Ezekiel 23

Oholah and Oholibah's Sin and Its Consequences

1

The wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to me again, sayingh559,

2

"Sonh1121 of manh120, there were  atwoh8147 womenh802, the daughtersh1323 of oneh259 motherh517;

3

and they playedh2181 the harloth2181 in Egypth4714. They  aplayedh2181 the harloth2181 in their youthh5271; thereh8033 their breastsh7699a were pressedh4600 and thereh8033 their virginh1331 bosomh1717 was handledh6213b.

4

"Their namesh8034 were Oholahh170 the elderh1419 and Oholibahh172 her sisterh269. And they becameh1961 Mine, and they boreh3205 sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323. And as for their namesh8034, Samariah8111 is Oholahh170 and Jerusalemh3389 is Oholibahh172.

5

"Oholahh170 playedh2181 the harloth2181  1whileh8478 she was Mineh8478; and she lustedh5689 afterh5921 her loversh157, afterh413 the  aAssyriansh804b, her neighborsh7138,

6

who were clothedh3847 in purpleh8504,  agovernorsh6346 and officialsh5461, allh3605 of them desirableh2531 youngh970 menh970, horsemenh6571b ridingh7392 on horsesh5483b.

7

"She bestowedh5414 her harlotriesh8457 on them, allh3605 of whom were the choicesth4005  1menh1121 of Assyriah804b; and with allh3605 whomh834 she lustedh5689 after, with allh3605 their idolsh1544 she  adefiledh2930 herself.

8

"She did not forsakeh5800a her harlotriesh8457  afrom the time in Egypth4714; for in her youthh5271  1men had lainh7901 with her, and they handledh6213b her virginh1331 bosomh1717 and pouredh8210 out their  2lusth8457 on her.

9

"Thereforeh3651, I gaveh5414 her into the handh3027 of her  aloversh157, into the handh3027 of the  1Assyriansh1121h804b, afterh5921 whomh834 she lustedh5689.

10

"They  auncoveredh1540 her nakednessh6172; they tookh3947 her sonsh1121 and her daughtersh1323, but they slewh2026 her with the swordh2719. Thus she becameh1961 a  1bywordh8034 among womenh802, and they executedh6213a judgmentsh8196 on her.

11

"Now her sisterh269 Oholibahh172 sawh7200 this, yet she was  amoreh4480 corrupth7843 in her lusth5691 thanh4480 she, and her harlotriesh8457 were moreh4480 thanh4480 the harlotriesh2183 of her sisterh269.

12

"She lustedh5689 afterh413 the  1 aAssyriansh1121h804b, governorsh6346 and officialsh5461, the onesh7138 nearh7138, magnificentlyh4358 dressedh3847, horsemenh6571b ridingh7392 on horsesh5483b, allh3605 of them desirableh2531 youngh970 menh970.

13

"I sawh7200 that she had defiledh2930 herself; they bothh8147 took  1the sameh259 wayh1870.

14

"So she increasedh3254 her harlotriesh8457. And she sawh7200 menh376  aportrayedh2707 on the wallh7023, imagesh6754 of the  bChaldeansh3778 portrayedh2710 with vermilionh8350,

15

girdedh2289 with beltsh232 on their loinsh4975, with flowingh5628 turbansh2871 on their headsh7218, allh3605 of them lookingh4758 like officersh7991c,  1likeh1823 the  2Babyloniansh1121h894 in Chaldeah3778, the landh776 of their birthh4138.

16

1When she sawh4758h5869 them she  alustedh5689 afterh5921 them and senth7971 messengersh4397 to them in Chaldeah3778.

17

"The  1 aBabyloniansh1121h894 cameh935 to her to the bedh4904 of loveh1730 and defiledh2930 her with their harlotryh8457. And when she had beenh2930 defiledh2930 by them,  2she becameh3363 disgustedh3363 with them.

