Ezequiel 23

1The word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came again unto me, saying^H559, 2Son^H1121 of man^H120, there were two^H8147 women^H802, the daughters^H1323 of one^H259 mother^H517: 3and they played the harlot^H2181 in Egypt^H4714; they played the harlot^H2181 in their youth^H5271; there were their breasts^H7699 pressed^H4600, and there was handled^H6213 the bosom^H1717 of their virginity^H1331. 4And the names^H8034 of them were Oholah^H170 the elder^H1419, and Oholibah^H172 her sister^H269: and they became mine, and they bare^H3205 sons^H1121 and daughters^H1323. And as for their names^H8034, Samaria^H8111 is Oholah^H170, and Jerusalem^H3389 Oholibah^H172. 5And Oholah^H170 played the harlot^H2181 when she was mine^H8478; and she doted^H5689 on her lovers^H157, on the Assyrians^H804 her neighbors^H7138, 6who were clothed^H3847 with blue^H8504, governors^H6346 and rulers^H5461, all of them desirable^H2531 young men^H970, horsemen^H6571 riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483. 7And she bestowed^H5414 her whoredoms^H8457 upon them, the choicest^H4005 men^H1121 of Assyria^H804 all of them; and on whomsoever she doted^H5689, with all their idols^H1544 she defiled^H2930 herself. 8Neither hath she left^H5800 her whoredoms^H8457 since the days of Egypt^H4714; for in her youth^H5271 they lay^H7901 with her, and they handled^H6213 the bosom^H1717 of her virginity^H1331; and they poured^H8210 out their whoredom^H8457 upon her. 9Wherefore I delivered^H5414 her into the hand^H3027 of her lovers^H157, into the hand^H3027 of the Assyrians^H1121, upon whom she doted^H5689. 10These uncovered^H1540 her nakedness^H6172; they took^H3947 her sons^H1121 and her daughters^H1323; and her they slew^H2026 with the sword^H2719: and she became a byword^H8034 among women^H802; for they executed^H6213 judgments^H8196 upon her. 11And her sister^H269 Oholibah^H172 saw^H7200 this, yet was she more corrupt^H7843 in her doting^H5691 than she, and in her whoredoms^H8457 which were more than the whoredoms^H2183 of her sister^H269. 12She doted^H5689 upon the Assyrians^H1121, governors^H6346 and rulers^H5461, her neighbors^H7138, clothed^H3847 most gorgeously^H4358, horsemen^H6571 riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483, all of them desirable^H2531 young men^H970. 13And I saw^H7200 that she was defiled^H2930; they both^H8147 took one^H259 way^H1870. 14And she increased^H3254 her whoredoms^H8457; for she saw^H7200 men^H582 portrayed^H2707 upon the wall^H7023, the images^H6754 of the Chaldeans^H3778 portrayed^H2710 with vermilion^H8350, 15girded^H2289 with girdles^H232 upon their loins^H4975, with flowing^H5628 turbans^H2871 upon their heads^H7218, all of them princes^H7991 to^H4758 look upon, after the likeness^H1823 of the Babylonians^H1121 in Chaldea^H3778, the land^H776 of their nativity^H4138. 16And as soon^H5869 as she saw^H4758 them she doted^H5689 upon them, and sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 unto them into Chaldea^H3778. 17And the Babylonians^H1121 came^H935 to her into the bed^H4904 of love^H1730, and they defiled^H2930 her with their whoredom^H8457, and she was polluted^H2930 with them, and her soul^H5315 was alienated^H3363 from them. 18So she uncovered^H1540 her whoredoms^H8457, and uncovered^H1540 her nakedness^H6172: then my soul^H5315 was alienated^H3363 from her, like as my soul^H5315 was alienated^H5361 from her sister^H269. 19Yet she multiplied^H7235 her whoredoms^H8457, remembering^H2142 the days^H3117 of her youth^H5271, wherein she had played the harlot^H2181 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714. 20And she doted^H5689 upon their paramours^H6370, whose flesh^H1320 is as the flesh^H1320 of asses^H2543, and whose issue^H2231 is like the issue^H2231 of horses^H5483. 21Thus thou calledst to remembrance^H6485 the lewdness^H2154 of thy youth^H5271, in the handling^H6213 of thy bosom^H1717 by the Egyptians^H4714 for the breasts^H7699 of thy youth^H5271. 22Therefore, O Oholibah^H172, thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069: Behold, I will raise up^H5782 thy lovers^H157 against thee, from whom thy soul^H5315 is alienated^H5361, and I will bring^H935 them against thee on every side^H5439: 23the Babylonians^H1121 and all the Chaldeans^H3778, Pekod^H6489 and Shoa^H7772 and Koa^H6970, and all the Assyrians^H1121 with them; desirable^H2531 young men^H970, governors^H6346 and rulers^H5461 all of them, princes^H5461 and men^H970 of renown, all of them riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483. 24And they shall come^H935 against thee with weapons^H2021, chariots^H7393, and wagons^H1534, and with a company^H6951 of peoples^H5971; they shall set^H7760 themselves against thee with buckler^H6793 and shield^H4043 and helmet^H6959 round about^H5439; and I will commit^H5414 the judgment^H4941 unto^H6440 them, and they shall judge^H8199 thee according to their judgments^H4941. 25And I will set^H5414 my jealousy^H7068 against thee, and they shall deal^H6213 with thee in fury^H2534; they shall take away^H5493 thy nose^H639 and thine ears^H241; and thy residue^H319 shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719: they shall take^H3947 thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323; and thy residue^H319 shall be devoured^H398 by the fire^H784. 