New King James Version

Ezekiel 23:24-35 New King James Version (NKJV)

24. And they shall come against youWith chariots, wagons, and war-horses,With a horde of people.They shall array against youBuckler, shield, and helmet all around.‘I will delegate judgment to them,And they shall judge you according to their judgments.

25. I will set My jealousy against you,And they shall deal furiously with you;They shall remove your nose and your ears,And your remnant shall fall by the sword;They shall take your sons and your daughters,And your remnant shall be devoured by fire.

26. They shall also strip you of your clothesAnd take away your beautiful jewelry.

27. ‘Thus I will make you cease your lewdness and your harlotryBrought from the land of Egypt,So that you will not lift your eyes to them,Nor remember Egypt anymore.’

28. “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hand of those you hate, into the hand of those from whom you alienated yourself.

29. They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry.

30. I will do these things to you because you have gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.

31. You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will put her cup in your hand.’

32. “Thus says the Lord God:‘You shall drink of your sister’s cup,The deep and wide one;You shall be laughed to scornAnd 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 shall drink and drain it,You shall break its shards,And tear at your own breasts;For I have spoken,’Says the Lord God.

35. “Therefore thus says the Lord God:‘Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back,Therefore you shall bear the penaltyOf your lewdness and your harlotry.’ ”
