2 Kings 17:19-20
19 aJudah also did not keep the commandments of the Lord their God, but walked in the customs that Israel had introduced. 20And the Lord rejected all the descendants of Israel and afflicted them band gave them into the hand of plunderers, until he had cast them out of his sight.Isaiah 8:7-8
7therefore, behold, the Lord is bringing up against them cthe waters of dthe River, mighty and many, the king of Assyria and all his glory. And it ewill rise over all its channels and go over all its banks, 8and it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass on, freaching even to the neck, and its goutspread wings will fill the breadth of your land, hO Immanuel.”Isaiah 10:6
6Against a igodless nation I send him,and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take jspoil and seize plunder,
and to ktread them down like the mire of the streets.
Jeremiah 3:8-11
8She saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, lI had sent her away with ma decree of divorce. nYet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she too went oand played the whore. 9Because she took her whoredom lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with pstone and tree. 10Yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah did not return to me qwith her whole heart, but in pretense, declares the Lord.”11And the Lord said to me, r“Faithless Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.
Ezekiel 23:11-21
11 s“Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became tmore corrupt than her sister ▼▼Hebrew than she
in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister. 12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, vall of them desirable young men. 13And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14But she carried her whoring further. She saw men wportrayed on the wall, the ximages of ythe Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16When she saw them, she lusted after them and zsent messengers to them aain Chaldea. 17And the Babylonians came to her abinto the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, acshe turned from them in disgust. 18When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. 19Yet she increased her whoring, adremembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed ▼▼Vulgate, Syriac; Hebrew bosom for the sake of
your young breasts.”
