"This is what Sovereign YHWH says:
"[Jerusalem] You will drink your sister's cup,
a cup large and deep;
it will bring scorn and derision,
for it holds so much.
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
the cup of ruin and desolation,
the cup of your sister Samaria.
You will drink it and drain it dry;
you will dash it to pieces
and tear your breasts.
I have spoken, declares Sovereign YHWH.
"Therefore this is what Sovereign YHWH says: Since you have forgotten me and thrust me behind your back, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution."
YHWH said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices, for they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They committed adultery with their idols; they even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to me, as food for them. They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house."
Ezekiel 23:32-39 NIV
[Yahweh, thanks for the gift of your holy spirit to give us transforming desire to purify our hearts, honour your sanctuary, and celebrate your Sabbaths. May we worship anew with thankfulness for how you wish to care for us.]
