    << Ezekiel 23 >>
    New Living Translation
    The Adultery of Two Sisters


    1This message came to me from the LORD: 2“Son of man, once there were two sisters who were daughters of the same mother. 3They became prostitutes in Egypt. Even as young girls, they allowed men to fondle their breasts. 4The older girl was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. I married them, and they bore me sons and daughters. I am speaking of Samaria and Jerusalem, for Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.


    5“Then Oholah lusted after other lovers instead of me, and she gave her love to the Assyrian officers. 6They were all attractive young men, captains and commanders dressed in handsome blue, charioteers driving their horses. 7And so she prostituted herself with the most desirable men of Assyria, worshiping their idolsa and defiling herself. 8For when she left Egypt, she did not leave her spirit of prostitution behind. She was still as lewd as in her youth, when the Egyptians slept with her, fondled her breasts, and used her as a prostitute.


    9“And so I handed her over to her Assyrian lovers, whom she desired so much. 10They stripped her, took away her children as their slaves, and then killed her. After she received her punishment, her reputation was known to every woman in the land.


    11“Yet even though Oholibah saw what had happened to Oholah, her sister, she followed right in her footsteps. And she was even more depraved, abandoning herself to her lust and prostitution. 12She fawned over all the Assyrian officers—those captains and commanders in handsome uniforms, those charioteers driving their horses—all of them attractive young men. 13I saw the way she was going, defiling herself just like her older sister.


    14“Then she carried her prostitution even further. She fell in love with pictures that were painted on a wall—pictures of Babylonianb military officers, outfitted in striking red uniforms. 15Handsome belts encircled their waists, and flowing turbans crowned their heads. They were dressed like chariot officers from the land of Babylonia.c 16When she saw these paintings, she longed to give herself to them, so she sent messengers to Babylonia to invite them to come to her. 17So they came and committed adultery with her, defiling her in the bed of love. After being defiled, however, she rejected them in disgust.


    18“In the same way, I became disgusted with Oholibah and rejected her, just as I had rejected her sister, because she flaunted herself before them and gave herself to satisfy their lusts. 19Yet she turned to even greater prostitution, remembering her youth when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse. 21And so, Oholibah, you relived your former days as a young girl in Egypt, when you first allowed your breasts to be fondled.

    Judges 19:22-30


    22 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city surrounded the house. Pounding on the door, they shouted to the old man who owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.”



    23 The owner of the house went outside and said to them, “No, my
    friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this
    outrageous thing. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his
    concubine.     I
    will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them
    whatever you wish. But as for this man, don’t do such an outrageous
    thing.”



    25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine
    and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her
    throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 26 At daybreak the
    woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at
    the door and lay there until daylight.



    27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the
    house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine,
    fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28
    He said to her, “Get up; let’s go.” But there was no answer. Then the
    man put her on his donkey and set out for home.



    29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb
    by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel.
    30 Everyone who saw it was saying to one another, “Such a thing has
    never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of
    Egypt. Just imagine! We must do something! So speak up!”

    Good times, good times.

    EDIT:

    As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of
    fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and
    Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

    20She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse. 21And so, Oholibah, you relived your former days as a young girl in Egypt, when you first allowed your breasts to be fondled.