18

"She  auncoveredh1540 her harlotriesh8457 and uncoveredh1540 her nakednessh6172; then  1I becameh3363  bdisgustedh3363 with her, as  1I had becomeh5361 disgustedh5361 with her  csisterh269.

19

"Yet she multipliedh7235a her harlotriesh8457, rememberingh2142 the daysh3117 of her youthh5271, whenh834 she playedh2181 the harloth2181 in the landh776 of Egypth4714.

20

"She  alustedh5689 afterh5921 their paramoursh6370, whoseh834 fleshh1320 is like the fleshh1320 of donkeysh2543 and whose issueh2231 is like the issueh2231 of horsesh5483b.

21

"Thus you longedh6485 for the  alewdnessh2154 of your youthh5271, when  1the Egyptiansh4714 handledh6213b your bosomh1717 becauseh4616 of the breastsh7699a of your youthh5271.

22

"Thereforeh3651, O Oholibahh172, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136  1GODh3068, `Beholdh2009 I will arouseh5782 your loversh157 againsth5921 you, from whomh834  2you were alienatedh5361, and I will bringh935 them againsth5921 you from everyh5439 sideh5439:

23

the  1 aBabyloniansh1121h894 and allh3605 the  bChaldeansh3778,  cPekodh6489 and Shoah7772 and Koah6970, and allh3605 the  2 dAssyriansh1121h804b with them; desirableh2531 youngh970 menh970, governorsh6346 and officialsh5461 allh3605 of them, officersh7991c and  3menh7121 of renownh7121, allh3605 of them ridingh7392 on horsesh5483b.

24

`They will comeh935 againsth5921 you with weaponsh2021,  achariotsh7393 and  1wagonsh1534, and with a companyh6951 of peoplesh5971a. They will seth7760 themselves againsth5921 you on everyh5439 sideh5439 with bucklerh6793c and shieldh4043 and helmeth6959; and I will commith5414 the  bjudgmenth4941 to them, and they will judgeh8199 you according to their customsh4941.

25

`I will seth5414 My  ajealousyh7068 against you, that they may dealh6213a with you in wrathh2534. They will removeh5493 your noseh639 and your earsh241; and your  1survivorsh319 will fallh5307 by the swordh2719. They will takeh3947 your  bsonsh1121 and your daughtersh1323; and your  1survivorsh319 will be consumedh398 by the fireh784.

26

`They will also  astriph6584 you of your clothesh899b and takeh3947 away your  bbeautifulh8597 jewelsh3627.

27

`Thus  aI will make your lewdnessh2154 and your harlotryh2184 brought from the landh776 of Egypth4714 to ceaseh7673a from you, so that you will not lifth5375 up your eyesh5869 to them or rememberh2142 Egypth4714 anymoreh5750.'

28

"For thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Beholdh2009, I will giveh5414 you into the handh3027 of those whomh834 you  ahateh8130, into the handh3027 of those from whomh834  1you were alienatedh5361.

29

`They will  adealh6213a with you in hatredh8135, takeh3947 allh3605 your propertyh3018, and leaveh5800a you nakedh5903 and bareh6181. And the nakednessh6172 of your harlotriesh2183 will be uncoveredh1540, both your lewdnessh2154 and your harlotriesh8457.

30

`Theseh428 thingsh428 will be doneh6213a to you because you have  aplayedh2181 the harloth2181 with the nationsh1471, becauseh5921h834 you have defiledh2930 yourself with their idolsh1544.

31

`You have walkedh1980 in the wayh1870 of your sisterh269; therefore I will giveh5414  aher cuph3563a into your handh3027.'

32

"Thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `You will  adrinkh8354 your sister'sh269 cuph3563a, Which is deeph6013 and wideh7342.  1You will be  blaughedh6712 at and held in derisionh3933; It containsh3557 muchh4767.

33

`You will be filledh4390 with  adrunkennessh7943 and sorrowh3015, The cuph3563a of horrorh8047 and desolationh8077, The cuph3563a of your sisterh269 Samariah8111.

