Ezekiel 23:22-25

22“Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord 1God says: ‘Behold I am going to incite your lovers against you, from whom 2you turned away in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side:

23the 3 4Babylonians and all the 5Chaldeans, 6Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the 7 8Assyrians with them; handsome young men, governors and officials all of them, officers and 9men of renown, all of them riding on horses.

24And they will come against you with weapons, 10chariots, and 11wagons, and with a contingent of peoples. They will attack you on every side with shield, 12buckler, and helmet; and I will commit the 13judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs.

25I will set My 14jealousy against you, so that they may deal with you in wrath. They will remove your nose and your ears; and your 15survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your 16sons and your daughters; and your 17survivors will be consumed by the fire.
