2 “Rebuke your mother,(A) rebuke her,
for she is not my wife,
and I am not her husband.
Let her remove the adulterous(B) look from her face
and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
3 Otherwise I will strip(C) her naked
and make her as bare as on the day she was born;(D)
I will make her like a desert,(E)
turn her into a parched land,
and slay her with thirst.
4 I will not show my love to her children,(F)
because they are the children of adultery.(G)

She said, ‘I will go after my lovers,(H)
who give me my food and my water,

New International Version
5 “Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians(A)—warriors(B) 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after.(C) 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt,(D) when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her.(E)
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hands(F) of her lovers,(G) the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.(H) 10 They stripped(I) her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women,(J) and punishment was inflicted(K) on her.(L)
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this,(M) yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.(N) 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men.(O) 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.(P)
14 “But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall,(Q) figures of Chaldeans[a] portrayed in red,(R) 15 with belts(S) around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.[b] 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers(T) to them in Chaldea.(U) 17 Then the Babylonians(V) came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.(W) 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body,(X) I turned away(Y) from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.(Z) 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.[c](AA)

New International Version
Ezekiel 16:25-36
New International Version
25 At every street corner(A) you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.(B) 26 You engaged in prostitution(C) with the Egyptians,(D) your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger(E) with your increasing promiscuity.(F) 27 So I stretched out my hand(G) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over(H) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,(I) who were shocked by your lewd conduct. 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians(J) too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.(K) 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia,[a](L) a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.(M)
30 “‘I am filled with fury against you,[b] declares the Sovereign Lord, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute!(N) 31 When you built your mounds at every street corner and made your lofty shrines(O) in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
32 “‘You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband! 33 All prostitutes receive gifts,(P) but you give gifts(Q) to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.(R) 34 So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others; no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you.
35 “‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord! 36 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you poured out your lust and exposed your naked body in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood,(S)

At whom do you sneer

Are you not a brood of rebels,(F)

you sacrifice your children(I) in the ravines

6 The idols(J) among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion;
indeed, they are your lot.
Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings(K)

In view of all this, should I relent?(L)
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(M)
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(N)

Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,(O)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(P)
