Ezekiel 23:28-38 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

36. The Lord moreover said to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

37. For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. Thus with their idols they have committed adultery and have also caused their sons whom they bore to Me to pass through the fire for them as food.

38. Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary in the same day and have profaned My Sabbaths.
