Ezekiel 23:1-44

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came again unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
there were two
<08147>
women
<0802>_,
the daughters
<01323>
of one
<0259>
mother
<0517>_:
And they committed whoredoms
<02181> (8799)
in Egypt
<04714>_;
they committed whoredoms
<02181> (8804)
in their youth
<05271>_:
there were their breasts
<07699>
pressed
<04600> (8795)_,
and there they bruised
<06213> (8765)
the teats
<01717>
of their virginity
<01331>_.
And the names
<08034>
of them [were] Aholah
<0170>
the elder
<01419>_,
and Aholibah
<0172>
her sister
<0269>_:
and they were mine, and they bare
<03205> (8799)
sons
<01121>
and daughters
<01323>_.
Thus [were] their names
<08034>_;
Samaria
<08111>
[is] Aholah
<0170>_,
and Jerusalem
<03389>
Aholibah
<0172>_.
{Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle} {Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her}
And Aholah
<0170>
played the harlot
<02181> (8799)
when she was mine
<08478>_;
and she doted
<05689> (8799)
on her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
on the Assyrians
<0804>
[her] neighbours
<07138>_,
[Which were] clothed
<03847> (8803)
with blue
<08504>_,
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>_,
all of them desirable
<02531>
young men
<0970>_,
horsemen
<06571>
riding
<07392> (8802)
upon horses
<05483>_.
Thus she committed
<05414> (8799)
her whoredoms
<08457>
with them, with all them [that were] the chosen
<04005>
men
<01121>
of Assyria
<0804>_,
and with all on whom she doted
<05689> (8804)_:
with all their idols
<01544>
she defiled
<02930> (8738)
herself. {committed...: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} {the chosen...: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur}
Neither left
<05800> (8804)
she her whoredoms
<08457>
[brought] from Egypt
<04714>_:
for in her youth
<05271>
they lay
<07901> (8804)
with her, and they bruised
<06213> (8765)
the breasts
<01717>
of her virginity
<01331>_,
and poured
<08210> (8799)
their whoredom
<08457>
upon her.
Wherefore I have delivered
<05414> (8804)
her into the hand
<03027>
of her lovers
<0157> (8764)_,
into the hand
<03027>
of the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>_,
upon whom she doted
<05689> (8804)_.
These discovered
<01540> (8765)
her nakedness
<06172>_:
they took
<03947> (8804)
her sons
<01121>
and her daughters
<01323>_,
and slew
<02026> (8804)
her with the sword
<02719>_:
and she became famous
<08034>
among women
<0802>_;
for they had executed
<06213> (8804)
judgment
<08196>
upon her. {famous: Heb. a name}
And when her sister
<0269>
Aholibah
<0172>
saw
<07200> (8799)
[this], she was more corrupt
<07843> (8686)
in her inordinate love
<05691>
than she, and in her whoredoms
<08457>
more than her sister
<0269>
in [her] whoredoms
<02183>_.
{she was...: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc} {more than...: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister}
She doted
<05689> (8804)
upon the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>
[her] neighbours
<07138>_,
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>
clothed
<03847> (8803)
most gorgeously
<04358>_,
horsemen
<06571>
riding
<07392> (8802)
upon horses
<05483>_,
all of them desirable
<02531>
young men
<0970>_.
Then I saw
<07200> (8799)
that she was defiled
<02930> (8738)_,
[that] they [took] both
<08147>
one
<0259>
way
<01870>_,
And [that] she increased
<03254> (8686)
her whoredoms
<08457>_:
for when she saw
<07200> (8799)
men
<0582>
pourtrayed
<02707> (8794)
upon the wall
<07023>_,
the images
<06754>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
pourtrayed
<02710> (8803)
with vermilion
<08350>_,
Girded
<02289>
with girdles
<0232>
upon their loins
<04975>_,
exceeding
<05628> (8803)
in dyed attire
<02871>
upon their heads
<07218>_,
all of them princes
<07991>
to look to
<04758>_,
after the manner
<01823>
of the Babylonians
<01121> <0894>
of Chaldea
<03778>_,
the land
<0776>
of their nativity
<04138>_:
And as soon as she saw
<04758>
them with her eyes
<05869>_,
she doted
<05689> (8799)
upon them, and sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
unto them into Chaldea
<03778>_.
