Ezekiel 23:22-35
22“ThereforeH3651, O OholibahH172, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 1GodH3068, ‘BeholdH2009 I will arouseH5782 your loversH157 againstH5921 you, from whomH834 2you were alienatedH5361, and I will bringH935 them againstH5921 you from everyH5439 sideH5439: 23the 34BabyloniansH1121H894 and allH3605 the 5ChaldeansH3778, 6PekodH6489 and ShoaH7772 and KoaH6970, and allH3605 the 78AssyriansH1121H804 with them; desirableH2531 youngH970 menH970, governorsH6346 and officialsH5461 allH3605 of them, officersH7991 and 9menH7121 of renownH7121, allH3605 of them ridingH7392 on horsesH5483. 24They will comeH935 againstH5921 you with weaponsH2021, 10chariotsH7393 and 11wagonsH1534, and with a companyH6951 of peoplesH5971. They will setH7760 themselves againstH5921 you on everyH5439 sideH5439 with bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959; and I will commitH5414 the 12judgmentH4941 to them, and they will judgeH8199 you according to their customsH4941. 25I will setH5414 My 13jealousyH7068 against you, that they may dealH6213 with you in wrathH2534. They will removeH5493 your noseH639 and your earsH241; and your 14survivorsH319 will fallH5307 by the swordH2719. They will takeH3947 your 15sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323; and your 16survivorsH319 will be consumedH398 by the fireH784. 26They will also 17stripH6584 you of your clothesH899 and takeH3947 away your 18beautifulH8597 jewelsH3627. 27Thus 19I will make your lewdnessH2154 and your harlotryH2184 brought from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to ceaseH7673 from you, so that you will not liftH5375 up your eyesH5869 to them or rememberH2142 EgyptH4714 anymoreH5750.’ 28For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BeholdH2009, I will giveH5414 you into the handH3027 of those whomH834 you 20hateH8130, into the handH3027 of those from whomH834 21you were alienatedH5361. 29They will 22dealH6213 with you in hatredH8135, takeH3947 allH3605 your propertyH3018, and leaveH5800 you nakedH5903 and bareH6181. And the nakednessH6172 of your harlotriesH2183 will be uncoveredH1540, both your lewdnessH2154 and your harlotriesH8457. 30TheseH428 thingsH428 will be doneH6213 to you because you have 23playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the nationsH1471, becauseH5921H834 you have defiledH2930 yourself with their idolsH1544. 31You have walkedH1980 in the wayH1870 of your sisterH269; therefore I will giveH5414 24her cupH3563 into your handH3027.’ 32ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘You will 25drinkH8354 your sister’sH269 cupH3563, Which is deepH6013 and wideH7342. 26You will be 27laughedH6712 at and held in derisionH3933; It containsH3557 muchH4767.33You will be filledH4390 with 28drunkennessH7943 and sorrowH3015, The cupH3563 of horrorH8047 and desolationH8077, The cupH3563 of your sisterH269 SamariaH8111.34You will 29drinkH8354 it and drainH4680 it. Then you will gnawH1633 its fragmentsH2789 And tearH5423 your breastsH7699; for I have spokenH1696,’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 35ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 GodH3068, ‘BecauseH3282 you have 30forgottenH7911 Me and 31castH7993 Me behindH310 your backH1458, bearH5375 nowH1571 the punishment of your lewdnessH2154 and your harlotriesH8457.’”
