Ezekiel23:25
25 And I will set my jealousie against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose, and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters, and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
As a jealous provoked Husband, I will be as much against thee as they are, their fury shall avenge my quarrel.
Their disposition naturally is to furious wrath, my jealousie shall enkindle it more.
As thou hast prostituted thy beauty like an harlot, so they shall use thee as such, and marre thy beauty, and brand thee for ever, as thou deservest, and that thou mayst be as loathsome in thy deformity, as ever thou wast thought lovely in thy beauty; this punishment of Adulteresses is known to have been used, and is yet in use.
Or else at last, thy latter end shall be to fall by the Sword, those, that do not live under such reproach, shall dye by the Sword of the Enemy.
For Captives and Slaves for work, and somewhat a thousand times worse.
Either the people, who did hide themselves in vaults and cellars, and came not out, or else what remains of that the Chaldeans cannot carry away, all this shall be devoured by fire as when the City was burnt.
