In this way the Lord will put an end +to the detestable deeds she had done with them. The same cup of judgement that +Samaria drank will be given to Jerusalem in full measure, so that even the +dregs and drops left on the shards of the cup will be drunk. She has forgotten +the Lord and His holiness, and now must endure the consequences. + +Again, the Lord reiterates the sins of Israel, and has Ezekiel declare them to +the people. Idolatry, including child sacrifice. Adultery with foreign +officials, and feasts celebrating their iniquity. Righteous men will pass +judgement on her like an adulteress or murderess. The terror that will befall +is to become a watchword and a warning, so that everyone knows not to do these +things. + +* * * + +Make us holy as You are holy.
