Ezekiel 23:22–35

²²“Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Lord God says: I am going to incite your lovers against you, those you turned away from in disgust. I will bring them against you from every side: ²³the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans; Pekod, Shoa, and Koa;^m and all the Assyrians with them—desirable young men, all of them governors and prefects, officers and administrators, all of them riding on steeds. ²⁴They will come against you with an assembly of peoples and with weapons, chariots, and^C wagons. They will set themselves against you on every side with large and small shields and helmets. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards. ²⁵When I vent my jealous fury on you,ⁿ they will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and the rest of you^D will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and the rest of you will be consumed by fire. ²⁶They will strip off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.^{o 27}So I will put an end to your depravity and sexual immorality, which began in the land of Egypt, and you will not look longingly at them or remember Egypt anymore.

²⁸“For this is what the Lord God says: I am going to hand you over to those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. ²⁹They will treat you with hatred, take all you have worked for, and leave you stark naked,^p so that the shame of your debauchery will be exposed, both your depravity and promiscuity. ³⁰These things will be done to you because you acted like a prostitute with the nations,^q defiling yourself with their idols. ³¹You have followed the path of your sister, so I will put her cup in your hand.”^r

³²This is what the Lord God says:

“You will drink your sister’s cup,^s

which is deep and wide.

You will be an object of^A ridicule and scorn,

for it holds so much.^t

³³You will be filled with drunkenness and grief,

with a cup of devastation and desolation,

the cup of your sister Samaria.

³⁴You will drink it and drain it;

then you will gnaw its broken pieces,

and tear your breasts.

For I have spoken.”

This is the declaration of the Lord God.

³⁵Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “Because you have forgotten me^a and cast me behind your back,^b you must bear the consequences of your indecency and promiscuity.”
