Ezekiel 16:35-43

Ezekiel 16:35-43 TPT

“ ‘Very well, Jerusalem, you whore! Hear the word of YAHWEH! Lord YAHWEH says to you: You poured out your lust and are ready for sex. As a prostitute, you uncovered your genitals for your lovers and for all those disgusting idols. You killed your children to honor those false gods. “ ‘Behold, I will bring together all your lovers to whom you gave pleasure—all those you loved and all those you hated. Yes, I will bring them from everywhere, and I will strip you naked in front of them and let them see your genitals. “ ‘I will judge you with the same death sentence of an adulterer or murderer and bring upon you the fury of my burning rage. I will hand you over to your “lovers,” and they will destroy your elevated chamber and pull down your sacred shrines. They will strip you of your clothes, take away your lovely jewels, and leave you stark naked. Then they will gather an angry mob against you who will stone you to death and hack you to pieces with their swords. They will burn down your homes and execute justice on you while many other women look on. I will once and for all put an end to your wicked harlotry—no more paid lovers for you! “ ‘Once my fury is exhausted with you, I will calm down and let my anger die away. Then I will not be angry anymore. You have entirely forgotten how I treated you when you were young. And you have done nothing but provoke me, so now I, in turn, will cause you to suffer the consequences for your own behavior. And haven’t you committed such gross lewdness in addition to all your other shocking sins? I, Lord YAHWEH, have spoken.’ ”
