Ezekiel 23:36-44
36Moreover, the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, will you 1judgeH8199 OholahH170 and OholibahH172? Then 2declareH5046 to them their abominationsH8441. 37For they have committedH5003 adulteryH5003, and bloodH1818 is on their handsH3027. Thus they have committedH5003 adulteryH5003 with their idolsH1544 and evenH1571 caused their sonsH1121, 3whomH834 they boreH3205 to Me, to passH5674 throughH5674 the fire to 4them as foodH402. 38AgainH5750, they have doneH6213 thisH2088 to Me: they have 5defiledH2930 My sanctuaryH4720 on the sameH1931 dayH3117 and have 6profanedH2490 My sabbathsH7676. 39For when they had slaughteredH7819 their childrenH1121 for their idolsH1544, they enteredH935 My 7sanctuaryH4720 on the sameH1931 dayH3117 to profaneH2490 it; and loH2009, thusH3541 they didH6213 withinH8432 My houseH1004.
40“FurthermoreH637, 8they have evenH3588 sentH7971 for menH376 who comeH935 from afarH4801, to whomH834 a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and loH2009, they cameH935--for whomH834 you bathedH7364, 9paintedH3583 your eyesH5869 and 10decoratedH5710 yourselvesH5710 with ornamentsH5716; 41and you satH3427 on a splendidH3519 11couchH4296 with a 12tableH7979 arrangedH6186 beforeH6440 it on which you had setH7760 My 13incenseH7004 and My 14oilH8081. 42The soundH6963 of a 1516carefreeH7961 multitudeH1995 was with her; and 17drunkardsH5433 were broughtH935 from the wildernessH4057 with menH376 of the 18commonH7230H120 sortH7230H120. And they putH5414 19braceletsH6781 on 20the handsH3027 of the women and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 on their headsH7218.
43“Then I saidH559 concerning her who was 21wornH1087 out by adulteriesH5004, ‘22Will they nowH6258 commitH2181 adulteryH2181 with her when she is thus?’ 4423But they wentH935 in to her as they would goH935 in to a harlotH2181. ThusH3651 they wentH935 in to OholahH170 and to OholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802.
