46
Your elder sister who dwells on your left hand is Samaria, she and her daughters: and your younger sister, that dwells on your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
47
Yet notwithstanding you have not walked in their ways, neither have you done according to their iniquities within a little, but you have exceeded them in all your ways.
48
[As] I live, says the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.
49
Moreover this was the sin of your sister Sodom- pride. She and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of bread [and] in abundance; this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy.
50
And they boasted, and worked iniquities before Me: so I cut them off as I saw [fit].
51
Also Samaria has not sinned according to half of your sins; but you have multiplied your iniquities beyond them, and you have justified your sisters in all your iniquities which you have committed.
52
You therefore bear your punishment, for that you have corrupted your sisters by your sins which you have committed beyond them; and you have made them [appear] more righteous than yourself: you therefore be ashamed, and bear your dishonor, in that you have justified your sisters.
53
And I will turn their captivity, [even] the captivity of Sodom and her daughters; and I will turn the captivity of Samaria and her daughters; and I will turn your captivity in the midst of them;
54
that you may bear your punishment, and be dishonored for all that you have done in provoking Me to anger.
55
And your sister Sodom and her daughters shall be restored as they were at the beginning, and you and your daughters shall be restored as you were at the beginning.
56
And surely your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the days of your pride;
57
before your wickedness was discovered, even now you are the reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all that are round about her, [even] of the daughters of the Philistines that compass you round about.
58
[As for] your ungodliness and your iniquities, you have borne them, says the Lord.
59
Thus says the Lord: I will even do to you as you have done, as you have dealt shamefully in these things to transgress My covenant.
60
And I will remember My covenant, [made] with you in the days of your infancy, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
61
Then you shall remember your way, and shall be utterly dishonored when you receive your elder sisters with your younger ones, and I will give them to you for building up, but not by your covenant.
62
And I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall know that I am the Lord,
63
that you may remember, and be ashamed, and may no more be able to open your mouth for your shame, when I am reconciled to you for all that you have done, says the Lord.
Ezekiel 23:1-49
1
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:
3
and they went a-whoring in Egypt in their youth. There their breasts fell, there they lost their virginity.
4
And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they were Mine, and bore sons and daughters: and [as for] their names, Samaria was Oholah, and Jerusalem was Oholibah.
5
And Oholah went a-whoring from Me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that were her neighbors,
6
clothed with purple, princes and captains; [they were] young men and choice, all horsemen riding on horses.
7
And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whomsoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all [their] devices.
8
And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.
9
Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10
They uncovered her shame; they took her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; and she became a byword among women; and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
11
And her sister Oholibah saw [it], and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.
12
She doted upon the sons of the Assyrian, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; [they were] all choice young men.
13
And I saw that they were defiled, [that] the two [had] one way.
14
And she increased her fornication, and she saw men painted on the wall, likenesses of the Chaldeans painted with a pencil,
15
having variegated belts on their loins, having also richly dyed [turbans] upon their heads; all had a princely appearance, the likeness of the children of the Chaldeans, of their native land.
16
And she doted upon them as soon as she saw them, and sent forth messengers to them into the land of the Chaldeans.
17
And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of rest, and they defiled her in her fornication, and she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18
And she exposed her fornication, and exposed her shame. And My soul was alienated from her, even as My soul was alienated from her sister.
19
And you multiplied your fornication, so as to call to remembrance the days of your youth, in which you committed harlotry in Egypt,
20
and you doted upon the Chaldeans, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and their members [as] the members of horses.
21
And you looked upon the iniquity of your youth, [the things] which you did in Egypt in your lodgings, where were the breasts of your youth.
22
Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord: Behold, I [will] stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them upon you round about,
23
the children of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the sons of the Assyrians with them; choice young men, governors and captains, all princes and renowned, riding on horses.
24
And they all shall come upon you from the north, chariots and wheels, with a multitude of nations, shields and targets; and [the enemy] shall set a watch against you round about;and I will set judgment before them, and they shall take vengeance on you with their judgements.
