Ezekiel 23:22–35

22 “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am stirring up your lovers against you concerning whom you turned away, and I will bring them against you from all around: 23 the Babylonianse and all of the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all of the Assyriansf along with them, handsome young men,g governors and prefects, all of them adjutantsh and excellent horsemen.i 24 And they will come against you with an army chariot and wagon and with a crowdj of peoples; they will set themselves against you from all around with large shield and small shield and helmet. And I will give before themk judgment, and they will judge you with their judgments. 25 And I will direct my zeal against you, and they will deal with you in anger; your nose and your ears they will remove, and those who are left,l they will fall by the sword, and they will take your sons and your daughters, and your remnantm will be consumed by fire. 26 And they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take your splendid jewelry.n 27 And I will put an end to your obscene conduct coming from you and your fornication from the land of Egypt, and you will not lift your eyes to them; and you will not remember Egypt again.’ 28 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: ‘Look! I am giving you into the hand of those you hated, into the hand of those from whomo you turned away. 29 And they will deal with you in hatred, and they will take all of your acquisitions, and they will leave you naked and in bareness; and the nakedness of your fornication and your obscene conduct and your whorings will be exposed. 30 These things are accomplishedp againstq you since you prostituted yourself after the nations, and on account of that, you defiled yourself by their idols. 31 You went in the same way of your sister, and I will give her cup into your hand.” ’

32 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: “You will drink the deep and wider cup of your sister; you will be as laughter and as scorn; the cup holds so much!s 33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, for a cup of horror and desolation is the cup of your sister, Samaria. 34 And you will drink it, and you will drain it, and its potsherds you will gnaw, and you will tear out your breasts, for I myselft spoke,” declaresu the Lord Yahweh. 35 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Because you have forgotten me, and you threw me behind your back, now in turnv you bear your obscene conduct and your whorings.”