34

`You will  adrinkh8354 it and drainh4680 it. Then you will gnawh1633b its fragmentsh2789 And tearh5423 your breastsh7699a; for I have spokenh1696,' declaresh5002 the Lordh136 GODh3068.

35

"Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Becauseh3282 you have  aforgottenh7911 Me and  bcasth7993 Me behindh310 your backh1458, bearh5375 nowh1571 the punishment of your lewdnessh2154 and your harlotriesh8457.' "

36

Moreover, the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Sonh1121 of manh120, will you  ajudgeh8199 Oholahh170 and Oholibahh172? Then  bdeclareh5046 to them their abominationsh8441.

37

"For they have committedh5003 adulteryh5003, and bloodh1818 is on their handsh3027. Thus they have committedh5003 adulteryh5003 with their idolsh1544 and evenh1571 caused their sonsh1121,  awhomh834 they boreh3205 to Me, to passh5674a throughh5674a the fire to  1them as foodh402.

38

"Againh5750, they have doneh6213a thish2088 to Me: they have  adefiledh2930 My sanctuaryh4720 on the sameh1931 dayh3117 and have  bprofanedh2490c My sabbathsh7676.

39

"For when they had slaughteredh7819 their childrenh1121 for their idolsh1544, they enteredh935 My  asanctuaryh4720 on the sameh1931 dayh3117 to profaneh2490c it; and loh2009, thush3541 they didh6213a withinh8432 My househ1004.

40

"Furthermoreh637,  1they have evenh3588 senth7971 for menh376 who comeh935 from afarh4801, to whomh834 a messengerh4397 was senth7971; and loh2009, they cameh935--for whomh834 you bathedh7364,  apaintedh3583 your eyesh5869 and  bdecoratedh5710b yourselvesh5710b with ornamentsh5716;

41

and you sath3427 on a splendidh3519a  acouchh4296 with a  btableh7979 arrangedh6186a beforeh6440 it on which you had seth7760 My  cincenseh7004 and My  coilh8081.

42

"The soundh6963 of a  1 acarefreeh7961 multitudeh1995 was with her; and  bdrunkardsh5433b were broughth935 from the wildernessh4057b with menh376 of the  2commonh7230h120 sorth7230h120. And they puth5414  cbraceletsh6781a on  3the handsh3027 of the women and beautifulh8597 crownsh5850 on their headsh7218.

43

"Then I saidh559 concerning her who was  awornh1087 out by adulteriesh5004, ` 1Will they nowh6258 commith2181 adulteryh2181 with her when she is thus?'

44

1But they wenth935 in to her as they would goh935 in to a harloth2181. Thush3651 they wenth935 in to Oholahh170 and to Oholibahh172, the lewdh2154 womenh802.

45

"But they, righteoush6662 menh376, will  ajudgeh8199 them with the judgmenth4941 of adulteressesh5003 and with the judgmenth4941 of women who shedh8210 bloodh1818, becauseh3588 they are adulteressesh5003 and bloodh1818 is on their handsh3027.

46

"For thush3541 saysh559 the Lordh136 GODh3068, `Bringh5927 up a companyh6951 againsth5921 them and giveh5414 them over to  aterrorh2113 and plunderh957.

47

`The companyh6951 will  astoneh7275 them with stonesh68 and cuth1254a them downh1254a with their swordsh2719; they will slayh2026 their sonsh1121 and their daughtersh1323 and  bburnh8313 their housesh1004 with fireh784.

48

`Thus I will make lewdnessh2154 ceaseh7673a from the landh776, that allh3605 womenh802 may be admonishedh3256 and not commith6213a  1lewdnessh2154 as you have done.

49

`Your lewdnessh2154  1will be  arequitedh5414 upon you, and you will bearh5375 the penaltyh2399 of worshiping your idolsh1544; thus you will knowh3045 that I am the Lordh136 GODh3068.' "
