Context of Ezekiel 23:36

34You will drink from it and drain it. You will break it into pieces and tear your breasts off your body. I have spoken, declares the Almighty Lord. 35“This is what the Almighty Lord says: You have forgotten me and turned your back on me. So you will be punished for your sinning and prostitution.” The Lord said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah and tell them about their disgusting practices? 37They have committed adultery. Their hands are covered with blood. They commit adultery with their idols. They have sacrificed the children they gave birth to for me as burnt offerings to idols. 38They have also done this to me: They have polluted my holy places when they do these things and dishonored the days to worship me.
