Ezekiel 23:33-49 ▼

33 With drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled—the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria—

34 and you will drink it and drain it, and its shards you will dash and tear at your breasts! For I have spoken,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.

35 Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because you have forgotten Me, and you have cast Me behind your back, you also will bear your wickedness and your prostitutions.’”

36 And YHWH said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? You must make known to them their abominations.

37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; with their idols they have committed adultery, and even their sons whom they bore to Me, they made pass through the fire for them as food.

38 Moreover this they have done to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on that day, and My Sabbaths have profaned.

39 For in their slaughtering their children to their idols, they came into My sanctuary on that day to profane it; and behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,

40 and also that they sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold—they came, those for whom you washed yourself and painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.

41 And you sat on a glorious couch, with a table arranged before it, and My incense and My oil you had set on it.

42 And the voice of a crowd at ease was with her, and to men from the multitude of mankind were brought drunkards from the wilderness, and they gave bracelets to their wrists and crowns of beauty upon their heads.

43 And I said of her who was worn out in adulteries, ‘Now will they commit prostitutions with her—and she also!’

44 And they have come in to her as the coming in to a woman, a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, women of wickedness!

45 And righteous men, they will pass judgment on them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of those shedding blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands!

46 For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Bring up against them an assembly, and give them to terror and plunder!

47 And the assembly will stone them with stones and will cut down them with their swords; their sons and their daughters they will slay, they will burn and their houses with the fire.

48 And this wickedness I will make cease from the land, and all the women will be admonished and they will not act according to your⁺ wickedness.

49 And they will put your⁺ wickedness upon you⁺, and the sins of your⁺ idols you⁺ will bear. And you⁺ will know that I am the Lord YHWH.’”
