Ezekiel 23
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 O son of humankind two women daughters of a mother one they were.
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3 And they acted as prostitutes in Egypt in youth their they acted as prostitutes there they were handled breasts their and there they squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti their.
And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
4 And names their [was] Oholah the old [one] and [was] Oholibah sister her and they belonged to me and they bore sons and daughters and names their [was] Samaria Oholah and [was] Jerusalem Oholibah.
And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
5 And she acted as a prostitute Oholah under me and she lusted on lovers her to Assyria [were] warriors.
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
6 Clothed of blue governors and officials young men of desire all of them horsemen riders of horses.
Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 And she gave prostitution her to them [were] [the] choicest of [the] sons of Assyria all of them and by all [those] whom she lusted after by all idols their she made herself unclean.
Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 And prostitution her since Egypt not she forsook if her they had lain with in youth her and they they had squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti her and they had poured out prostitution their on her.
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
9 Therefore I gave her in [the] hand of lovers her in [the] hand of [the] people of Assyria whom she had lusted on them.
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10 They they uncovered nakedness her sons her and daughters her they took and her with the sword they killed and she became a name to women and judgments they brought about on her.
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
11 And she saw sister her Oholibah and she acted corruptly lust her more than her and prostitution her more than [the] prostitutions of sister her.
And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
12 To [the] sons of Assyria she lusted governors and officials warriors clothed of perfection horsemen riders of horses [were] young men of desire all of them.
She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 And I saw that she had made herself unclean way one [belonged] to both of them.
Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
14 And she added to prostitution her and she saw men of a carved [thing] on the wall [the] images of ([the] Chaldeans *Qk) inscribed with vermilion.
And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 Girded of a waistband on hips their overhung of turbans on heads their [the] appearance of of icers all of them [the] likeness of [the] sons of Babylon Chaldea [was] [the] land of kindred their.
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
16 (And she lusted! *QK) on them to [the] sight of eyes her and she sent messengers to them Chaldea towards.
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17 And they came to her [the] sons of Babylon to a bed of love and they defiled her by prostitution their and she became unclean by them and it was alienated self her from them.
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
18 And she uncovered prostitution her and she uncovered nakedness her and it was alienated self my from with her just as it had been alienated self my from with sister her.
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like my mind was alienated from her sister.
19 And she increased prostitution her to remember [the] days of youth her when she acted as a prostitute in [the] land of Egypt.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 And she lusted! on paramours their whom [was the] flesh of donkeys flesh their and [was the] ejaculation of horses ejaculation their.
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 And you sought [the] licentiousness of youth your when squeezed since Egypt nipples your on account of [the] breasts of youth your.
Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, in bruising your teats by the Egyptians for the breast of your youth.
22 Therefore O Oholibah thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse lovers your on you [those] whom it was alienated self your from them and I will bring them on you from round about.
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your mind is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side;
23 [the] people of Babylon and all [the] Chaldeans Pekod and Shoa and Koa all [the] people of Assyria with them young men of desire governors and officials all of of them icers and called [ones] riders of horses all of them.
The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
24 And they will come on you weapon[s] chariot[s] and wheel[s] and with a company of peoples body shield and shield and helmet they will set up on you all around and I will set before them judgment and they will judge you by judgments their.
And they shall come against you with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against you buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge you according to their judgments.
25 And I will set jealousy my on you and they will deal with with you in rage nose your and ears your they will remove and remainder your by the sword it will fall they sons your and daughters your they will take and remainder your it will be consumed by fire.
And I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal furiously with you: they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 And they will strip off you clothes your and they will take away [the] articles of beauty your.
They shall also strip you out of your clothes, and take away your fair jewels.
27 And I will cause to cease licentiousness your from you and prostitution your from [the] land of Egypt and not you will lift up eyes your to them and Egypt not you will remember again.
Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that you shall not lift up your eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give you in [the] hand of [those] whom you hate in [the] hand of [those] whom it has been alienated self your from them.
For thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your mind is alienated:
29 And they will deal with with you in hatred and they will take all property your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness and it will be uncovered [the] nakedness of prostitutions your and licentiousness your and prostitution your.
And they shall deal with you hatefully, and shall take away all your labour, and shall leave you naked and bare: and the nakedness of your whoredoms shall be discovered, both your lewdness and your whoredoms.
30 They have done these [things] to you because acted as a prostitute you after nations on that you made yourself unclean by idols their.
I will do these things unto you, because you have gone a whoring after the heathen, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 In [the] way of sister your you have walked and I will put cup her in hand your.
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I give her cup into your hand.
32 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] cup of sister your you will drink deep and wide it will become laughter and mockery much to contain.
Thus says the Lord GOD; You shall drink of your sister's cup deep and large: you shall be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it contains much.
33 Drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled [is] a cup of horror and desolation [the] cup of sister your Samaria.
You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 And you will drink it and you will drain [it] and fragments its you will break and breasts your you will tear out for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
You shall even drink it and suck it out, and you shall break the earthen ware thereof, and pluck off your own breasts: for I have spoken it, says the Lord GOD.
35 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because you have forgotten me and you have thrown me behind back your and also you bear licentiousness your and prostitution your.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore bear you also your lewdness and your whoredoms.
36 And he said Yahweh to me O son of humankind ¿ will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare to them abominations their.
The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, will you judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
37 For they have committed adultery and blood [is] on hands their and with idols their they have committed adultery and also children their whom they bore to me they made pass through to them to food.
That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
38 Again this they have done to me they have made unclean sanctuary my on the day that and sabbaths my they have profaned.
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
39 And when had slaughtered they children their to idols their and they went into sanctuary my on the day that to profane it and there! thus they did in [the] midst of house my.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
40 And also for they sent for men [who] come from a distance whom a messenger [was] sent to them and there! they came for whom you bathed you painted eyes your and you put on ornament[s].
And furthermore, that all of you have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom you did wash yourself, painted your eyes, and decked yourself with ornaments,
41 And you sat on a couch glorious and a table [was] arranged before it and incense my and oil my you put on it.
And sat upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon you have set mine incense and mine oil.
42 And [the] sound of a multitude at ease [was] in her and to men from [the] multitude of humankind [were] brought (Sabeans *QK) from [the] wilderness and they put bracelets to hands their and a crown of beauty on heads their.
And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
43 And I said of the [woman] worn out adulteries (now they will act as a prostitutes *QK) prostitution her and she.
Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
44 And he went into her as goes into a woman a prostitute so they went into Oholah and into Oholibah [the] women of licentiousness.
Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that plays the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
45 And people righteous they they will judge them judgment of adulteresses and judgment of [women who] shed blood for [are] adulteresses they and blood [is] on hands their.
And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh bring up on them a company and give over them to terror and to spoil.
For thus says the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
47 And they will stone on them stone[s] [the] company and they will cut down them with swords their sons their and daughters their they will kill and houses their with fire they will burn.
And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 And I will cause to cease licentiousness from the land and they will be warned all the women and not they will do like licentiousness your.
Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 And people will requite licentiousness your to you and [the] sins of idols your you will bear and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and all of you shall bear the sins of your idols: and all of you shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
