And thou shalt drink it, and shalt drink it up even to the dregs,
and thou shalt devour the fragments thereof, thou shalt rend thy
breasts: because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.
23:35. Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast forgotten
me, and hast cast me off behind thy back, bear thou also thy wickedness,
and thy fornications.
23:36. And the Lord spoke to me, saying: Son of man, dost thou judge
