God’s Word Translation
Ezekiel 23:36-44
36The 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.
39When they sacrificed their children to their idols, they came into my holy place and dishonored it. That is what they’ve done in my temple.
40“They even sent messengers to invite men to come from far away. When the men arrived, they washed themselves for the men, painted their eyes, and put on their jewels.
41They sat on their fine couches with tables in front of them. They put my incense and my olive oil on their tables.
42“I heard the noise from a carefree crowd. A large number of people came from the desert, and they put bracelets on the women’s wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43Then I said, ‘She is worn out from her acts of adultery.’ Yet, men continued to have sex with her.
44Men slept with her. They slept with those sinful women, Oholah and Oholibah just as they slept with a prostitute.
