22. The Lord God said:Oholibah, though you no longer want to be with your lovers, they will surround you like enemies, when I turn them against you.

23. I will gather all the handsome young officials and the high-ranking cavalry officers from Babylonia and Assyria, as well as from the Chaldean tribes of Pekod, Shoa, and Koa.

24. Their large armies will come from the north with chariots and wagons carrying weapons. They will wear shields and helmets and will surround you, and I will let them judge and sentence you according to their own laws.

25. I am angry with you, so I will let them be very cruel. They will cut off your nose and ears; they will kill your children and put to death anyone in your family who is still alive.

26. Your clothes and jewellery will be torn off.

27. I will stop your wickedness and the prostitution you started back in Egypt. You will never want to think about those days again.

28. I, the Lord God, am ready to hand you over to those hateful enemies that you find so disgusting.

29. They will cruelly take away everything you have worked for and strip you naked. Then everyone will see you for the prostitute you really are. Your own vulgar sins
