Ezekiel 23
1 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
2 O son of humankind two women daughters of a mother one they were.
Two women were daughters of one mother,
3 And they acted as prostitutes in Egypt in youth their they acted as prostitutes there they were handled breasts their and there they squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti their.
And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
4 And names their [was] Oholah the old [one] and [was] Oholibah sister her and they belonged to me and they bore sons and daughters and names their [was] Samaria Oholah and [was] Jerusalem Oholibah.
And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
5 And she acted as a prostitute Oholah under me and she lusted on lovers her to Assyria [were] warriors.
And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
6 Clothed of blue governors and officials young men of desire all of them horsemen riders of horses.
Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
7 And she gave prostitution her to them [were] [the] choicest of [the] sons of Assyria all of them and by all [those] whom she lusted after by all idols their she made herself unclean.
And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
8 And prostitution her since Egypt not she forsook if her they had lain with in youth her and they they had squeezed [the] nipples of virginiti her and they had poured out prostitution their on her.
And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
9 Therefore I gave her in [the] hand of lovers her in [the] hand of [the] people of Assyria whom she had lusted on them.
Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
10 They they uncovered nakedness her sons her and daughters her they took and her with the sword they killed and she became a name to women and judgments they brought about on her.
They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
11 And she saw sister her Oholibah and she acted corruptly lust her more than her and prostitution her more than [the] prostitutions of sister her.
And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 To [the] sons of Assyria she lusted governors and officials warriors clothed of perfection horsemen riders of horses [were] young men of desire all of them.
She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
13 And I saw that she had made herself unclean way one [belonged] to both of them.
And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
14 And she added to prostitution her and she saw men of a carved [thing] on the wall [the] images of ([the] Chaldeans *Q(k)*) inscribed with vermilion.
And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,

16 (And she lusted! *Q(K)*) on them to [the] sight of eyes her and she sent messengers to them Chaldea towards.
And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
17 And they came to her [the] sons of Babylon to a bed of love and they defiled her by prostitution their and she became unclean by them and it was alienated self her from them.
And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
18 And she uncovered prostitution her and she uncovered nakedness her and it was alienated self my from with her just as it had been alienated self my from with sister her.
And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
19 And she increased prostitution her to remember [the] days of youth her when she acted as a prostitute in [the] land of Egypt.
And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
20 And she lusted! on paramours their whom [was the] flesh of donkeys flesh their and [was the] ejaculation of horses ejaculation their.
And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
21 And you sought [the] licentiousness of youth your when squeezed since Egypt nipples your on account of [the] breasts of youth your.
You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
22 Therefore O Oholibah thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse lovers your on you [those] whom it was alienated self your from them and I will bring them on you from round about.
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.

And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
25 And I will set jealousy my on you and they will deal with with you in rage nose your and ears your they will remove and remainder your by the sword it will fall they sons your and daughters your they will take and remainder your it will be consumed by fire.
And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
26 And they will strip off you clothes your and they will take away [the] articles of beauty your.
And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
27 And I will cause to cease licentiousness your from you and prostitution your from [the] land of Egypt and not you will lift up eyes your to them and Egypt not you will remember again.
And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
28 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to give you in [the] hand of [those] whom you hate in [the] hand of [those] whom it has been alienated self your from them.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
29 And they will deal with with you in hatred and they will take all property your and they will leave you nakedness and bareness and it will be uncovered [the] nakedness of prostitutions your and licentiousness your and prostitution your.
And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
30 They have done these [things] to you because acted as a prostitute you after nations on that you made yourself unclean by idols their.
To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
31 In [the] way of sister your you have walked and I will put cup her in hand your.
You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
32 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh [the] cup of sister your you will drink deep and wide it will become laughter and mockery much to contain.
Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
33 Drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled [is] a cup of horror and desolation [the] cup of sister your Samaria.
You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
34 And you will drink it and you will drain [it] and fragments its you will break and breasts your you will tear out for I I have spoken [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
35 Therefore thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh because you have forgotten me and you have thrown me behind back your and also you bear licentiousness your and prostitution your.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
36 And he said Yahweh to me O son of humankind ¿ will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and declare to them abominations their.
And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
37 For they have committed adultery and blood [is] on hands their and with idols their they have committed adultery and also children their whom they bore to me they made pass through to them to food.
For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
38 Again this they have done to me they have made unclean sanctuary my on the day that and sabbaths my they have profaned.
Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
39 And when had slaughtered they children their to idols their and they went into sanctuary my on the day that to profane it and there! thus they did in [the] midst of house my.
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
40 And also for they sent for men [who] come from a distance whom a messenger [was] sent to them and there! they came for whom you bathed you painted eyes your and you put on ornament[s].
And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
41 And you sat on a couch glorious and a table [was] arranged before it and incense my and oil my you put on it.
And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
42 And [the] sound of a multitude at ease [was] in her and to men from [the] multitude of humankind [were] brought (Sabeans *Q(K)*) from [the] wilderness and they put bracelets to hands their and a crown of beauty on heads their.
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
43 And I said of the [woman] worn out adulteries (now they will act as a prostitutes *Q(K)*) prostitution her and she.
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
44 And he went into her as goes into a woman a prostitute so they went into Oholah and into Oholibah [the] women of licentiousness.
And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
45 And people righteous they they will judge them judgment of adulteresses and judgment of [women who] shed blood for [are] adulteresses they and blood [is] on hands their.
As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
46 For thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh bring up on them a company and give over them to terror and to spoil.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
47 And they will stone on them stone[s] [the] company and they will cut down them with swords their sons their and daughters their they will kill and houses their with fire they will burn.
And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
48 And I will cause to cease licentiousness from the land and they will be warned all the women and not they will do like licentiousness your.
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
49 And people will requite licentiousness your to you and [the] sins of idols your you will bear and you will know that I [am the] Lord Yahweh.
And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
