Ezekiel 23 (kjv)

The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 came again unto me, saying^H559,²Son^H1121 of man^H120, there were two^H8147 women^H802, the daughters^H1323 of one^H259 mother^H517:³And they committed whoredoms^H2181 in Egypt^H4714; they committed whoredoms^H2181 in their youth^H5271: there were their breasts^H7699 pressed^H4600, and there they bruised^H6213 the teats^H1717 of their virginity^H1331.⁴And the names^H8034 of them were Aholah^H170 the elder^H1419, and Aholibah^H172 her sister^H269: and they were mine, and they bare^H3205 sons^H1121 and daughters^H1323. Thus were their names^H8034; Samaria^H8111 is Aholah^H170, and Jerusalem^H3389 Aholibah^H172.⁵And Aholah^H170 played the harlot^H2181 when she was mine^H8478; and she doted^H5689 on her lovers^H157, on the Assyrians^H804 her neighbours^H7138,⁶Which were clothed^H3847 with blue^H8504, captains^H6346 and rulers^H5461, all of them desirable^H2531 young men^H970, horsemen^H6571 riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483.⁷Thus she committed^H5414 her whoredoms^H8457 with them, with all them that were the chosen^H4005 men^H1121 of Assyria^H804, and with all on whom she doted^H5689: with all their idols^H1544 she defiled^H2930 herself.⁸Neither left^H5800 she her whoredoms^H8457 brought from Egypt^H4714: for in her youth^H5271 they lay^H7901 with her, and they bruised^H6213 the breasts^H1717 of her virginity^H1331, and poured^H8210 their whoredom^H8457 upon her.⁹Wherefore I have delivered^H5414 her into the hand^H3027 of her lovers^H157, into the hand^H3027 of the Assyrians^{H1121 H804}, upon whom she doted^H5689.¹⁰These discovered^H1540 her nakedness^H6172: they took^H3947 her sons^H1121 and her daughters^H1323, and slew^H2026 her with the sword^H2719: and she became famous^H8034 among women^H802; for they had executed^H6213 judgment^H8196 upon her.¹¹And when her sister^H269 Aholibah^H172 saw^H7200 this, she was more corrupt^H7843 in her inordinate love^H5691 than she, and in her whoredoms^H8457 more than her sister^H269 in her whoredoms^H2183.¹²She doted^H5689 upon the Assyrians^{H1121 H804} her neighbours^H7138, captains^H6346 and rulers^H5461 clothed^H3847 most gorgeously^H4358, horsemen^H6571 riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483, all of them desirable^H2531 young men^H970.¹³Then I saw^H7200 that she was defiled^H2930, that they took both^H8147 one^H259 way^H1870,¹⁴And that she increased^H3254 her whoredoms^H8457: for when she saw^H7200 men^H582 pourtrayed^H2707 upon the wall^H7023, the images^H6754 of the Chaldeans^H3778 pourtrayed^H2710 with vermilion^H8350,¹⁵Girded^H2289 with girdles^H232 upon their loins^H4975, exceeding^H5628 in dyed attire^H2871 upon their heads^H7218, all of them princes^H7991 to look to^H4758, after the manner^H1823 of the Babylonians^{H1121 H894} of Chaldea^H3778, the land^H776 of their nativity^H4138:¹⁶And as soon as she saw^H4758 them with her eyes^H5869, she doted^H5689 upon them, and sent^H7971 messengers^H4397 unto them into Chaldea^H3778.¹⁷And the Babylonians^{H1121 H894} came^H935 to her into the bed^H4904 of love^H1730, and they defiled^H2930 her with their whoredom^H8457, and she was polluted^H2930 with them, and her mind^H5315 was alienated^H3363 from them.¹⁸So she discovered^H1540 her whoredoms^H8457, and discovered^H1540 her nakedness^H6172: then my mind^H5315 was alienated^H3363 from her, like as my mind^H5315 was alienated^H5361 from her sister^H269.¹⁹Yet she multiplied^H7235 her whoredoms^H8457, in calling to remembrance^H2142 the days^H3117 of her youth^H5271, wherein she had played the harlot^H2181 in the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714.²⁰For she doted^H5689 upon their paramours^H6370, whose flesh^H1320 is as the flesh^H1320 of asses^H2543, and whose issue^H2231 is like the issue^H2231 of horses^H5483.²¹Thus thou calledst to remembrance^H6485 the lewdness^H2154 of thy youth^H5271, in bruising^H6213 thy teats^H1717 by the Egyptians^H4714 for the paps^H7699 of thy youth^H5271.²²Therefore, O Aholibah^H172, thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I will raise up^H5782 thy lovers^H157 against thee, from whom thy mind^H5315 is alienated^H5361, and I will bring^H935 them against thee on every side^H5439;

