Bible. Ezekiel
26:022:027 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the
prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest
gain.
26:022:028 And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter,
seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith
the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
26:022:029 The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised
robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have
oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
26:022:030 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the
hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I
should not destroy it: but I found none.
26:022:031 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have
consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
26:023:001 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
26:023:002 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
26:023:003 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.
26:023:004 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.
26:023:005 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted
on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
26:023:006 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
26:023:007 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.
26:023:008 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.
26:023:009 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers,
into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
26:023:010 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.
26:023:011 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.
26:023:012 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and
rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses,
