The word of Jehovah came again unto me, saying, |

The wordº
of the LORDº
cameº
again untoº
me, saying,ºº |
|
23:2
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: |
23:2
Sonº
of man,º
there wereº
twoº
women,º
the daughtersº
of oneº
mother:º |
|
23:3
and they played the harlot in Egypt; they played the harlot in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity. |
23:3
And they committed whoredomsºº
in Egypt;º
they committed whoredomsºº
in their youth:º
thereº
were their breastsº
pressed,ºº
and thereº
they bruisedºº
the teatsº
of their virginity.º |
|
23:4
And the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah. |
23:4
And the namesº
of them [were] Aholahº
the elder,º
and Aholibahº
her sister:º
and they wereº
mine, and they bareºº
sonsº
and daughters.º
Thus [were] their names;º
Samariaº
[is] Aholah,º
and Jerusalemº
Aholibah.º |
|
23:5
And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors, |
23:5
And Aholahº
played the harlotºº
when she wasº
mine;º
and she dotedºº
onº
her lovers,ºº
onº
the Assyriansº
[her] neighbours,º |
|
23:6
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. |
23:6
[Which were] clothedºº
with blue,º
captainsº
and rulers,º
allº
of them desirableº
young men,º
horsemenº
ridingºº
uponº
horses.º |
|
23:7
And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. |
23:7
Thus she committedºº
her whoredomsº
withº
them, with allº
them [that were] the chosenº
menº
of Assyria,º
and with allº
on whomº
she doted:ºº
with allº
their idolsº
she defiledºº
herself.º |
|
23:8
Neither hath she left her whoredoms since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their whoredom upon her. |
23:8
Neitherº
leftºº
she her whoredomsº
[brought] from Egypt:ºº
forº
in her youthº
they layºº
withº
her, and theyº
bruisedºº
the breastsº
of her virginity,º
and pouredºº
their whoredomº
uponº
her. |
|
23:9
Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. |
23:9
Whereforeº
I have deliveredºº
her into the handº
of her lovers,ºº
into the handº
of the Assyrians,ºº
uponº

|
23:10
These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon her. |
23:10
Theseº
discoveredºº
her nakedness:º
they tookºº
her sonsº
and her daughters,º
and slewºº
her with the sword:º
and she becameº
famousº
among women;º
for they had executedºº
judgmentº
upon her. |
|
23:11
And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister. |
23:11
And when her sisterº
Aholibahº
sawºº
[this], she was more corruptºº
in her inordinate loveº
thanº
she, and in her whoredomsº
more than her sisterº
in [her] whoredoms.ºº |
|
23:12
She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. |

allº

young men.º |
|
23:13
And I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way. |
23:13
Then I sawºº
thatº
she was defiled,ºº
[that] they [took] bothº
oneº
way,º |
|
23:14
And she increased her whoredoms; for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, |
23:14
And [that] she increasedººº
her whoredoms:º
for when she sawºº
menºº
pourtrayedºº
uponº
the wall,º
the imagesº
of the Chaldeansº
pourtrayedºº
with vermilion,º |
|
23:15
girded with girdles upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity. |
23:15
Girdedº
with girdlesº
upon their loins,º
exceedingºº
in dyed attireº
upon their heads,º
allº
of them princesº
to look to,º
after the mannerº
of the Babyloniansºº
of Chaldea,º
the landº
of their nativity:º |
|
23:16
And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea. |
23:16
And as soon as she sawº
them with her eyes,º
she dotedºº
uponº
them, and sentºº
messengersº
untoº
them into Chaldea.º |

23:17
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 soul was alienated from them. |
23:17
And the Babyloniansºº
cameºº
toº
her into the bedº
of love,º
and they defiledºº
her with their whoredom,º

with them, and her mindº
was alienatedºº
fromº
them. |
|
23:18
So she uncovered her whoredoms, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister. |
23:18
So she discoveredºº
her whoredoms,º
and discoveredººº
her nakedness:º
then my mindº
was alienatedºº
fromºº
her, like asº
my mindº
was alienatedºº
fromºº
her sister.º |
|
23:19
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. |
23:19
Yet she multipliedººº
her whoredoms,º
in calling to remembranceººº
the daysº
of her youth,º
whereinº
she had played the harlotºº
in the landº
of Egypt.º |
|
23:20
And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. |
23:20
For she dotedºº
uponº
their paramours,º
whoseº
fleshº
[is as] the fleshº
of asses,º
and whose issueº
[is like] the issueº
of horses.º |
|
23:21
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth. |
23:21
Thus thou calledst to remembranceººº
the lewdnessº
of thy youth,º
in bruisingºº
thy teatsº

23:22 ¶
Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side: |

and I will bringºº
them againstº
thee on every side;ºº |
|
23:23
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses. |

23:24
And they shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about; and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments. |
23:24
And they shall comeºº
againstº

judgmentº
beforeº
them, and they shall judgeºº

|
23:25

Forº
thusº
saithºº
the Lordº
GOD;º

into the handº
[of them] from whomº
thy mindº
is alienated:ººº |

and they shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labor, and shall leave thee naked and bare; and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be uncovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms. |
23:29
And they shall dealºº
withº
thee hatefully,º
and shall take awayºº
allº
thy labour,º
and shall leaveºº
thee nakedº
and bare:º
and the nakednessº
of thy whoredomsº
shall be discovered,ºº
both thy lewdnessº
and thy whoredoms.º |
|
23:30
These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast played the harlot after the nations, and because thou art polluted with their idols. |
23:30
I will doºº
theseº
[things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringºº
afterº
the heathen,º
[and] becauseºº
thou art pollutedºº
with their idols.º |
|
23:31
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thy hand. |

Thusº
saithºº
the Lordº
GOD;º
Thou shalt drinkºº

Thou shalt even drinkºº
it and suck [it] out,ºº

saidºº
moreover untoº
me; Sonº
of man,º
wilt thou judgeººº
Aholahº
and Aholibah?º
yea, declareºº
unto themº
their abominations;º |
|
23:37
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through [the fire] unto them to be devoured. |
23:37
Thatº
they have committed adultery,ºº
and bloodº

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 my house. |
23:39
For when they had slainººº

Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they play the harlot with her, and she [with them]. |
23:43
Then saidºº
I unto [her that was] oldº
in adulteries,º
Will they nowº
commitºº
whoredomsº

23:44
And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women. |
23:44
Yet they went inºº
untoº
her, as they go inºº
untoº
a womanº
that playeth the harlot:ºº

And the righteousº
men,ºº
