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; fand all the Assyrians with them—desirable young men, all of them governors and prefects, officers and administrators, all of them riding on horses. 24They will come against you with an alliance of nations and with weapons, chariots, and gwagons. They will set themselves against you on every side with shields, bucklers, and helmets. I will delegate judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards. 25When I vent My jealous rage on you, hthey will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and your descendants will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your descendants will be consumed by fire. 26They will strip off your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry. i27So I will put an end to your indecency 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, jso that the shame of your debauchery will be exposed, both your indecency and promiscuity. 30These things will be done to you because you acted like a prostitute with the nations, kdefiling yourself with their idols. 31You have followed the path of your sister, so I will put her cup in your hand.” l

32This is what the Lord God says:

You will drink your sister’s cup, m

which is deep and wide.

You will be an object of nridicule and scorn,

for it holds so much. o

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 pand cast Me behind your back, qyou must bear the consequences of your indecency and promiscuity.”
