Jeremiah 2:20

you bowed down ^hlike a whore.

Look at your way ^jin the valley;

a restless young camel running here and there,

Ezekiel 16:26

26 ^kYou also played the whore ^lwith the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, ^mmultiplying your whoring, ⁿto provoke me to anger.

Ezekiel 16:28-29

28 ^oYou played the whore also ^pwith the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied; yes, you played the whore with them, and still you were not satisfied. 29 You multiplied your whoring also with the trading land ^qof Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied.

Ezekiel 23:4-49

4 Oholah was the name of the elder and Oholibah the name of her sister. ^rThey became mine, and they ^sbore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is ^tSamaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.

5 “Oholah played the whore ^uwhile she was mine, and ^vshe lusted after her lovers ^wthe Assyrians, warriors 6 clothed in purple, ^xgovernors and commanders, ^yall of them desirable young men, ^zhorsemen riding on horses. 7 She bestowed her whoring upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols of everyone after whom she lusted. 8 She did not give up her whoring ^aathat she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her. 9 Therefore ^abI delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10 ^acThese uncovered her nakedness; ^adthey seized her sons and her daughters; and as for her, they killed her with the sword; and she became ^aea byword among women, ^afwhen judgment had been executed on her.

11 ^ag“Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became ^ahmore corrupt than her sister ^{▼▼Hebrew than she} in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister. 12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, ^ajall of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14 But she carried her whoring further. She saw men ^akportrayed on the wall, the ^alimages of ^amthe Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15 wearing 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. 16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and ^ansent messengers to them ^aoin Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her ^apinto the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, ^aqshe turned from them in disgust. 18 When 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. 19 Yet she increased her whoring, ^arremembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20 and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21 Thus 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.”

22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers ^atfrom whom you turned in disgust, ^auand I will bring them against you from every side: 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, ^avPekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, ^awdesirable young men, ^axgovernors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. 24 And they shall come against you from the north ^{▼▼Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown} with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples. ^azThey shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and ^baI will commit the judgment to them, and ^bbthey shall judge you according to their judgments. 25 And I will direct my jealousy against you, ^bcthat they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. ^bdThey shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire. 26 ^beThey shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels. 27 ^bfThus I will put an end to your lewdness and ^bgyour whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.

28 “For thus says the Lord God: ^bhBehold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, ^biinto the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust, 29 and ^bjthey shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor ^bkand leave you naked and bare, and ^blthe nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring 30 have brought this upon you, because ^bmyou played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. 31 You have gone the way of your sister; ^bntherefore I will give ^boher cup into your hand. 32 Thus says the Lord God:

“You shall drink your sister’s cup
that is deep and large;
you shall be laughed at and held in derision,
for it contains much;
33 you will be filled with ^bpdrunkenness and sorrow.
^bqA cup of horror and desolation,
the cup of ^bryour sister Samaria;
34 ^bsyou shall drink it and drain it out,
and gnaw its shards,
and tear your breasts;
for I have spoken, declares the Lord God. 35 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because ^btyou have forgotten me and ^bucast me behind your back, you yourself ^bvmust bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring.”

36 The Lord said to me: ^bw“Son of man, ^bxwill you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Declare to them their abominations. 37 For ^bythey have committed adultery, ^bzand blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even ^caoffered up ^{▼▼Or have even made pass through the fire} to them for food the children whom they had borne to me. 38 Moreover, this they have done to me: ^ccthey have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and ^cdprofaned my Sabbaths. 39 For when ^cethey had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day ^cfthey came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, ^cgthis is what they did in my house. 40 They even sent for men to come from afar, ^chto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, ^cipainted your eyes, ^cjand adorned yourself with ornaments. 41 You sat on ^cka stately couch, with a table spread before it ^clon which you had placed my incense and ^cmmy oil. 42 The ^cnsound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards ^{▼▼Or Sabeans} were brought from the wilderness; and they put ^cpbracelets on the hands of the women, and ^cqbeautiful crowns on their heads.

43 “Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!' ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain} 44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women! 45 But righteous men ^csshall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.”

46 For thus says the Lord God: ^ct“Bring up a vast host against them, and make them ^cuan object of terror and ^cva plunder. 47 ^cwAnd the host shall stone them and cut them down with their swords. ^cxThey shall kill their sons and their daughters, and ^cyburn up their houses. 48 ^czThus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done. 49 And they shall return your lewdness upon you, and ^dayou shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry, and ^dbyou shall know that I am the Lord God.”
