19. “Yet she multiplied her harlotryIn calling to remembrance the days of her youth,When she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20. For she lusted for her paramours,Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21. Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth,When the Egyptians pressed your bosomBecause of your youthful breasts.
22. “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God:‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you,From whom you have alienated yourself,And I will bring them against you from every side:
23. The Babylonians,All the Chaldeans,Pekod, Shoa, Koa,All the Assyrians with them,All of them desirable young men,Governors and rulers,Captains and men of renown,All of them riding on horses.
24. And they shall come against youWith chariots, wagons, and war-horses,With a horde of people.They shall array against youBuckler, shield, and helmet all around.‘I will delegate judgment to them,And they shall judge you according to their judgments.
25. I will set My jealousy against you,And they shall deal furiously with you;They shall remove 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 fire.
26. They shall also strip you of your clothesAnd take away your beautiful jewelry.
27. ‘Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotryBrought from the land of Egypt,So that you will not lift your eyes to them,Nor remember Egypt anymore.’
28. “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those from whom you alienated yourself.
29. They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.
30. I will do these things to you because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.
31. You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her cup in your hand.’
32. “Thus says the Lord God:‘You shall drink of your sister’s cup,The deep and wide one;You shall be laughed to scornAnd held in derision;It contains much.
33. You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,The cup of horror and desolation,The cup of your sister Samaria.
34. You shall drink and drain it,You shall break its shards,And tear at 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,Therefore you shall bear the penaltyOf your lewdness and your harlotry.’ ”
36. The Lord also 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 on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour them.
