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 L
ORD
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.
CHAPTER 24
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth
day
of the month, the word of the L
ORD
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
