Ezekiel 23:27-39 English Standard Version (ESV)

27. Thus I will put an end to your lewdness and your whoring begun in the land of Egypt, so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them or remember Egypt anymore.

28. “For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver you into the hands of those whom you hate, into the hands of those from whom you turned in disgust,

29. and they shall deal with you in hatred and take away all the fruit of your labor and leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your whoring shall be uncovered. Your lewdness and your whoring

30. have brought this upon you, because you played the whore with the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.

31. You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.

32. Thus says the Lord God:“You shall drink your sister’s cupthat is deep and large;you shall be laughed at and held in derision,for it contains much;

33. you will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow. A cup of horror and desolation,the cup of your sister Samaria;

34. you shall drink it and drain it out,and gnaw its shards,and tear your breasts;for I have spoken, declares the Lord God.

35. Therefore thus says the Lord God: Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, you yourself must bear the consequences of your lewdness and whoring.”

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

37. For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me.

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

39. For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, this is what they did in my house.
