them.

18And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakednessH6172; and my soulH5315 was alienated from her, like as my soulH5315 was alienated from her sisterH269.

19Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredoms, calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she playedH2181 the harlot in the landH776 of EgyptH4714;

20and she lustedH5689 after their paramours, whose fleshH1320 is [as] the fleshH1320 of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horsesH5483.

21And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youthH5271, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breastsH7699 of thy youthH5271.

22ThereforeH3651, OholibahH172, thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy loversH157 against thee, from whom thy soulH5315 is alienated, and I will bringH935 them against thee on every side.

23The children of BabylonH894, and all the ChaldeansH3778, PekodH6489 and Shoa and Koa, all the children of AsshurH804 with them; all of them attractive youngH1121 menH970, governorsH6346 and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.

24And they shall comeH935 against thee [with] armour, chariotsH7393 and wheelsH1534, and with an assemblage of peoplesH5971; they shall setH7760 themselves against thee [with] target, and shieldH4043, and helmetH6959 roundH5439 about; and I will putH5414 judgmentH4941 before them, and they shall judgeH8199 thee according to their judgmentsH4941.

25And I will setH5414 my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall cut off thy noseH639 and thine earsH241, and thy remnant shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719; they shall takeH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323; and thy residue shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784.

26They shall also stripH6584 the of thy garmentsH899, and takeH3947 awayH3947 thy fair jewels.

27And I will makeH2142 thy lewdness to ceaseH7673 from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and thou shalt not liftH5375 up thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 any moreH4480.

28For thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Behold, I will giveH5414 thee over into the handH3027 of them whom thou hatest, into the handH3027 of them from whom thy soulH5315 is alienated.

29And they shall deal with thee in hatredH8135, and shall takeH3947 away all thy labour, and shall leaveH5800 thee nakedH5903 and bare; so that the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy fornications.

30These thingsH428 shall be done unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the nationsH1471, because thou hast defiledH2930 thyself with their idolsH1544.

31Thou hast walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of thy sisterH269; and I have givenH5414 her cupH3563 into thy handH3027.

32ThusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Thou shalt drinkH8354 of thy sister's cupH3563 deepH6013 and large; thou shalt beH1961 for a laughing-stock and a derision, [for] it containeth much.

33Thou shalt be filledH4390 with drunkennessH7943 and sorrowH3015, with the cupH3563 of astonishment and desolationH8077, the cupH3563 of thy sisterH269 SamariaH8111;

34thou shalt even drinkH8354 it and suck it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breastsH7699: for I have spokenH1696 [it], saith the LordH136 Jehovah.

35ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith the LordH136 Jehovah: Because thou hast forgottenH7911 me, and castH7993 me behind thy back, thereforeH3651 bearH5375 thou alsoH1571 thy lewdness and thy fornications.
