23. Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the Assyrians with them, the most handsome young men, all of them governors and officers, career officers and conscripts, all of them on horseback.
24. They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a great army, with shield, buckler, and helmet; and they will surround you. I will hand your punishment over to them, and they will judge you according to their laws.
25. I will direct my passion against you, and they will deal with you in wrath. They will cut off your nose and ears, and those who are left will fall by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and those who are left will be burned with fire.
26. They will strip your clothing from you and remove your beautiful crown.
27. That’s how I will put an end to your lewdness and your Egyptian-styled promiscuity. Never again will you stare at them, and you won’t remember Egypt anymore.
28. The Lord God proclaims: I’m now handing you over to those whom you hate and from whom you recoil.
29. They will deal hatefully with you: They will seize your pay and leave you completely naked. Your promiscuity, betrayal, and seductions will be exposed.
30. This will be done to you because you sold yourself to the nations and became defiled by their idols.
31. You followed in your sister’s path, so I have put her cup into your hand.
32. The Lord God proclaims:Deep and wide is your sister’s cup. Drink!Appointed for abuse and scorn, it overflows.
33. You will be filled with drunken sadness.A cup of devastation and dismayis the cup of your sister Samaria.
34. Drink it, drain it dry, break it into pieces,and tear off your breasts, for I have spoken.This is what the Lord God says.
35. So now the Lord God proclaims: Because you forgot me and turned your back on me, you alone will bear the consequences of your betrayal and promiscuities.
36. Then the Lord said to me, Human one, judge Oholah and Oholibah, and make known their detestable practices to them.
37. They committed adultery, so now blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols, and they even took their children whom they had borne to me and offered them up to be consumed for them.
38. They also did this to me: On the same day, they made my sanctuary unclean and made my sabbaths impure.
