Ezekiel 16:35–43

Jerusalem’s Lovers Will Abuse Her

³⁵‘Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord! ³⁶Thus says the Lord God: “Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of ^hthe blood of your children which you gave to them, ³⁷surely, therefore, ⁱI will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness. ³⁸And I will judge you as ^jwomen who break wedlock or ^kshed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy. ³⁹I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down ^lyour ⁴high places. ^mThey shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

⁴⁰ⁿ“They shall also bring up an assembly against you, ^oand they shall stone you with stones and thrust you through with their swords. ⁴¹They shall ^pburn your houses with fire, and ^qexecute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you ^rcease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers. ⁴²So ^sI will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more. ⁴³Because ^tyou did not remember the days of your youth, but ⁵agitated Me with all these things, surely ^uI will also recompense your ⁶deeds on your own head,” says the Lord God. “And you shall not commit lewdness in addition to all your abominations.
