Context of Ezekiel 23:48
46This is what the Almighty Lord says: Bring an army to attack those women. Make them very afraid. Take away their valuable things. 47The army will throw stones at them and cut them with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters. They will destroy their houses with fire. That is how I will stop the people of this land from doing disgusting things. All the women will see what has happened to Oholah and Oholibah. They will not do the same disgusting things themselves. 49And you, Oholah and Oholibah, will receive the punishment that you deserve. You have lived as prostitutes, and you have not been faithful to me. Instead, you have worshipped idols. So I will punish you. Then you will know that I am the Almighty Lord. ’
