Berean Standard Bible
The word of the LORD came again
unto
me, saying,
Again
the word of the LORD came to
me, saying,
Son of man, there were two women, the
daughters of one
mother :
“
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the
same
mother ,
And they committed
whoredoms
in Egypt ;
they
committed
whoredoms
in
their youth :
there
were
their breasts pressed
, and there
they
bruised
the
teats
of
their virginity
.
and they played
in Egypt ,
prostituting
themselves
from
their youth .
Their breasts were
fondled
there
, and their virgin
bosoms
caressed
.
And
the names
of
them
were
Aholah
the
elder
, and Aholibah
her sister :
and
they were
mine ,
and they
bare
sons and daughters. Thus
were
their names;
Samaria
is Aholah
, and Jerusalem Aholibah
.
The older
was
named
Oholah
, and her sister was
named
Oholibah.
They became
Mine and gave
birth
to
sons and daughters. As
for
their identities,
Oholah
is Samaria
, and Oholibah
is
Jerusalem.
And
Aholah
played
the
harlot
when
she was mine ;
and
she doted
on
her lovers, on
the Assyrians her
neighbours,
Oholah
prostituted
herself
while
she was still
Mine .
She lusted
after
her lovers, the Assyrians —warriors
Which
were
clothed with
blue, captains
and rulers
, all of
them
desirable young men, horsemen riding
upon
horses
.
clothed in
blue, governors
and commanders
, all desirable young men, horsemen mounted
on
steeds
.
Thus
she committed
her
whoredoms
with
them,
with
all them
that
were
the chosen
men
of Assyria ,
and
with
all
on
whom
she doted:
with all their
idols she defiled
herself
.
She offered
sexual
favors
to
all the elite
of Assyria .
She defiled
herself
with all the
idols of
those
for
whom
she lusted
.
Neither
left
she her
whoredoms
brought
from
Egypt :
for
in her youth they
lay
with
her
, and
they
bruised
the
breasts
of
her virginity
, and poured their whoredom
upon her.
She did
not
give
up
the
prostitution
she
began
in
Egypt ,
when
men
slept
with
her
in her youth, caressed
her virgin
bosom
, and poured out
their lust
upon her.
Wherefore
I have
delivered her into the hand
of her lovers, into
the hand
of
the
Assyrians ,
upon
whom she doted
.
Therefore
I delivered her into the hands
of her lovers, the Assyrians for
whom she lusted
.
These
discovered
her nakedness :
they
took
her sons and her
daughters, and slew
her with
the sword :
and
she became famous
among women ;
for
they had
executed judgment upon
her.
They
exposed
her nakedness ,
seized
her sons and daughters, and put
her to
the sword .
Thus
she became a
byword
among women ,
and
they executed judgment against
her.
And
when
her sister Aholibah
saw this, she
was
more
corrupt
in her inordinate
love
than
she,
and in
her
whoredoms
more than her sister in
her
whoredoms
.
Her sister Oholibah
saw this, yet
in her lust
and prostitution
she
was
more depraved
than her sister.
She doted
upon
the Assyrians her
neighbours,
captains
and rulers
clothed
most
gorgeously
, horsemen riding upon
horses
, all of
them
desirable young men.
She too
lusted
after
the Assyrians —governors
and commanders
, warriors
dressed
in
splendor,
horsemen riding on
steeds
, all desirable young men.
Then
I saw that she was
defiled ,
that
they
took
both one
way,
And
I saw that she too
had
defiled herself;
both of
them
had
taken
the
same
path.
And
that
she
increased
her whoredoms:
for
when
she saw men pourtrayed
upon
the wall, the
images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed
with
vermilion,
But
Oholibah
carried
her prostitution
even
further.
She saw the
men portrayed
on
the wall, images of the Chaldeans ,
engraved
in
vermilion,
Girded
with
girdles
upon
their loins,
exceeding
in
dyed
attire
upon
their heads ,
all of them princes
to
look
to,
after
the
manner
of the Babylonians of
Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
wearing
belts
on
their waists
and
flowing
turbans
on
their heads ;
all of them looked
like
officers
of the Babylonians in
Chaldea, the land of their birth.
And
as
soon
as
she
saw
them with
her
eyes
, she doted
upon
them ,
and sent messengers unto
them into
Chaldea.