25
And I will bring upon you My jealousy, and they shall deal with you in great wrath. They shall take away your nose and your ears, and shall cast down your remnant with the sword. They shall take your sons and your daughters, and fire shall devour your remnant.
26
And they shall strip you of your clothing, and take [away] your ornaments.
27
So I will turn back your ungodliness from you, and your fornication from the land of Egypt; and you shall not lift up your eyes upon them, and shall no more remember Egypt.
28
Wherefore thus says the Lord God: Behold, I [will] deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, from whom your soul is alienated.
29
And they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take all [the fruits] of your labors and your toils, and you shall be naked and bare; and the shame of your fornication shall be exposed. And your ungodliness and your fornication
30
has brought this upon you, in that you went a-whoring after the nations, and defiled yourself with their devices.
31
You walked in the way of your sister; and I will put her cup into your hands.
32
Thus says the Lord: Drink your sister's cup, deep and large and full, to cause complete drunkenness.
33
And you shall be thoroughly weakened; and the cup of destruction, the cup of your sister Samaria,
34
drink it, and I will take away her feasts and her new moons; for I have spoken [it], says the Lord.
35
Therefore thus says the Lord: Because you have forgotten Me, and have cast Me behind your back, therefore receive [the reward] of your ungodliness and your fornication.
36
And the Lord said to me, Son of man, will you not judge Oholah and Oholibah, and declare to them their iniquities?
37
For they have committed adultery, and blood was in their hands, they committed adultery with their devices, and they passed through the fire to them their children which they bore to Me.
38
So long too as they did these things to Me, they defiled My sanctuary, and profaned My Sabbaths.
39
And when they sacrificed their children to their idols, they also went into My sanctuary to profane it; and whereas they did thus in the midst of My house,
40
and whereas they did thus to the men that came from afar, to whom they sent messengers, and as soon as they came, immediately you washed yourself, and painted your eyes and adorned yourself with ornaments,
41
and sat on a prepared bed, and before it [there was] a table set out, and [as for] My incense and My oil, they rejoiced in them,
42
and they raised a sound of music, and [that] with men coming from the wilderness out of a multitude of men, and they put bracelets on their hands, and a crown of glory on their heads.
43
Therefore I said, Do they not commit adultery with these? And has she also gone a-whoring [after] the manner of a harlot?
44
And they went in to her, as [men] go in to a harlot; so they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, to work iniquity.
45
And they are just men, and shall take vengeance on them with the judgment of an adulteress and the judgment of blood, for they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46
Thus says the Lord God: Bring up a multitude upon them, and send trouble and plunder into the midst of them.
47
And stone them with the stones of a multitude, and pierce them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and shall burn up their houses.
48
And I will remove ungodliness out of the land, and all the women shall be instructed, and shall not do according to their ungodliness.
49
And your ungodliness shall be recompensed upon you, and you shall bear the guilt of your devices, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Hosea 1:1-3
1
The word of the Lord which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.
2
The beginning of the word of the Lord by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take to yourself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.
3
So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.
Revelation 17:1-18
1
Then one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,
2
with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and those dwelling on the earth became drunk from the wine of her fornication."
3
And he led me away in [the] Spirit, into a deserted [place]. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast being filled with names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, gilded with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup being filled with abominations and the filthiness of the fornication of the earth.
5
And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6
I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.
7
But the angel said to me, "Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the Beast carrying her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8
The Beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to perdition. And those who dwell on the earth shall marvel, whose name is not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the Beast that was, and is not, and shall be present.
9
Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
10
And there are seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And whenever he comes, he must abide [for] a short time.
11
And the Beast which was, and is not, is also an eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
12
And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings who not yet have received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings for one hour with the Beast.
13
These have one purpose, and they will give their power and authority to the Beast.
14
These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, and elect, and faithful."
15
Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages.
16
And the ten horns which you saw, and the Beast, these will hate the harlot, and will make her desolated and naked, and will eat her flesh, and will burn her up with fire.
17
For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the Beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.
18
And the woman whom you saw is that great city which has royal rule over the kings of the earth."
