21. So you revisited the promiscuity of your youth, when the Egyptians used to fondle your bosom and youthful breasts.
22. “Therefore Oholibah, thus says Adonai Elohim, behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom you turned in disgust. I will bring them against you on every side:
23. the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa and Koa and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and officers, all of them riding on horses.
24. They will come against you with armed chariots, whirling wheels and an assembly of people. They will set themselves against you on every side with armor, shield and helmet. I will delegate judgment to them, so they will judge you according to their standards of justice.
25. I will vent My jealousy against you, letting them deal with you in fury. They will cut off your nose and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.
26. They will strip your clothes and take your beautiful jewelry.
27. I will put an end to you and your immorality brought from the land of Egypt. You will no longer lift your eyes toward them or remember Egypt anymore.”
28. For thus says Adonai Elohim: “Behold, I will give you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those you turned away from in disgust.
29. They will treat you with hatred, take all your property and leave you naked and exposed. The vulgarity of your prostitutions will be uncovered—your debauchery and your promiscuity.
30. These things will be done to you, for you have gone as a harlot after the nations, so you are defiled with their idols.
31. You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will give her cup into your hand.”
32. Thus says Adonai Elohim: “You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and wide. You will be for laughter and ridicule. It holds so much!
33. You will be filled with drunkenness and agony, a cup of horror and desolation—the cup of your sister Samaria.
34. You will drink it and drain it, gnaw its shards and tear your breasts. For I have spoken.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
35. Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim: “Because you have forgotten Me and thrust Me behind your back, you will also bear your obscenity and your harlotry.”
36. Then Adonai said to me, “Son of man, will you pass judgment on Oholah and Oholibah? Confront them with their disgusting practices.
37. For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols and even offered their children, whom they bore for Me, to be devoured.