²³The Babylonians^{H1121 H894}, and all the Chaldeans^H3778, Pekod^H6489, and Shoa^H7772, and Koa^H6970, and all the Assyrians^{H1121 H804} with them: all of them desirable^H2531 young men^H970, captains^H6346 and rulers^H5461, great lords^H7991 and renowned^H7121, all of them riding^H7392 upon horses^H5483.²⁴And they shall come^H935 against thee with chariots^H2021, wagons^H7393, and wheels^H1534, and with an assembly^H6951 of people^H5971, which shall set^H7760 against thee buckler^H6793 and shield^H4043 and helmet^H6959 round about^H5439: and I will set^H5414 judgment^H4941 before^H6440 them, and they shall judge^H8199 thee according to their judgments^H4941.²⁵And I will set^H5414 my jealousy^H7068 against thee, and they shall deal^H6213 furiously^H2534 with thee: they shall take away^H5493 thy nose^H639 and thine ears^H241; and thy remnant^H319 shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719: they shall take^H3947 thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323; and thy residue^H319 shall be devoured^H398 by the fire^H784.²⁶They shall also strip^H6584 thee out of thy clothes^H899, and take away^H3947 thy fair^H8597 jewels^H3627.²⁷Thus will I make thy lewdness^H2154 to cease^H7673 from thee, and thy whoredom^H2184 brought from the land^H776 of Egypt^H4714: so that thou shalt not lift up^H5375 thine eyes^H5869 unto them, nor remember^H2142 Egypt^H4714 any more.²⁸For thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Behold, I will deliver^H5414 thee into the hand^H3027 of them whom thou hatest^H8130, into the hand^H3027 of them from whom thy mind^H5315 is alienated^H5361:²⁹And they shall deal^H6213 with thee hatefully^H8135, and shall take away^H3947 all thy labour^H3018, and shall leave^H5800 thee naked^H5903 and bare^H6181: and the nakedness^H6172 of thy whoredoms^H2183 shall be discovered^H1540, both thy lewdness^H2154 and thy whoredoms^H8457.³⁰I will do^H6213 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring^H2181 after^H310 the heathen^H1471, and because thou art polluted^H2930 with their idols^H1544.³¹Thou hast walked^H1980 in the way^H1870 of thy sister^H269; therefore will I give^H5414 her cup^H3563 into thine hand^H3027.³²Thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Thou shalt drink^H8354 of thy sister's^H269 cup^H3563 deep^H6013 and large^H7342: thou shalt be laughed to scorn^H6712 and had in derision^H3933; it containeth^H3557 much^H4767.³³Thou shalt be filled^H4390 with drunkenness^H7943 and sorrow^H3015, with the cup^H3563 of astonishment^H8047 and desolation^H8077, with the cup^H3563 of thy sister^H269 Samaria^H8111.³⁴Thou shalt even drink^H8354 it and suck it out^H4680, and thou shalt break^H1633 the sherds^H2789 thereof, and pluck off^H5423 thine own breasts^H7699: for I have spoken^H1696 it, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.³⁵Therefore thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; Because thou hast forgotten^H7911 me, and cast^H7993 me behind^H310 thy back^H1458, therefore bear^H5375 thou also thy lewdness^H2154 and thy whoredoms^H8457.

³⁶The LORD^H3068 said^H559 moreover unto me; Son^H1121 of man^H120, wilt thou judge^H8199 Aholah^H170 and Aholibah^H172? yea, declare^H5046 unto them their abominations^H8441;³⁷That they have committed adultery^H5003, and blood^H1818 is in their hands^H3027, and with their idols^H1544 have they committed adultery^H5003, and have also caused their sons^H1121, whom they bare^H3205 unto me, to pass for them through^H5674 the fire, to devour^H402 them.³⁸Moreover this they have done^H6213 unto me: they have defiled^H2930 my sanctuary^H4720 in the same day^H3117, and have profaned^H2490 my sabbaths^H7676.³⁹For when they had slain^H7819 their children^H1121 to their idols^H1544, then they came^H935 the same day^H3117 into my sanctuary^H4720 to profane^H2490 it; and, lo, thus have they done^H6213 in the midst^H8432 of mine house^H1004.⁴⁰And furthermore^H637, that ye have sent^H7971 for men^H582 to come^H935 from far^H4801, unto whom a messenger^H4397 was sent^H7971; and, lo, they came^H935: for whom thou didst wash^H7364 thyself, paintedst^H3583 thy eyes^H5869, and deckedst^H5710 thyself with ornaments^H5716,⁴¹And satest^H3427 upon a stately^H3520 bed^H4296, and a table^H7979 prepared^H6186 before^H6440 it, whereupon thou hast set^H7760 mine incense^H7004 and mine oil^H8081.⁴²And a voice^H6963 of a multitude^H1995 being at ease^H7961 was with her: and with the men^H582 of the common sort^{H7230 H120} were brought^H935 Sabeans^{H5436 H5433} from the wilderness^H4057, which put^H5414 bracelets^H6781 upon their hands^H3027, and beautiful^H8597 crowns^H5850 upon their heads^H7218.⁴³Then said^H559 I unto her that was old^H1087 in adulteries^H5004, Will they now commit^H2181 whoredoms^H8457 with her, and she with them?⁴⁴Yet they went in^H935 unto her, as they go in^H935 unto a woman^H802 that playeth the harlot^H2181: so went they in^H935 unto Aholah^H170 and unto Aholibah^H172, the lewd^H2154 women^H802.

⁴⁵And the righteous^H6662 men^H582, they shall judge^H8199 them after the manner^H4941 of adulteresses^H5003, and after the manner^H4941 of women that shed^H8210 blood^H1818; because they are adulteresses^H5003, and blood^H1818 is in their hands^H3027.⁴⁶For thus saith^H559 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069; I will bring up^H5927 a company^H6951 upon them, and will give^H5414 them to be removed^H2189 and spoiled^H957.⁴⁷And the company^H6951 shall stone^H7275 them with stones^H68, and dispatch^H1254 them with their swords^H2719; they shall slay^H2026 their sons^H1121 and their daughters^H1323, and burn up^H8313 their houses^H1004 with fire^H784.⁴⁸Thus will I cause lewdness^H2154 to cease^H7673 out of the land^H776, that all women^H802 may be taught^H3256 not to do^H6213 after your lewdness^H2154.⁴⁹And they shall recompense^H5414 your lewdness^H2154 upon you, and ye shall bear^H5375 the sins^H2399 of your idols^H1544: and ye shall know^H3045 that I am the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069.
