Ezekiel 23:28-41 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

28. For thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I will give you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom you were alienated.

29. They will deal with you in hatred, take all your property, and leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your harlotries will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotries.

30. These things will be done to you because you have played the harlot with the nations, because you have defiled yourself with their idols.

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 your sister's cup, Which is deep and wide. You will be laughed at and held in derision; It contains much.

33. 'You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, The cup of horror and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.

34. 'You will drink it and drain it. Then you will gnaw its fragments 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, bear now the punishment of your lewdness and your harlotries.'"

36. Moreover, the Lord said 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 on their hands. Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to them as food.

38. Again, they have done this to Me: they have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have profaned My sabbaths.

39. For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and lo, thus they did within My house.

40. "Furthermore, they have even sent for men who come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and lo, they came-for whom you bathed, painted your eyes and decorated yourselves with ornaments;

41. and you sat on a splendid couch with a table arranged before it on which you had set My incense and My oil.
