Ezekiel 23:30-39 New English Translation (NET)

30. I will do these things to you because you engaged in prostitution with the nations, polluting yourself with their idols.

31. You have followed the ways of your sister, so I will place her cup of judgment in your hand.

32. “This is what the sovereign Lord says: “You will drink your sister’s deep and wide cup; you will be scorned and derided, for it holds a great deal.

33. You will be overcome by drunkenness and sorrow. The cup of your sister Samaria is a cup of horror and desolation.

34. You will drain it dry, gnaw its pieces, and tear out your breasts, for I have spoken, declares the sovereign Lord.

35. “Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says: Because you have forgotten me and completely disregarded me, you must bear now the punishment for your obscene conduct and prostitution.”

36. The Lord said to me: “Son of man, are you willing to pronounce judgment on Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominable deeds!

37. For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and their sons, whom they bore to me, they have passed through the fire as food to their idols.

38. Moreover, they have done this to me: In the very same day they desecrated my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths.

39. On the same day they slaughtered their sons for their idols, they came to my sanctuary to desecrate it. This is what they have done in the middle of my house.
