SCRIPTURE

"Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side:" — Ezekiel 23:22 (ASV)

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus says the Lord God Or, you two tribes of Benjamin and Judah, hear what the Lord says unto you:

behold, I will raise up your lovers against thee ; the Chaldeans, whom they had formerly loved, and in whose alliance they were, and whose idols they worshipped:

from whom your mind is alienated ; having broke covenant with them, and cast off their yoke, and rebelled against them:

and I will bring them against thee on every side ; to besiege and encompass Jerusalem on every side with their army, as they did, so that there was no escaping.
