Ezekiel 23:36–49

³⁶The Lord said moreover unto me; Son of man, ⁿwilt thou ^||judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, ^odeclare unto them their abominations; ³⁷That 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. ³⁸Moreover this they have done unto me: ^sthey have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and ^thave profaned my sabbaths. ³⁹For 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. ⁴⁰And 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, ⁴¹And satest upon a ^†stately ^zbed, and a table ^aprepared before it, whereupon ^bthou hast set mine ^cincense and mine ^doil. ⁴²And 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. ⁴³Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit ^†whoredoms with her, and she with them? ⁴⁴Yet 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.

⁴⁵And 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. ⁴⁶For thus saith the Lord God; ^lI will bring up a company upon them, and will give them ^†to be removed and spoiled. ⁴⁷And ^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. ⁴⁸Thus ^qrwill I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, ^sthat all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. ⁴⁹And 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.
