Ezekiel 23:22-35

22Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will stir up against you your lovers afrom whom you turned in disgust, band I will bring them against you from every side: 23the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, cPekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, ddesirable young men, egovernors and commanders all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. 24And 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. gThey shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet; and hI will commit the judgment to them, and ithey shall judge you according to their judgments.
25And I will direct my jealousy against you, jthat they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. kThey shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire. 26 lThey shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels. 27 mThus I will put an end to your lewdness and nyour whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.

28For thus says the Lord God: oBehold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, pinto the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust, 29and qthey shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor rand leave you naked and bare, and sthe nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring 30have brought this upon you, because tyou played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols. 31You have gone the way of your sister; utherefore I will give vher cup into your hand. 32Thus 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;
33you will be filled with wdrunkenness and sorrow.
xA cup of horror and desolation,
the cup of yyour sister Samaria;
34 zyou shall drink it and drain it out,
and gnaw its shards,
and tear your breasts;
for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.
35Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because aayou have forgotten me and abcast me behind your back, you yourself acmust bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring.”