26They shall also strip^H6584 thee of thy clothes^H899, and take away^H3947 thy fair^H8597 jewels^H3627. 27Thus will I make thy lewdness^H2154 to cease^H7673 from thee, and thy whoredom^H2184 brought from the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714; so that thou shalt not lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 unto them, nor remember^H2142 Egypt^H4714 any more. 28For thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069: Behold, I will deliver^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of them whom thou hatest^H8130, into the hand^H3027 of them from whom thy soul^H5315 is alienated^H5361; 29and they shall deal^H6213 with thee in hatred^H8135, and shall take away^H3947 all thy labor^H3018, and shall leave^H5800 thee naked^H5903 and bare^H6181; and the nakedness^H6172 of thy whoredoms^H2183 shall be uncovered^H1540, both thy lewdness^H2154 and thy whoredoms^H8457. 30These things shall be done^H6213 unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot^H2181 after^H310 the nations^H1471, and because thou art polluted^H2930 with their idols^H1544. 31Thou hast walked^H1980 in the way^H1870 of thy sister^H269; therefore will I give^H5414 her cup^H3563 into thy hand^H3027. 32Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069: Thou shalt drink^H8354 of thy sister's^H269 cup^H3563, which is deep^H6013 and large^H7342; thou shalt be laughed to scorn^H6712 and had in derision^H3933; it containeth^H3557 much^H4767. 33Thou shalt be filled^H4390 with drunkenness^H7943 and sorrow^H3015, with the cup^H3563 of astonishment^H8047 and desolation^H8077, with the cup^H3563 of thy sister^H269 Samaria^H8111. 34Thou shalt even drink^H8354 it and drain it out^H4680, and thou shalt gnaw^H1633 the sherds^H2789 thereof, and shalt tear^H5423 thy breasts^H7699; for I have spoken^H1696 it, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069. 35Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten^H7911 me, and cast^H7993 me behind^H310 thy back^H1458, therefore bear^H5375 thou also thy lewdness^H2154 and thy whoredoms^H8457. 36Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 moreover unto me: Son^H1121 of man^H120, wilt thou judge^H8199 Oholah^H170 and Oholibah^H172? then declare^H5046 unto them their abominations^H8441. 37For they have committed adultery^H5003, and blood^H1818 is in their hands^H3027; and with their idols^H1544 have they committed adultery^H5003; and they have also caused their sons^H1121, whom they bare^H3205 unto me, to pass through^H5674 the fire unto them to be devoured^H402. 38Moreover this they have done^H6213 unto me: they have defiled^H2930 my sanctuary^H4720 in the same day^H3117, and have profaned^H2490 my sabbaths^H7676. 39For when they had slain^H7819 their children^H1121 to their idols^H1544, then they came^H935 the same day^H3117 into my sanctuary^H4720 to profane^H2490 it; and, lo, thus have they done^H6213 in the midst^H8432 of my house^H1004. 40And furthermore^H637 ye have sent^H7971 for men^H582 that come^H935 from far^H4801, unto whom a messenger^H4397 was sent^H7971, and, lo, they came^H935; for whom thou didst wash^H7364 thyself, paint^H3583 thine eyes^H5869, and deck^H5710 thyself with ornaments^H5716, 41and sit^H3427 upon a stately^H3520 bed^H4296, with a table^H7979 prepared^H6186 before^H6440 it, whereupon thou didst set^H7760 mine incense^H7004 and mine oil^H8081. 42And the voice^H6963 of a multitude^H1995 being at ease^H7961 was with her: and with men^H582 of the common sort^H7230 were brought^H935 drunkards^H5436 from the wilderness^H4057; and they put^H5414 bracelets^H6781 upon the hands^H3027 of them twain, and beautiful^H8597 crowns^H5850 upon their heads^H7218. 43Then said^H559 I of her that was old^H1087 in adulteries^H5004, Now will they play^H2181 the harlot^H8457 with her, and she with them. 44And they went in^H935 unto her, as they go in^H935 unto a^H802 harlot^H2181: so went they in^H935 unto Oholah^H170 and unto Oholibah^H172, the lewd^H2154 women^H802. 45And righteous^H6662 men^H582, they shall judge^H8199 them with the judgment^H4941 of adulteresses^H5003, and with the judgment^H4941 of women that shed^H8210 blood^H1818; because they are adulteresses^H5003, and blood^H1818 is in their hands^H3027. 46For thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H136: I will bring up^H5927 a company^H6951 against them, and will give^H5414 them to be tossed^H2189 to and fro and robbed^H957. 47And the company^H6951 shall stone^H7275 them with stones^H68, and despatch^H1254 them with their swords^H2719; they shall slay^H2026 their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323, and burn up^H8313 their houses^H1004 with fire^H784. 48Thus will I cause lewdness^H2154 to cease^H7673 out of the land^H776, that all women^H802 may be taught^H3256 not to do^H6213 after your lewdness^H2154. 49And they shall recompense^H5414 your lewdness^H2154 upon you, and ye shall bear^H5375 the sins^H2399 of your idols^H1544; and ye shall know^H3045 that I am the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069.
