Ezekiel 23:1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 came again unto me, saying,559 cr 2 Son1121 of man,120 there were two8147 women,802 the daughters1323 of one259 mother:517 cr 3 And they committed whoredoms2181 in Egypt;4714 they committed whoredoms2181 in their youth:5271 there were their breasts7699 pressed,4600 and there they bruised6213 the teats1717 of their virginity.1331 cr 4 And the names8034 of them were Aholah170 the elder,1419 and Aholibah172 her sister:269 and they were mine, and they bare3205 sons1121 and daughters.1323 Thus were their names;8034 Samaria8111 is Aholah,170 and Jerusalem3389 Aholibah.172 cr 5 And Aholah170 played the harlot2181 when she was mine;8478 and she doted5689 on her lovers,157 on the Assyrians804 her neighbours,7138 cr 6 Which were clothed3847 with blue,8504 captains6346 and rulers,5461 all of them desirable2531 young men,970 horsemen6571 riding7392 upon horses.5483 cr 7 Thus she committed5414 her whoredoms8457 with them,{Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them} with all them that were the chosen4005 men1121 of Assyria,804{Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur} and with all on whom she doted:5689 with all their idols1544 she defiled2930 herself. cr 8 Neither left5800 she her whoredoms8457 brought from Egypt:4714 for in her youth5271 they lay7901 with her, and they bruised6213 the breasts1717 of her virginity,1331 and poured8210 their whoredom8457 upon her. cr 9 Wherefore I have delivered5414 her into the hand3027 of her lovers,157 into the hand3027 of the Assyrians,1121 804 upon whom she doted.5689 cr 10 These discovered1540 her nakedness:6172 they took3947 her sons1121 and her daughters,1323 and slew2026 her with the sword:2719 and she became famous8034{Heb. a name} among women;802 for they had executed6213 judgment8196 upon her. cr 11 And when her sister269 Aholibah172 saw7200 this, she was more corrupt7843 in her inordinate love5691 than she,{Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more then etc.} and in her whoredoms8457 more than her sister269 in her whoredoms.2183{Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister} cr 12 She doted5689 upon the Assyrians1121 804 her neighbours,7138 captains6346 and rulers5461 clothed3847 most gorgeously,4358 horsemen6571 riding7392 upon horses,5483 all of them desirable2531 young men.970 cr 13 Then I saw7200 that she was defiled,2930 that they took both8147 one259 way,1870 cr 14 And that she increased3254 her whoredoms:8457 for when she saw7200 men582 pourtrayed2707 upon the wall,7023 the images6754 of the Chaldeans3778 pourtrayed2710 with vermilion,8350 cr 15 Girded2289 with girdles232 upon their loins,4975 exceeding5628 in dyed attire2871 upon their heads,7218 all of them princes7991 to look to,4758 after the manner1823 of the Babylonians1121 894 of Chaldea,3778 the land776 of their nativity:4138 cr 16 And as soon as she saw4758{Heb. at the sight of her eyes} them with her eyes,5869 she doted5689 upon them, and sent7971 messengers4397 unto them into Chaldea.3778 cr 17 And the Babylonians1121 894{Heb. children of Babel} came935 to her into the bed4904 of love,1730 and they defiled2930 her with their whoredom,8457 and she was polluted2930 with them, and her mind5315 was alienated3363 from them.{Heb. tossed or disjointed} cr 18 So she discovered1540 her whoredoms,8457 and discovered1540 her nakedness:6172 then my mind5315 was alienated3363 from her, like as my mind5315 was alienated5361 from her sister.269 cr 19 Yet she multiplied7235 her whoredoms,8457 in calling to remembrance2142 the days3117 of her youth,5271 wherein she had played the harlot2181 in the land776 of Egypt.4714 cr 20 For she doted5689 upon their paramours,6370 whose flesh1320 is as the flesh1320 of asses,2543 and whose issue2231 is like the issue2231 of horses.5483 cr 21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance6485 the lewdness2154 of thy youth,5271 in bruising6213 thy teats1717 by the Egyptians4714 for the paps7699 of thy youth.5271 cr

Ezekiel 23:22 Therefore, O Aholibah,172 thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold, I will raise up5782 thy lovers157 against thee, from whom thy mind5315 is alienated,5361 and I will bring935 them against thee on every side;5439 cr

