New Testament

Ezekiel 16:37-44 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

37. So I will gather all your lovers with whom you found pleasure. Yes, I will gather all those you loved and those you hated. Yes, I will gather them against you from all around. I will strip you naked in front of them. Then they will be able to see your nakedness.

38. So I will punish you as judges punish women guilty of adultery. I will punish you as murderers are punished. I will put you to death because I am angry and jealous.

39. I will also hand you over to your lovers. They will tear down your places of worship. They will destroy the places where you worship false gods. They will tear off your clothes and take away your jewelry. They will leave you naked and bare.

40. They will bring a crowd against you. They will throw stones at you and cut you into pieces with their swords.

41. They will burn your houses with fire. They will punish you in front of many women. Then I will put an end to your sexual sins. And you will no longer pay your lovers.

42. Then I will rest from my anger against you. I will stop being jealous. I will be quiet and not angry anymore.

43. “‘You didn’t remember when you were young. So you have made me angry in all these ways. And I will repay you for what you have done, says the Lord God. Didn’t you add sexual sins to all your other acts which I hate?

44. “‘Everyone who uses wise sayings will say this about you: “The daughter is like her mother.”