At
the
sight
of
them, she lusted
for
them and sent messengers to
them in
Chaldea.
And
the Babylonians came to her into
the bed of love, and they defiled her with
their
whoredom,
and
she was
polluted
with
them, and
her
mind
was
alienated
from
them
.
Then
the Babylonians came to her ,
to
the bed of love, and in
their
lust
they defiled her .
But
after
she had
been
defiled
by
them, she
turned
away
in
disgust
.
So
she
discovered
her
whoredoms,
and discovered
her nakedness :
then
my
mind
was
alienated
from her, like
as my
mind
was
alienated
from her sister.
When
Oholibah
openly
prostituted
herself
and exposed
her nakedness ,
I
turned
away
from her in
disgust
, just
as I
had
turned
away
from her sister.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms
, in
calling
to
remembrance
the days of her youth, wherein
she had played
the
harlot
in the land of Egypt .
Yet she multiplied her promiscuity
, remembering
the days of her youth, when
she had prostituted
herself
in the land of Egypt
For
she
doted
upon
their paramours
, whose flesh
is
as
the
flesh
of asses,
and whose issue
is
like the
issue
of horses
.
and
lusted
after
their lovers
, whose genitals
were
like
those
of donkeys
and whose emission
was
like that
of stallions
.
Thus
thou
calledst
to
remembrance
the lewdness
of thy
youth, in
bruising
thy
teats
by
the Egyptians for
the
paps
of
thy
youth
.
So
you
revisited
the indecency
of your
youth, when
the Egyptians caressed
your
bosom
and
pressed
your
young
breasts
.
Therefore, O
Aholibah
, thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold,
I will raise
up
thy
lovers against thee
, from whom thy
mind
is
alienated,
and I will bring them against thee
on
every side ;
Therefore, Oholibah
, this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
I will incite
your
lovers against you
, those
from whom you
turned
away
in
disgust.
And I will bring them against you
from
every side —
The Babylonians ,
and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and
Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them :
all of
them
desirable young men, captains
and rulers
, great
lords
and renowned,
all
of them
riding
upon
horses.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, the
men
of
Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them —
all desirable young men, governors
and commanders
, officers
and men
of renown,
mounted
on
horses.
And
they shall
come against thee
with chariots
, wagons
, and
wheels
, and with
an
assembly
of
people,
which
shall
set
against thee
buckler and shield and helmet round
about:
and
I will set
judgment before
them, and they shall
judge
thee
according to their judgments
.
They will
come against you
with a
host
of
peoples
, with
weapons
, chariots
, and wagons.
They
will
array
themselves
against you
on
every
side
with
buckler and shield and helmet .
I will delegate
judgment to
them, and they will
punish
you
according to their own
standards
.
And I will set my jealousy
against thee
, and they shall
deal furiously
with thee:
they shall
take
away
thy
nose
and thine
ears ;
and thy
remnant
shall
fall by the sword :
they shall
take
thy
sons and thy
daughters ;
and thy
residue
shall
be devoured
by the
fire.
And I will set My jealous
rage
against you
, and they will
deal with you
in
fury.
They will
cut
off
your
noses
and ears ,
and your
survivors
will
fall by the sword .
They will
seize
your
sons and daughters ,
and your
remnant
will
be consumed
by fire.
They shall
also
strip thee
out
of
thy
clothes ,
and take away
thy
fair
jewels
.
They will
strip off
your
clothes and take your
fine
jewelry
.
Thus
will
I make
thy
lewdness
to cease
from
thee,
and thy
whoredom
brought
from
the land of Egypt :
so
that
thou
shalt
not lift up
thine
eyes unto
them ,
nor
remember Egypt any
more
.
So
I will
put
an
end
to your
indecency
and prostitution,
which
began
in
the land of Egypt ,
and
you
will
not lift your
eyes to
them or
remember Egypt anymore
. ’
For thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
Behold,
I will deliver thee
into the hand
of them
whom
thou
hatest
, into
the
hand
of
them
from whom thy
mind
is
alienated:
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘Surely
I will deliver you
into the hands
of those
you
hate
, from whom you
turned
away
in
disgust.
And
they shall
deal
with thee
hatefully
, and
shall
take away
all thy
labour
, and shall
leave thee
naked and bare :
and
the nakedness
of thy
whoredoms
shall
be discovered,
both
thy
lewdness
and
thy
whoredoms
.
