EZE-23:1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
EZE-23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one
mother:
EZE-23:3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed
whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and
there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
EZE-23:4 And the names of them [were] Aholah the elder, and
Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and
daughters. Thus [were] their names; Samaria [is] Aholah, and
Jerusalem Aholibah.
EZE-23:5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she
doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
EZE-23:6 [Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers,
all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
EZE-23:7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all
them [that were] the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom
she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
EZE-23:8 Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt:
for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts
of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
EZE-23:9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her
lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
EZE-23:10 These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and
her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became
famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
EZE-23:11 And when her sister Aholibah saw [this], she was more
corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms
more than her sister in [her] whoredoms.
EZE-23:12 She doted upon the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding
upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
EZE-23:13 Then I saw that she was defiled, [that] they [took]
both one way,
EZE-23:14 And [that] she increased her whoredoms: for when she
saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans
portrayed with vermilion,
EZE-23:15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in
dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to,
after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of
their nativity:
EZE-23:16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted
upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
EZE-23:17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love,
and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted
with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
EZE-23:18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her
nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind
was alienated from her sister.
EZE-23:19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to
remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the
harlot in the land of Egypt.
EZE-23:20 For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh [is
as] the flesh of asses, and whose issue [is like] the issue of
horses.
EZE-23:21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy
youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of
thy youth.
EZE-23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold,
I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is
alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
EZE-23:23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and
Shoa, and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them: all of them
desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and
renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
EZE-23:24 And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons,
and wheels, and with an assembly of people, [which] shall set
against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I
will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee
according to their judgments.
EZE-23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they
shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose
and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they
shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be
devoured by the fire.
EZE-23:26 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and
take away thy fair jewels.
EZE-23:27 Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and
thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou
shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any
more.
EZE-23:28 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver
thee into the hand [of them] whom thou hatest, into the hand [of
them] from whom thy mind is alienated:
EZE-23:29 And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall
take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare:
and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy
lewdness and thy whoredoms.
EZE-23:30 I will do these [things] unto thee, because thou hast
gone a whoring after the heathen, [and] because thou art
polluted with their idols.
EZE-23:31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore
will I give her cup into thine hand.
EZE-23:32 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy
sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and
had in derision; it containeth much.
EZE-23:33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with
the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy
sister Samaria.
EZE-23:34 Thou shalt even drink it and suck [it] out, and thou
shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts:
for I have spoken [it], saith the Lord GOD.
EZE-23:35 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast
forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou
also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
EZE-23:36 The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou
judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their
abominations;
EZE-23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood [is] in
their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery,
and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass
for them through [the fire], to devour [them].
EZE-23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have
defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my
sabbaths.
EZE-23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols,
then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and,
lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
EZE-23:40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come
from far, unto whom a messenger [was] sent; and, lo, they came:
for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and
deckedst thyself with ornaments,
EZE-23:41 And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared
before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
EZE-23:42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease [was] with
