Ezekiel 23

This chapter uses the allegory of two sisters, Oholah (Samaria, Israel) and Oholibah (Jerusalem, Judah), to vividly describe the nation's spiritual adultery. Both sisters became prostitutes in Egypt, then continued their harlotry with Assyria, and finally with Babylon. Oholah (Israel) was destroyed first. Oholibah (Judah) saw this but continued her wickedness. God declares that Judah's former lovers (Babylonians) will now become her executioners, bringing utter shame and judgment upon her.
