Ezekiel 23 1 The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying , Copy 2 Son of man , there were two women , the daughters of one mother : Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine ; and she doted on her lovers , on the Assyrians her neighbours , Copy 6 Which were clothed with blue , captains and rulers , all of them desirable young men , horsemen riding upon horses . Copy 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. Copy 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. Copy 9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers , into the hand of the Assyrians , upon whom she doted . Copy 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. Copy 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 . Copy 12 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours , captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously , horsemen riding upon horses , all of them desirable young men . Copy 13 Then I saw that she was defiled , that they took both one way , Copy 14 And that she increased her whoredoms : for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall , the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion , Copy 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 : Copy 16 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes , she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea . Copy 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. Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 20 For she doted upon their paramours , whose flesh is as the flesh of asses , and whose issue is like the issue of horses . Copy 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth , in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth . Copy 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 ; Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 26 They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes , and take away thy fair jewels . Copy 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. Copy 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 : Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister ; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand . Copy 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 . Copy 33 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow , with the cup of astonishment and desolation , with the cup of thy sister Samaria . Copy 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 . Copy 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 . Copy 36 The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man , wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah ? yea, declare unto them their abominations ; Copy 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. Copy 38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day , and have profaned my sabbaths . Copy 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 . Copy 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 , Copy 41 And satest upon a stately bed , and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil . Copy 42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness , which put bracelets upon their hands , and beautiful crowns upon their heads . Copy 43 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries , Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them? Copy 44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot : so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah , the lewd women . Copy 45 And the righteous men , they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses , and after the manner of women that shed blood ; because they are adulteresses , and blood is in their hands . Copy 46 For thus saith the Lord God ; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled . Copy 47 And the company shall stone them with stones , and dispatch them with their swords ; they shall slay their sons and their daughters , and burn up their houses with fire . Copy 48 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land , that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness . Copy 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols : and ye shall know that I am the Lord God . Copy
