Ezekiel 23:25-27
New English Translation
25 I will direct[a] my jealous anger against you, and they will deal with you in rage. They will cut off your nose and your ears,[b] and your survivors will die[c] by the sword. They will seize your sons and daughters, and your survivors will be consumed by fire. 26 They will strip your clothes off you and take away your beautiful jewelry. 27 So I will put an end to your obscene conduct and your prostitution that you have practiced in the land of Egypt.[d] You will not seek their help[e] or remember Egypt anymore.
