21. Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.
22. Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom you were alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23. the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them. All of them are desirable young men, captains and rulers, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24. They shall come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. And I will set the judgment before them, and they shall judge you according to their customs.
25. I will set My jealousy against you, so that they deal furiously with you. They shall take away your nose and your ears. And your remnant shall fall by the sword. They shall take your sons and your daughters. And your remnant shall be devoured by the fire.
26. They shall also strip you of your clothes and take away your fair jewels.
27. Thus I will make your lewdness and your harlotry brought from the land of Egypt to cease from you so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.
28. For thus says the Lord God: I will deliver you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom you were alienated.
29. And they shall deal with you hatefully, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your harlotries shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotries.
30. I will do these things to you because you have gone whoring after the nations, because you have polluted yourself with their idols.
31. You have walked in the way of your sister. Therefore I will give her cup into your hand.
32. Thus says the Lord God: You shall drink of your sister’s cup,which is deep and wide;you shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision;it contains much.
33. You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,the cup of horror and desolation,the cup of your sister Samaria.
34. You shall drink it and drain it,then you shall gnaw at its fragmentsand tear off your own breasts;for I have spoken, says the Lord God.
35. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, now bear the punishment of your lewdness and your harlotries.