{as soon...: Heb. at the sight of her eyes}
And the Babylonians
<01121> <0894>
came
<0935> (8799)
to her into the bed
<04904>
of love
<01730>_,
and they defiled
<02930> (8762)
her with their whoredom
<08457>_,
and she was polluted
<02930> (8799)
with them, and her mind
<05315>
was alienated
<03363> (8799)
from them. {Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel} {alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed}
So she discovered
<01540> (8762)
her whoredoms
<08457>_,
and discovered
<01540> (8762)
her nakedness
<06172>_:
then my mind
<05315>
was alienated
<03363> (8799)
from her, like as my mind
<05315>
was alienated
<05361> (8804)
from her sister
<0269>_.
Yet she multiplied
<07235> (8686)
her whoredoms
<08457>_,
in calling to remembrance
<02142> (8800)
the days
<03117>
of her youth
<05271>_,
wherein she had played the harlot
<02181> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
For she doted
<05689> (8799)
upon their paramours
<06370>_,
whose flesh
<01320>
[is as] the flesh
<01320>
of asses
<02543>_,
and whose issue
<02231>
[is like] the issue
<02231>
of horses
<05483>_.
Thus thou calledst to remembrance
<06485> (8799)
the lewdness
<02154>
of thy youth
<05271>_,
in bruising
<06213> (8800)
thy teats
<01717>
by the Egyptians
<04714>
for the paps
<07699>
of thy youth
<05271>_.
Therefore, O Aholibah
<0172>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)
thy lovers
<0157> (8764)
against thee, from whom thy mind
<05315>
is alienated
<05361> (8804)_,
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
them against thee on every side
<05439>_;
The Babylonians
<01121> <0894>_,
and all the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
Pekod
<06489>_,
and Shoa
<07772>_,
and Koa
<06970>_,
[and] all the Assyrians
<01121> <0804>
with them: all of them desirable
<02531>
young men
<0970>_,
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>_,
great lords
<07991>
and renowned
<07121> (8803)_,
all of them riding
<07392> (8802)
upon horses
<05483>_.
And they shall come
<0935> (8804)
against thee with chariots
<02021>_,
wagons
<07393>_,
and wheels
<01534>_,
and with an assembly
<06951>
of people
<05971>_,
[which] shall set
<07760> (8799)
against thee buckler
<06793>
and shield
<04043>
and helmet
<06959>
round about
<05439>_:
and I will set
<05414> (8804)
judgment
<04941>
before
<06440>
them, and they shall judge
<08199> (8804)
thee according to their judgments
<04941>_.
And I will set
<05414> (8804)
my jealousy
<07068>
against thee, and they shall deal
<06213> (8804)
furiously
<02534>
with thee: they shall take away
<05493> (8686)
thy nose
<0639>
and thine ears
<0241>_;
and thy remnant
<0319>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_:
they shall take
<03947> (8799)
thy sons
<01121>
and thy daughters
<01323>_;
and thy residue
<0319>
shall be devoured
<0398> (8735)
by the fire
<0784>_.
They shall also strip
<06584> (8689)
thee out of thy clothes
<0899>_,
and take away
<03947> (8804)
thy fair
<08597>
jewels
<03627>_.
{fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking}
Thus will I make thy lewdness
<02154>
to cease
<07673> (8689)
from thee, and thy whoredom
<02184>
[brought] from the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
so that thou shalt not lift up
<05375> (8799)
thine eyes
<05869>
unto them, nor remember
<02142> (8799)
Egypt
<04714>
any more.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Behold, I will deliver
<05414> (8802)
thee into the hand
<03027>
[of them] whom thou hatest
<08130> (8804)_,
into the hand
<03027>
[of them] from whom thy mind
<05315>
is alienated
<05361> (8804)_:
And they shall deal
<06213> (8804)
with thee hatefully
<08135>_,
and shall take away
<03947> (8804)
all thy labour
<03018>_,
and shall leave
<05800> (8804)
thee naked
<05903>
and bare
<06181>_:
and the nakedness
<06172>
of thy whoredoms
<02183>
shall be discovered
<01540> (8738)_,
both thy lewdness
<02154>
and thy whoredoms
<08457>_.
I will do
<06213> (8800)
these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring
<02181> (8800)
after
<0310>
the heathen
<01471>_,
[and] because thou art polluted
<02930> (8738)
with their idols
<01544>_.
