23:1 The
word
of
the
LORD
came
to
me:
23:2 "Son
of
man,
there
were
two
women,
the
daughters
of
one
mother.
23:3 They
played
the
whore
in
Egypt;
they
played
the
whore
in
their
youth;
there
their
breasts
were
pressed
and
their
virgin
bosoms
handled.
23:4 Oholah
was
the
name
of
the
elder
and
Oholibah
the
name
of
her
sister.
They
became
mine,
and
they
bore
sons
and
daughters.
As
for
their
names,
Oholah
is
Samaria,
and
Oholibah
is
Jerusalem.
23:5 "Oholah
played
the
whore
while
she
was
mine,
and
she
lusted
after
her
lovers
the
Assyrians,
warriors
23:6 clothed
in
purple,
governors
and
commanders,
all
of
them
desirable
young
men,
horsemen
riding
on
horses.
23:7 She
bestowed
her
whoring
upon
them,
the
choicest
men
of
Assyria
all
of
them,
and
she
defiled
herself
with
all
the
idols
of
everyone
after
whom
she
lusted.
23:8 She
did
not
give
up
her
whoring
that
she
had
begun
in
Egypt;
for
in
her
youth
men
had
lain
with
her
and
handled
her
virgin
bosom
and
poured
out
their
whoring
lust
upon
her.
23:9 Therefore
I
delivered
her
into
the
hands
of
her
lovers,
into
the
hands
of
the
Assyrians,
after
whom
she
lusted.
23:10 These
uncovered
her
nakedness;
they
seized
her
sons
and
her
daughters;
and
as
for
her,
they
killed
her
with
the
sword;
and
she
became
a
byword
among
women,
when
judgment
had
been
executed
on
her.
23:11 "Her
sister
Oholibah
saw
this,
and
she
became
more
corrupt
than
her
sister
in
her
lust
and
in
her
whoring,
which
was
worse
than
that
of
her
sister.
23:12 She
lusted
after
the
Assyrians,
governors
and
commanders,
warriors
clothed
in
full
armor,
horsemen
riding
on
horses,
all
of
them
desirable
young
men.
23:13 And
I
saw
that
she
was
defiled;
they
both
took
the
same
way.
23:14 But
she
carried
her
whoring
further.
She
saw
men
portrayed
on
the
wall,
the
images
of
the
Chaldeans
portrayed
in
vermilion,
23:15 wearing
belts
on
their
waists,
with
flowing
turbans
on
their
heads,
all
of
them
having
the
appearance
of
officers,
a
likeness
of
Babylonians
whose
native
land
was
Chaldea.
23:16 When
she
saw
them,
she
lusted
after
them
and
sent
messengers
to
them
in
Chaldea.
23:17 And
the
Babylonians
came
to
her
into
the
bed
of
love,
and
they
defiled
her
with
their
whoring
lust.
And
after
she
was
defiled
by
them,
she
turned
from
them
in
disgust.
23:18 When
she
carried
on
her
whoring
so
openly
and
flaunted
her
nakedness,
I
turned
in
disgust
from
her,
as
I
had
turned
in
disgust
from
her
sister.
23:19 Yet
she
increased
her
whoring,
remembering
the
days
of
her
youth,
when
she
played
the
whore
in
the
land
of
Egypt
23:20 and
lusted
after
her
paramours
there,
whose
members
were
like
those
of
donkeys,
and
whose
issue
was
like
that
of
horses.
23:21 Thus
you
longed
for
the
lewdness
of
your
youth,
when
the
Egyptians
handled
your
bosom
and
pressed
your
young
breasts."
23:22 Therefore,
O
Oholibah,
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
"Behold,
I
will
stir
up
against
you
your
lovers
from
whom
you
turned
in
disgust,
and
I
will
bring
them
against
you
from
every
side:
23:23 the
Babylonians
and
all
the
Chaldeans,
Pekod
and
Shoa
and
Koa,
and
all
the
Assyrians
with
them,
desirable
young
men,
governors
and
commanders
all
of
them,
officers
and
men
of
renown,
all
of
them
riding
on
horses.
23:24 And
they
shall
come
against
you
from
the
north
with
chariots
and
wagons
and
a
host
of
peoples.
They
shall
set
themselves
against
you
on
every
side
with
buckler,
shield,
and
helmet;
and
I
will
commit
the
judgment
to
them,
and
they
shall
judge
you
according
to
their
judgments.
23:25 And
I
will
direct
my
jealousy
against
you,
that
they
may
deal
with
you
in
fury.
They
shall
cut
off
your
nose
and
your
ears,
and
your
survivors
shall
fall
by
the
sword.