They will
treat
you
with hatred
, take all for
which
you
have
worked
, and leave you
naked and bare ,
so
that
the shame
of your
prostitution
will
be exposed
. Your
indecency
and
promiscuity
I
will
do
these things unto
thee
, because thou
hast
gone
a
whoring
after
the heathen,
and because
thou
art
polluted
with their idols.
have
brought
these things upon
you
, because you
have
prostituted
yourself
with
the nations
and defiled
yourself
with their idols.
Thou
hast
walked
in
the way
of thy
sister ;
therefore
will
I give
her cup into thine
hand.
Because
you
have
followed
the path
of your
sister ,
I will
put
her cup into your
hand. ’
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.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘You
will
drink your
sister’s
cup ,
a
cup
deep and wide.
It
will
bring
scorn and derision ,
for
it holds
so
much.
Thou
shalt
be filled with drunkenness and sorrow
, with the
cup of astonishment
and desolation, with
the cup of thy
sister Samaria.
You
will
be filled with drunkenness and grief
, with a
cup of devastation
and desolation, the cup of your
sister Samaria.
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.
You
will
drink it and drain
it ;
you
will
dash
it
to
pieces
, and tear
your
breasts .
For I have spoken, ’
declares
the Lord GOD.
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
.
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
Because you
have
forgotten Me and have
cast Me behind your
back, you
must
bear the
consequences
of
your
indecency
and prostitution
. ’”
The LORD said moreover
unto
me ;
Son of man, wilt
thou
judge
Aholah
and Aholibah
? yea,
declare unto
them their abominations ;
Then
the LORD said to
me :
“
Son of man, will
you
pass
judgment
against
Oholah
and Oholibah
? Then
declare to
them their abominations .
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
.
For
they have committed adultery, and blood is on
their hands .
They
have
committed
adultery
with their idols .
They have even
sacrificed
their children
, whom they bore
to
Me, in
the fire as
food
for
their
idols
.
Moreover
this
they have done unto
me: they have
defiled my sanctuary in
the
same
day,
and have
profaned my sabbaths.
They have also
done this
to
Me: On
that
very
same
day,
they defiled My sanctuary and profaned My Sabbaths.
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.
On
the
very
day
they slaughtered
their children for
their idols, they entered
My sanctuary to profane it .
Yes
, they did
this
inside
My
house.
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,
Furthermore, you
sisters
sent messengers
for men who
came
from afar
; and behold
, when
they arrived,
you
bathed
for them
, painted
your
eyes, and adorned
yourself
with jewelry.
And
satest
upon
a stately
bed,
and
a table prepared
before it, whereupon
thou
hast
set mine
incense and mine
oil .
You
sat
on
a couch
of
luxury
with
a table spread
before it, on
which
you
had
set My
incense and My
oil ,
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
.
accompanied
by
the sound
of a
carefree
crowd.
Drunkards
were brought in
from the desert
along
with
men
from
the
rabble
, who
put bracelets on
your
wrists
and beautiful crowns on
your
head
.
Then said
I unto
her that
was
old in adulteries ,
Will
they
now commit
whoredoms
with
her, and
she with
them?
Then I said
of
her who
had
grown
old in adulteries :
‘
Now let
them
use
her as
a
prostitute
, for
that
is
all
she is!’
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.
And
they slept
with
her as with
a prostitute;
they slept
with
Oholah
and Oholibah
, those
lewd women.
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.
But
righteous men will
sentence
them to
the punishment
of those
who
commit
adultery
and bloodshed,
because they are adulteresses with
blood on
their hands.
For
thus
saith
the Lord GOD ;
I
will
bring up
a company
upon
them ,
and will
give
them to be
removed
and spoiled
.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD says:
‘
Bring a mob
against
them and consign
them to terror
and plunder
.
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
.
The mob
will
stone them and cut
them down
with their swords .
They will
kill
their sons and daughters and burn down
their houses.
Thus
will
I cause
lewdness
to cease
out
of
the land, that
all women may
be taught
not to do
after
your lewdness
.
So
I will
put
an
end
to indecency
in
the land, and
all the
women will
be admonished
not to imitate
your behavior
.
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.
They will
repay
you for
your
indecency
, and you
will
bear the consequences
of your sins
of
idolatry.
Then
you
will
know that I am the Lord GOD. ’”