Thou hast walked
<01980> (8804)
in the way
<01870>
of thy sister
<0269>_;
therefore will I give
<05414> (8804)
her cup
<03563>
into thine hand
<03027>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Thou shalt drink
<08354> (8799)
of thy sister's
<0269>
cup
<03563>
deep
<06013>
and large
<07342>_:
thou shalt be laughed to scorn
<06712>
and had in derision
<03933>_;
it containeth
<03557> (8687)
much
<04767>_.
Thou shalt be filled
<04390> (8735)
with drunkenness
<07943>
and sorrow
<03015>_,
with the cup
<03563>
of astonishment
<08047>
and desolation
<08077>_,
with the cup
<03563>
of thy sister
<0269>
Samaria
<08111>_.
Thou shalt even drink
<08354> (8804)
it and suck [it] out
<04680> (8804)_,
and thou shalt break
<01633> (8762)
the sherds
<02789>
thereof, and pluck off
<05423> (8762)
thine own breasts
<07699>_:
for I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it], saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_;
Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)
me, and cast
<07993> (8686)
me behind
<0310>
thy back
<01458>_,
therefore bear
<05375> (8798)
thou also thy lewdness
<02154>
and thy whoredoms
<08457>_.
The LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover unto me; Son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_,
wilt thou judge
<08199> (8799)
Aholah
<0170>
and Aholibah
<0172>_?
yea, declare
<05046> (8685)
unto them their abominations
<08441>_;
{judge: or, plead for}
That they have committed adultery
<05003> (8765)_,
and blood
<01818>
[is] in their hands
<03027>_,
and with their idols
<01544>
have they committed adultery
<05003> (8765)_,
and have also caused their sons
<01121>_,
whom they bare
<03205> (8804)
unto me, to pass for them through
<05674> (8689)
[the fire], to devour
<0402>
[them].
Moreover this they have done
<06213> (8804)
unto me: they have defiled
<02930> (8765)
my sanctuary
<04720>
in the same day
<03117>_,
and have profaned
<02490> (8765)
my sabbaths
<07676>_.
For when they had slain
<07819> (8800)
their children
<01121>
to their idols
<01544>_,
then they came
<0935> (8799)
the same day
<03117>
into my sanctuary
<04720>
to profane
<02490> (8763)
it; and, lo, thus have they done
<06213> (8804)
in the midst
<08432>
of mine house
<01004>_.
And furthermore
<0637>_,
that ye have sent
<07971> (8799)
for men
<0582>
to come
<0935> (8802)
from far
<04801>_,
unto whom a messenger
<04397>
[was] sent
<07971> (8803)_;
and, lo, they came
<0935> (8804)_:
for whom thou didst wash
<07364> (8804)
thyself, paintedst
<03583> (8804)
thy eyes
<05869>_,
and deckedst
<05710> (8804)
thyself with ornaments
<05716>_,
{to come: Heb. coming}
And satest
<03427> (8804)
upon a stately
<03520>
bed
<04296>_,
and a table
<07979>
prepared
<06186> (8803)
before
<06440>
it, whereupon thou hast set
<07760> (8804)
mine incense
<07004>
and mine oil
<08081>_.
{stately: Heb. honourable}
And a voice
<06963>
of a multitude
<01995>
being at ease
<07961>
[was] with her: and with the men
<0582>
of the common sort
<07230> <0120>
[were] brought
<0935> (8716)
Sabeans
<05436> (8675) <05433> (8802)
from the wilderness
<04057>_,
which put
<05414> (8799)
bracelets
<06781>
upon their hands
<03027>_,
and beautiful
<08597>
crowns
<05850>
upon their heads
<07218>_.
{of the...: Heb. of the multitude of men} {Sabeans: or, drunkards}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I unto [her that was] old
<01087>
in adulteries
<05004>_,
Will they now commit
<02181> (8799)
whoredoms
<08457>
with her, and she [with them]? {whoredoms...: Heb. her whoredoms}
Yet they went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her, as they go in
<0935> (8800)
unto a woman
<0802>
that playeth the harlot
<02181> (8802)_:
so went they in
<0935> (8804)
unto Aholah
<0170>
and unto Aholibah
<0172>_,
the lewd
<02154>
women
<0802>_.
