katapi HOME Ezekiel 23:22-35 - Judgement of the younger sister.  Eze.23.22-35

23 22 Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says Yahweh GOD: "Behold, I will rouse against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side: 23 23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and warriors, all of them riding on horses. 23 24 And they shall come against you from the north with chariots and wagons and a host of peoples; they shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler, shield, and helmet, and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments. 23 25 And I will direct my indignation against you, that they may deal with you in fury. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors shall fall by the sword. They shall seize your sons and your daughters, and your survivors shall be devoured by fire. 23 26 They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your fine jewels. 23 27 Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to the Egyptians or remember them any more. 23 28 For thus says Yahweh GOD: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust; 23 29 and they shall deal with you in hatred, and take away all the fruit of your labour, and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your harlotry 23 30 have brought this upon you, because you played the harlot with the nations, and polluted yourself with their idols. 23 31 You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand. 23 32 Thus says Yahweh GOD:

"You shall drink your sister's cup
which is deep and large;
you shall be laughed at and held in derision,
for it contains much;
23 33 you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow.
A cup of horror and desolation,
is the cup of your sister Samaria;
23 34 you shall drink it and drain it out,
and pluck out your hair,
and tear your breasts;
for I have spoken, says Yahweh GOD. 23 35 Therefore thus says Yahweh GOD: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore bear the consequences of your lewdness and harlotry."
