Ezekiel 23 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Oholah and Oholibah's Sin and Its Consequences

Eze 23:1And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,

Eze 23:2Two women were daughters of one mother,

Eze 23:3And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.

Eze 23:4

Eze 23:4And their names are Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names -- Samaria is Aholah, And Jerusalem is Aholibah.

Eze 23:5

Eze 23:5And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,

Eze 23:6

Eze 23:6Clothed with blue -- governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses,

Eze 23:7

Eze 23:7And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them -- even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.

Eze 23:8

Eze 23:8And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, 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.

Eze 23:9

Eze 23:9Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted.

Eze 23:10

Eze 23:10They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.

Eze 23:11

Eze 23:11And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.

Eze 23:12

Eze 23:12On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones -- clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.

Eze 23:13

Eze 23:13And I see that she hath been defiled, One way is to them both.

Eze 23:14

Eze 23:14And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,

Eze 23:15

Eze 23:15Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers -- all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.

Eze 23:16

Eze 23:16And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.

Eze 23:17

Eze 23:17And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, 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.

Eze 23:18

Eze 23:18And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.

Eze 23:19

Eze 23:19And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.

Eze 23:20

Eze 23:20And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh is the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses -- their issue.

Eze 23:21

Eze 23:21Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.

Eze 23:22

Eze 23:22Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.

Eze 23:23

Eze 23:23Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them -- rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.

Eze 23:24

Eze 23:24And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.

Eze 23:25

Eze 23:25And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.

Eze 23:26

Eze 23:26And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels.

Eze 23:27

Eze 23:27And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.

Eze 23:28

Eze 23:28For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated.

Eze 23:29

Eze 23:30

Eze 23:30To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols,

Eze 23:31

Eze 23:31In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand.

Eze 23:32

Eze 23:32Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain.

Eze 23:33

Eze 23:33With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria.

Eze 23:34

Eze 23:34And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained it, And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,

Eze 23:35

Eze 23:35Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'

Eze 23:40

Eze 23:40And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.

Eze 23:41

Eze 23:41And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.

Eze 23:42

Eze 23:42And the voice of a multitude at ease is with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.

Eze 23:43

Eze 23:43And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms -- she also!

Eze 23:44

Eze 23:44And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah -- the wicked women.