They
shall
seize
your
sons
and
your
daughters,
and
your
survivors
shall
be
devoured
by
fire.
23:26 They
shall
also
strip
you
of
your
clothes
and
take
away
your
beautiful
jewels.
23:27 Thus
I
will
put
an
end
to
your
lewdness
and
your
whoring
begun
in
the
land
of
Egypt,
so
that
you
shall
not
lift
up
your
eyes
to
them
or
remember
Egypt
anymore.
23:28 "For
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Behold,
I
will
deliver
you
into
the
hands
of
those
whom
you
hate,
into
the
hands
of
those
from
whom
you
turned
in
disgust,
23:29 and
they
shall
deal
with
you
in
hatred
and
take
away
all
the
fruit
of
your
labor
and
leave
you
naked
and
bare,
and
the
nakedness
of
your
whoring
shall
be
uncovered.
Your
lewdness
and
your
whoring
23:30 have
brought
this
upon
you,
because
you
played
the
whore
with
the
nations
and
defiled
yourself
with
their
idols.
23:31 You
have
gone
the
way
of
your
sister;
therefore
I
will
give
her
cup
into
your
hand.
23:32 Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
"You
shall
drink
your
sister's
cup
that
is
deep
and
large;
you
shall
be
laughed
at
and
held
in
derision,
for
it
contains
much;
23:33 you
will
be
filled
with
drunkenness
and
sorrow.
A
cup
of
horror
and
desolation,
the
cup
of
your
sister
Samaria;
23:34 you
shall
drink
it
and
drain
it
out,
and
gnaw
its
shards,
and
tear
your
breasts;
for
I
have
spoken,
declares
the
Lord
GOD.
23:35 Therefore
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
Because
you
have
forgotten
me
and
cast
me
behind
your
back,
you
yourself
must
bear
the
consequences
of
your
lewdness
and
whoring."
23:36 The
LORD
said
to
me:
"Son
of
man,
will
you
judge
Oholah
and
Oholibah
Declare
to
them
their
abominations.
23:37 For
they
have
committed
adultery,
and
blood
is
on
their
hands.
With
their
idols
they
have
committed
adultery,
and
they
have
even
offered
up
to
them
for
food
the
children
whom
they
had
borne
to
me.
23:38 Moreover,
this
they
have
done
to
me:
they
have
defiled
my
sanctuary
on
the
same
day
and
profaned
my
Sabbaths.
23:39 For
when
they
had
slaughtered
their
children
in
sacrifice
to
their
idols,
on
the
same
day
they
came
into
my
sanctuary
to
profane
it.
And
behold,
this
is
what
they
did
in
my
house.
23:40 They
even
sent
for
men
to
come
from
afar,
to
whom
a
messenger
was
sent;
and
behold,
they
came.
For
them
you
bathed
yourself,
painted
your
eyes,
and
adorned
yourself
with
ornaments.
23:41 You
sat
on
a
stately
couch,
with
a
table
spread
before
it
on
which
you
had
placed
my
incense
and
my
oil.
23:42 The
sound
of
a
carefree
multitude
was
with
her;
and
with
men
of
the
common
sort,
drunkards
were
brought
from
the
wilderness;
and
they
put
bracelets
on
the
hands
of
the
women,
and
beautiful
crowns
on
their
heads.
23:43 "Then
I
said
of
her
who
was
worn
out
by
adultery,
Now
they
will
continue
to
use
her
for
a
whore,
even
her!
23:44 For
they
have
gone
in
to
her,
as
men
go
in
to
a
prostitute.
Thus
they
went
in
to
Oholah
and
to
Oholibah,
lewd
women!
23:45 But
righteous
men
shall
pass
judgment
on
them
with
the
sentence
of
adulteresses,
and
with
the
sentence
of
women
who
shed
blood,
because
they
are
adulteresses,
and
blood
is
on
their
hands."
23:46 For
thus
says
the
Lord
GOD:
"Bring
up
a
vast
host
against
them,
and
make
them
an
object
of
terror
and
a
plunder.
23:47 And
the
host
shall
stone
them
and
cut
them
down
with
their
swords.
They
shall
kill
their
sons
and
their
daughters,
and
burn
up
their
houses.
23:48 Thus
will
I
put
an
end
to
lewdness
in
the
land,
that
all
women
may
take
warning
and
not
commit
lewdness
as
you
have
done.
23:49 And
they
shall
return
your
lewdness
upon
you,
and
you
shall
bear
the
penalty
for
your
sinful
idolatry,
and
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
GOD."
