Ezekiel 23:31-42 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

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 will drink of your sister’s cup,which is deep and large.You will be ridiculed and held in derision.It contains much.

33. You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,with the cup of astonishment and desolation,with the cup of your sister Samaria.

34. You will even drink it and drain it out.You will gnaw the broken pieces of it,and will tear your breasts;for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.

35. “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”

36. The Lord said moreover 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. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.

38. Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

39. For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house.

40. “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments,

41. and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.

42. “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
