Ezekiel 23:22-27

22“Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord 1God, ‘Behold I will arouse your lovers against you, from whom 2you were alienated, and I will bring them against you from every side:

23the 34Babylonians and all the 5Chaldeans, 6Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the 78Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and officials all of them, officers and 9men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

24They will come against you with weapons, 10chariots and 11wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet; and I will commit the 12judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs.

25I will set My 13jealousy against you, that they may deal with you in wrath. They will remove your nose and your ears; and your 14survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your 15sons and your daughters; and your 16survivors will be consumed by the fire.

26They will also 17strip you of your clothes and take away your 18beautiful jewels.

27Thus 19I will make your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt to cease from you, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.’
