32. This is what the Lord GOD says: “You will drink your sister’s cup of poison. It is a tall, wide cup of poison. It holds much poison. People will laugh at you and make fun of you.
33. You will stagger like a drunk. You will become very dizzy. That is the cup of destruction and devastation. It is like the cup of punishment that your sister drank.
34. You will drink the poison in that cup. You will drink it to the last drop. You will throw down the glass and break it to pieces. You will tear at your breasts from the pain. This will happen because I am the Lord GOD, and this is what I said.
35. “So this is what the Lord GOD said: ‘Jerusalem, you forgot me. You threw me away and left me behind. So now you must suffer for leaving me and living like a prostitute. You must suffer for your wicked dreams.’”
36. The Lord said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then tell them about the terrible things they have done.
37. They committed the sin of adultery. They are guilty of murder. They acted like prostitutes—they left me to be with their filthy idols. They had my children, but they forced them to pass through fire. They did this to give food to their filthy idols.
38. They also treated my special days of rest and my holy place as though they were not important.
39. They killed their children for their idols, and then they went into my holy place and made it filthy too! They did this inside my Temple!
40. “They have sent for men from faraway places. You sent a messenger to these men, and they came to see you. You bathed for them, painted your eyes, and put on your jewelry.
41. You sat on a fine bed with a table set before it. You put my incense and my oil on this table.
42. “The noise in Jerusalem sounded like a crowd of people having a party. Many people came to the party. People were already drinking as they came in from the desert. They gave bracelets and beautiful crowns to the women.
43. Then I spoke to one of the women who was worn out from her sexual sins. I asked her, ‘Will they continue to do sexual sins with her, and she with them?’
