Ezekiel 23:36-44
36Moreover, the Lord said to me, “Son of man, will you 1judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then 2declare to them their abominations. 37For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, 3whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to 4them as food. 38Again, they have done this to Me: they have 5defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have 6profaned My sabbaths. 39For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My 7sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and lo, thus they did within My house.
40“Furthermore, 8they have even sent for men who come from afar, to whom a messenger was sent; and lo, they came--for whom you bathed, 9painted your eyes and 10decorated yourselves with ornaments; 41and you sat on a splendid 11couch with a 12table arranged before it on which you had set My 13incense and My 14oil. 42The sound of a 1516carefree multitude was with her; and 17drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the 18common sort. And they put 19bracelets on 20the hands of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43“Then I said concerning her who was 21worn out by adulteries, ‘22Will they now commit adultery with her when she is thus?’ 4423But they went in to her as they would go in to a harlot. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
