New Living Translation

Ezekiel 23:25-36 New Living Translation (NLT)

25. I will turn my jealous anger against you, and they will deal harshly with you. They will cut off your nose and ears, and any survivors will then be slaughtered by the sword. Your children will be taken away as captives, and everything that is left will be burned.

26. They will strip you of your beautiful clothes and jewels.

27. In this way, I will put a stop to the lewdness and prostitution you brought from Egypt. You will never again cast longing eyes on those things or fondly remember your time in Egypt.

28. “For this is what the Sovereign lord says: I will surely hand you over to your enemies, to those you loathe, those you rejected.

29. They will treat you with hatred and rob you of all you own, leaving you stark naked. The shame of your prostitution will be exposed to all the world.

30. You brought all this on yourself by prostituting yourself to other nations, defiling yourself with all their idols.

31. Because you have followed in your sister’s footsteps, I will force you to drink the same cup of terror she drank.

32. “Yes, this is what the Sovereign lord says:“You will drink from your sister’s cup of terror,a cup that is large and deep.It is filled to the brimwith scorn and derision.

33. Drunkenness and anguish will fill you,for your cup is filled to the brim with distress and desolation,the same cup your sister Samaria drank.

34. You will drain that cup of terrorto the very bottom.Then you will smash it to piecesand beat your breast in anguish.I, the Sovereign lord, have spoken!

35. “And because you have forgotten me and turned your back on me, this is what the Sovereign lord says: You must bear the consequences of all your lewdness and prostitution.”

36. The lord said to me, “Son of man, you must accuse Oholah and Oholibah of all their detestable sins.
