Ezekiel 23:36–49

36 The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, nwilt thou ||judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, odeclare unto them their abominations; 37 That they have committed adultery, and pblood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, qrwhom they bare unto me, rto pass for them through the fire, to devour them. 38 Moreover this they have done unto me: sthey have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and thave profaned my sabbaths. 39 For when rthey had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day ttinto my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, uthus have they done in the midst of mine house. 40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men †to come from far, vunto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wwash thyself, xpaintedst thy eyes, and ydeckedst thyself with ornaments, 41 And satest upon a †stately zbed, and a table aprepared before it, whereupon bthou hast set mine cincense and mine doil. 42 And a voice of ea multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men †of the common sort were brought ||fSabeans from the wilderness, which put gbracelets upon their hands, and hbeautiful crowns upon their heads. 43 Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit †whoredoms with her, and she with them? 44 Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.

45 And the righteous men, ithey shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and kblood is in their hands. 46 For thus saith the Lord God; lI will bring up a company upon them, and will give them †to be removed and spoiled. 47 And lthe company shall stone them with stones, and ||dispatch them with their swords; othey shall slay their sons and their daughters, and pqburn up their houses with fire. 48 Thus qrwill I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, sthat all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. 49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and tye shall bear the sins of your idols: uand ye shall know that I am the Lord God.
