Ezekiel 23:31-39 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

31. You followed in your sister's footsteps, and so I will give you the same cup of punishment to drink.”

32. The Sovereign Lord says,“You will drink from your sister's cup;it is large and deep.Everyone will scorn and mock you;the cup is full.

33. It will make you miserable and drunk,that cup of fear and ruin,your sister Samaria's cup.

34. You will drink and drain it dry,and with its broken piecestear your breast.I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken.”

35. Now this is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “Because you forgot me and turned your back on me, you will suffer for your lust and your prostitution.”

36. The Lord said to me, “Mortal man, are you ready to judge Oholah and Oholibah? Accuse them of the disgusting things they have done.

37. They have committed adultery and murder — adultery with idols and murder of the children they bore me. They sacrificed my children to their idols.

38. And that is not all they did. They profaned my Temple and broke the Sabbath, which I had established.

39. The very day that they killed my children as sacrifices to idols, they came to my Temple and profaned it!
