[and] all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men,
governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown,
all of them riding on horses.
023:024 They shall come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons,
and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves
against you with buckler and shield and helmet round about;
and I will commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge
you according to their judgments.
023:025 I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with
you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears;
and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take
your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured
by the fire.
023:026 They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away
your beautiful jewels.
023:027 Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you,
and your prostitution [brought] from the land of Egypt;
so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember
Egypt any more.
023:028 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will deliver you
into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them
from whom your soul is alienated;
023:029 and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take
away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare;
and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered,
both your lewdness and your prostitution.
023:030 These things shall be done to you, because you have played
the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted
with their idols.
023:031 You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore will I
give her cup into your hand.
023:032 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: You will drink of your sister's cup,
which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision;
it contains much.
023:033 You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of
astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
023:034 You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall
gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts;
for I have spoken it, says the Lord Yahweh.
023:035 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you have forgotten me,
and cast me behind your back, therefore bear you also your
lewdness and your prostitution.
023:036 Yahweh said moreover to me: Son of man, will you judge Oholah
and Oholibah? then declare to them their abominations.
023:037 For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands;
and with their idols have they committed adultery;
and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me,
to pass through [the fire] to them to be devoured.
023:038 Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my
sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
