Judgment on Jerusalem

²²“Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God:

^(A)‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you,
From whom you have alienated yourself,
And I will bring them against you from every side:
²³The Babylonians,
All the Chaldeans,
^(B)Pekod, Shoa, Koa,
^(C)All the Assyrians with them,
All of them desirable young men,
Governors and rulers,
Captains and men of renown,
All of them riding on horses.
²⁴And they shall come against you
With chariots, wagons, and war-horses,
With a horde of people.
They shall array against you
Buckler, shield, and helmet all around.

‘I will delegate judgment to them,
And they shall judge you according to their judgments.
²⁵I will set My ^(D)jealousy against you,
And they shall deal furiously with you;
They shall remove your nose and your ears,
And your remnant shall fall by the sword;
They shall take your sons and your daughters,
And your remnant shall be devoured by fire.
²⁶^(E)They shall also strip you of your clothes
And take away your beautiful jewelry.

²⁷‘Thus ^(F)I will make you cease your lewdness and your ^(G)harlotry
Brought from the land of Egypt,
So that you will not lift your eyes to them,
Nor remember Egypt anymore.’

²⁸“For thus says the Lord God: ‘Surely I will deliver you into the hand of ^(H)those you hate, into the hand of those ^(I)from whom you alienated yourself. ²⁹^(J)They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and ^(K)leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your harlotry. ³⁰I will do these things to you because you have ^(L)gone as a harlot after the Gentiles, because you have become defiled by their idols.

²²“Therefore, Oholibah, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will stir up your lovers^(A) against you, those you turned away from in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side^(B)— ²³the Babylonians^(C) and all the Chaldeans,^(D) the men of Pekod^(E) and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, all of them governors and commanders, chariot officers and men of high rank, all mounted on horses.^(F) ²⁴They will come against you with weapons,^[a] chariots and wagons^(G) and with a throng of people; they will take up positions against you on every side with large and small shields and with helmets. I will turn you over to them for punishment,^(H) and they will punish you according to their standards. ²⁵I will direct my jealous anger^(I) against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and those of you who are left will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and daughters,^(J) and those of you who are left will be consumed by fire.^(K) ²⁶They will also strip^(L) you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry.^(M) ²⁷So I will put a stop^(N) to the lewdness and prostitution you began in Egypt. You will not look on these things with longing or remember Egypt anymore.

²⁸“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to deliver you into the hands^(O) of those you hate, to those you turned away from in disgust. ²⁹They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. They will leave you stark naked,^(P) and the shame of your prostitution will be exposed.^(Q) Your lewdness^(R) and promiscuity^(S) ³⁰have brought this on you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols.^(T)