Ezekiel 23:23 The Babylonians,1121 894 and all the Chaldeans,3778 Pekod,6489 and Shoa,7772 and Koa,6970 and all the Assyrians1121 804 with them: all of them desirable2531 young men,970 captains6346 and rulers,5461 great lords7991 and renowned,7121 all of them riding7392 upon horses.5483 cr 24 And they shall come935 against thee with chariots,2021 wagons,7393 and wheels,1534 and with an assembly6951 of people,5971 which shall set7760 against thee buckler6793 and shield4043 and helmet6959 round about:5439 and I will set5414 judgment4941 before6440 them, and they shall judge8199 thee according to their judgments.4941 cr 25 And I will set5414 my jealousy7068 against thee, and they shall deal6213 furiously2534 with thee: they shall take away5493 thy nose639 and thine ears;241 and thy remnant319 shall fall5307 by the sword:2719 they shall take3947 thy sons1121 and thy daughters;1323 and thy residue319 shall be devoured398 by the fire.784 cr 26 They shall also strip6584 thee out of thy clothes,899 and take away3947 thy fair8597 jewels.3627{Heb. instruments of thy decking} cr 27 Thus will I make thy lewdness2154 to cease7673 from thee, and thy whoredom2184 brought from the land776 of Egypt:4714 so that thou shalt not lift up5375 thine eyes5869 unto them, nor remember2142 Egypt4714 any more. cr 28 For thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Behold, I will deliver5414 thee into the hand3027 of them whom thou hatest,8130 into the hand3027 of them from whom thy mind5315 is alienated:5361 cr 29 And they shall deal6213 with thee hatefully,8135 and shall take away3947 all thy labour,3018 and shall leave5800 thee naked5903 and bare:6181 and the nakedness6172 of thy whoredoms2183 shall be discovered,1540 both thy lewdness2154 and thy whoredoms.8457 cr 30 I will do6213 these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring2181 after310 the heathen,1471 and because thou art polluted2930 with their idols.1544 cr 31 Thou hast walked1980 in the way1870 of thy sister;269 therefore will I give5414 her cup3563 into thine hand.3027 cr 32 Thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Thou shalt drink8354 of thy sister's269 cup3563 deep6013 and large:7342 thou shalt be laughed to scorn6712 and had in derision;3933 it containeth3557 much.4767 cr 33 Thou shalt be filled4390 with drunkenness7943 and sorrow,3015 with the cup3563 of astonishment8047 and desolation,8077 with the cup3563 of thy sister269 Samaria.8111 cr 34 Thou shalt even drink8354 it and suck it out,4680 and thou shalt break1633 the sherds2789 thereof, and pluck off5423 thine own breasts:7699 for I have spoken1696 it, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069 cr 35 Therefore thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 Because thou hast forgotten7911 me, and cast7993 me behind310 thy back,1458 therefore bear5375 thou also thy lewdness2154 and thy whoredoms.8457 cr

Ezekiel 23:36 The LORD3068 said559 moreover unto me; Son1121 of man,120 wilt thou judge8199{Or, plead for} Aholah170 and Aholibah?172 yea, declare5046 unto them their abominations;8441 cr 37 That they have committed adultery,5003 and blood1818 is in their hands,3027 and with their idols1544 have they committed adultery,5003 and have also caused their sons,1121 whom they bare3205 unto me, to pass for them through5674 the fire, to devour402 them. cr 38 Moreover this they have done6213 unto me: they have defiled2930 my sanctuary4720 in the same day,3117 and have profaned2490 my sabbaths.7676 cr 39 For when they had slain7819 their children1121 to their idols,1544 then they came935 the same day3117 into my sanctuary4720 to profane2490 it; and, lo, thus have they done6213 in the midst8432 of mine house.1004 cr 40 And furthermore,637 that ye have sent7971 for men582 to come935{Heb. coming} from far,4801 unto whom a messenger4397 was sent;7971 and, lo, they came:935 for whom thou didst wash7364 thyself, paintedst3583 thy eyes,5869 and deckedst5710 thyself with ornaments,5716 cr 41 And satest3427 upon a stately3520{Heb. honourable} bed,4296 and a table7979 prepared6186 before6440 it, whereupon thou hast set7760 mine incense7004 and mine oil.8081 cr 42 And a voice6963 of a multitude1995 being at ease7961 was with her: and with the men582 of the common sort7230 120{Heb. of the multitude of men} were brought935 Sabeans5436 5433{Or, drunkards} from the wilderness,4057 which put5414 bracelets6781 upon their hands,3027 and beautiful8597 crowns5850 upon their heads.7218 cr 43 Then said559 I unto her that was old1087 in adulteries,5004 Will they now commit2181 whoredoms8457 with her,{Heb. Her whoredoms} and she with them? cr 44 Yet they went in935 unto her, as they go in935 unto a woman802 that playeth the harlot:2181 so went they in935 unto Aholah170 and unto Aholibah,172 the lewd2154 women.802 cr

Ezekiel 23:45 And the righteous6662 men,582 they shall judge8199 them after the manner4941 of adulteresses,5003 and after the manner4941 of women that shed8210 blood;1818 because they are adulteresses,5003 and blood1818 is in their hands.3027 cr 46 For thus saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 I will bring up5927 a company6951 upon them, and will give5414 them to be removed2189 and spoiled.957{Heb. for a removing and spoil} cr 47 And the company6951 shall stone7275 them with stones,68 and dispatch1254 them{Or, single them out} with their swords;2719 they shall slay2026 their sons1121 and their daughters,1323 and burn up8313 their houses1004 with fire.784 cr 48 Thus will I cause lewdness2154 to cease7673 out of the land,776 that all women802 may be taught3256 not to do6213 after your lewdness.2154 cr 49 And they shall recompense5414 your lewdness2154 upon you, and ye shall bear5375 the sins2399 of your idols:1544 and ye shall know3045 that I am the Lord136 GOD.3069 cr
