Again the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
3
and say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are from the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.
4
As for your birth, on the day you were born your navel cord was not cut, nor were you washed in water to cleanse you; you were not rubbed with salt nor wrapped in swaddling cloths.
5
No eye pitied you, to do any of these things for you, to have compassion on you; but you were thrown out into the open field, for you yourself were loathed on the day you were born.
6
And when I passed by you and saw you squirming in your blood, I said to you in your blood, Live! Yes, I said to you in your blood, Live!
7
I have made you a multitude, like a plant in the field; and you grew, became great, bedecked with ornaments. Your breasts were formed, your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.
8
When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread the edge of My garment over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord Jehovah.
9
Then I washed you in water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood, and I anointed you with oil.
10
I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk.
11
I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck.
12
And I put a ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly beautiful, and succeeded to royalty.
14
Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed upon you, declares the Lord Jehovah.
15
But you trusted in your own beauty, committed adultery because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.
16
You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored high places for yourself, and committed adultery on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.

Also My food which I gave you; the fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you; you set it before them as a soothing aroma; and so it was, says the Lord Jehovah.
20
Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter,
21
that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the fire?
22
And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, squirming in your blood.
23
And so it was, after all your wickedness (Woe, woe unto you! declares the Lord Jehovah);
24
that you also built for yourself a mound, and made a high place for yourself in every open place.
25
You built your high places at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.

You also committed adultery with the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to provoke Me to anger.

You also committed adultery with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you committed adultery with them and still were not satisfied.
29
Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry in the land of Canaan, as far as Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.
30
How weak is your heart! declares the Lord Jehovah, seeing you do all these things; the deeds of a domineering woman of prostitution.
31
You build your mound at the head of every road, and built your high place in every open place. Yet you were not like a prostitute, in that you scorned payment.
32
You are an adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband.
33
Men give gifts to all prostitutes, but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.
34
You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a prostitute. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.
35
Now then, O prostitute! Hear the Word of Jehovah!
36
Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
37
surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38
And I will judge you as women who commit adultery or who shed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.
39
I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your mounds and break down your high places. They shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
40
They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones and cut you with their swords.
41
And they shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will put an end to your harlotry, and you shall no longer hire lovers.
42
So I will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more.
43
Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but agitated Me with all these things, surely I will also recompense your deeds upon your own head, says the Lord Jehovah. And you shall not commit licentiousness in addition to all your abominations.
44
Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you: Like mother, like daughter!
45
You are your mother's daughter, loathing her husband and children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.
46
And your older sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.
47
Yet you did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48
As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.
49
Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50
And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.
51
Samaria did not commit half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.
52
You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because your sins were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters.
53
When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back the captives of your captivity among them,
54
so that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did, since you comforted them.
55
When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.
56
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,
57
before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you from all around.
58
You have paid for your licentiousness and your abominations, declares Jehovah.
59
For thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
60
Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.
61
Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.
62
And I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall know that I am Jehovah,
63
so that you may remember and be ashamed. And you will never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide atonement for you for all that you have done, declares the Lord Jehovah.
Ezekiel 23:1-49
1
The Word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying:
2
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3
They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth; their breasts were handled, their virgin nipples were fondled.
4
Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; they were Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
5
Oholah committed adultery even though she was Mine; and she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians,
6
who were clothed in purple, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7
Thus she committed her adultery with them, all of them choice men of Assyria; and with all for whom she lusted, with all their idols, she defiled herself.
8
She has never given up her harlotry brought from Egypt, for in her youth they had lain with her, fondled her virgin breasts, and poured out their immorality upon her.
9
Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.
10
They uncovered her nakedness, took away her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword; she became a byword among women, for they had executed judgment on her.
11
Now although her sister Oholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her lust than she, and in her harlotry, more than her sister's harlotry.
12
She lusted for the neighboring Assyrians, captains and rulers, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13
Then I saw that she was defiled; both the same way.
14
But she added to her harlotry; she looked at men portrayed on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
15
girded with waistbands around their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, in the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16
As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17
And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their immorality; so she was defiled by them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18
So she uncovered her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness. Then My soul was alienated from her, just as My soul was alienated from her sister.
19
Yet she multiplied her harlotry in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had committed adultery in the land of Egypt.
20
For she lusted for her paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21
Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples because of your youthful breasts.
22
Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you from every side:
23
The Babylonians, all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, all the Assyrians with them, all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24
And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and wheels, with a company of people. They shall array against you buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will entrust judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
25
I will set My jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you; they shall remove your nose and your ears, and the rest of you shall fall by the sword; they shall take your sons and your daughters, and the rest of you shall be devoured by fire.
26
They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewelry.
27
Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt anymore.
28
For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Surely I will deliver you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those from whom your soul is alienated.
29
They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your adultery shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.
30
I will do these things to you because you have gone whoring after the nations, because you have become defiled by their idols.
31
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her cup into your hand.
32
Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You shall drink of your sister's cup, deep and wide; you shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision; for it contains much.
33
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.
34
You shall drink and drain it, you shall break its shards, and tear off your own breasts; for I have spoken, declares the Lord Jehovah.
35
Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, therefore you shall bear the penalty of your lewdness and your harlotry.
36
Jehovah also said to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37
For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour them.
38
Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.
39
For after they had slain their children to their idols, on the same day they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, this they have done in the midst of My house.
40
Furthermore you sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and there they came. And you washed yourself for them, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.
41
You sat on a stately couch, with a table prepared before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil.
42
And the sound of a multitude at ease was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort, who put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43
Then I said concerning her who was worn out in adulteries, Will they commit adultery with her now, and she with them?
44
Yet they went in to her, as men go in to a woman of harlotry; thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women.
45
And righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46
For thus says the Lord Jehovah: Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to terror and plunder.
47
And the company shall stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
48
Thus I will bring an end to lewdness from the land, that all women may be taught not to do according to your lewdness.
49
And they shall repay you for your lewdness, and you shall pay for your idolatrous sins. And you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
