Ezekiel 23:26-39 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

26. ‘And they shall strip you of your garments and shall take your pretty jewels.

27. ‘And I shall put an end to your wickedness and to your whorings from the land of Mitsrayim, so that you do not lift your eyes to them neither remember Mitsrayim any more.’

28. “For thus said the Master יהוה, ‘See, I am giving you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom your being turned in disgust.

29. ‘And they shall deal with you in hatred, and they shall take away all you have worked for, and they shall leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your whorings shall be uncovered, and the wickedness of your whorings.

30. ‘I do this to you because of your whoring after the gentiles, because you have been defiled by their idols.

31. ‘You have walked in the way of your sister, and I shall give her cup into your hand.’

32. “Thus said the Master יהוה, ‘Drink of your sister’s cup, the deep and wide one – you being laughed at and mocked at – for it holds much.

33. ‘Be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of astonishment and ruin, the cup of your sister Shomeron.

34. ‘And you shall drink it and shall drain it, and gnaw its shards, and tear at your own breasts. For I have spoken,’ declares the Master יהוה.

35. “Therefore thus said the Master יהוה, ‘Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, therefore you shall bear your wickedness and your whorings.’ ”

36. And יהוה said to me, “Son of man, judge Oholah and Oholiḇah! And declare to them their abominations.

37. “For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols, and even offered their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour.

38. “They also did this to Me: They have defiled My set-apart place on the same day, and they have profaned My Sabbaths.

39. “For when they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day they came into My set-apart place to profane it. And see, that is what they did in the midst of My House.
