22. Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: I will now stir up your lovers against you, those from whom you recoiled, and I will bring them against you from every side:
23. the men of Babylon and all of Chaldea, Pekod, Shoa and Koa, along with all the Assyrians, handsome young soldiers, all of them governors and officers, charioteers and warriors, all of them horsemen.
24. They shall invade you with armor, chariots and wagons, a horde of peoples; they will array against you on every side bucklers and shields and helmets. I will give them the right of judgment, and they will judge you according to their standards.
25. I will direct my jealousy against you, so that they deal with you in fury, cutting off your nose and ears; what is left of you shall fall by the sword. They shall take away your sons and daughters, and what is left of you shall be devoured by fire.
26. They shall strip off your clothes and seize your splendid jewelry.
27. I will put an end to your depravity and to your prostitution from the land of Egypt; you shall no longer look to them, nor even remember Egypt again.
28. For thus says the Lord God: I am now handing you over to those whom you hate, to those from whom you recoil.
29. They shall treat you with hatred, seizing all that you worked for and leaving you stark naked, so that your indecent nakedness is exposed. Your depravity and prostitution
30. brought these things upon you because you served as a prostitute for the nations, defiling yourself with their idols.
31. Because you followed your sister’s path, I will put her cup into your hand.
32. Thus says the Lord God:The cup of your sister you shall drink,deep and wide;It brings ridicule and mockery,it holds so much;
33. You will be filled with drunkenness and grief—A cup of horror and devastation,the cup of your sister Samaria;
34. You shall drink it dry,its very sherds you will gnaw;And you shall tear out your breasts;for I have spoken—oracle of the Lord God.
35. Therefore thus says the Lord God: You have forgotten me and cast me behind your back; now suffer for your depravity and prostitution.
36. Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, would you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then make known to them their abominations.
37. For they committed adultery, and blood covers their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; even the children they bore for me they burnt as food for them.
38. And they also did this to me: on that day, they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my sabbaths.
39. On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered my sanctuary to desecrate it. Thus they acted within my house!
40. Moreover, they sent for men who had to come from afar; when a messenger was sent to them, they came. On their account you bathed, painted your eyes, and put on jewelry.
