be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
[30] I will do these things unto thee, because
thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
[31] Thou
hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
[32] Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it
containeth much.
[33] Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment
and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
[34] Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou
shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
[35]
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore
bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
[36] The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man,
wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
[37] That they have
committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and
have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
[38]
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned
my sabbaths.
[39] For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into
my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
[40] And furthermore,
that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for
whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
[41] And satest
upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine
oil.
[42] And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort
were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns
upon their heads.
[43] Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms
with her, and she with them?
[44] Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the
harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
[45] And the righteous men, they
shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because
they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
[46] For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a
company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
[47] And the company shall stone
them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters,
and burn up their houses with fire.
[48] Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women
may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
[49] And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you,
and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezek.24
[1] Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came
unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon
set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
[3] And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say
unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
[4] Gather the
pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
[5]
Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe
the bones of it therein.
[6] Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose
scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall up on
it.
[7] For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the
ground, to cover it with dust;
[8] That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her
blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
[9] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe
to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
[10] Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume
the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
[11] Then set it empty upon the coals thereof,
that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the
scum of it may be consumed.
[12] She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth
out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
[13] In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee,
and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my
fury to rest upon thee.
[14] I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go
back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall
they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
[15] Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[16] Son of
man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn
