22 “Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord (a)God, ‘Behold I will arouse your lovers against you, from whom (b)you were alienated, and I will bring them against you from every side: 23 the (c)(A)Babylonians and all the (B)Chaldeans, (C)Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the (d)(D)Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and officials all of them, officers and (e)men of renown, all of them riding on horses. 24 They will come against you with weapons, (E)chariots and (f)wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet; and I will commit the (F)judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs. 25 I will set My (G)jealousy against you, that they may deal with you in wrath. They will remove your nose and your ears; and your (g)survivors will fall by the sword. They will take your (H)sons and your daughters; and your (h)survivors will be consumed by the fire.
