Ezekiel 23:36-49

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. So they have committedH5003 adulteryH5003 with their idolsH1544, and evenH1571 made their sonsH1121, 3whomH834 they boreH3205 to Me, 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 slaughteredH7819 their childrenH1121 for their idolsH1544, they enteredH935 My 7sanctuaryH4720 on the sameH1931 dayH3117 to profaneH2490 it; and beholdH2009, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 they didH6213 withinH8432 My houseH1004.

40“FurthermoreH637, 8they have evenH3588 sentH7971 for menH376 who comeH935 from a greatH4801 distanceH4801, to whomH834 a messengerH4397 was sentH7971; and beholdH2009, they cameH935--for whomH834 you bathedH7364, 9putH3583 makeupH3583 on your eyesH5869, and 10adornedH5710 yourselvesH5710 with jewelryH5716; 41and you satH3427 on a splendidH3519 11couchH4296 with a 12tableH7979 arrangedH6186 in frontH6440 of it on which you had setH7760 My 13incenseH7004 and My 14oilH8081. 42And the soundH6963 of a 1516carefreeH7961 multitudeH1995 was with her; and 17heavyH5433 drinkersH5433 were broughtH935 from the wildernessH4057 with peopleH376 from the multitudeH7230 of humanityH120. And they putH5414 18braceletsH6781 on 19the wristsH3027 of the women and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 on their headsH7218.

43“Then I saidH559 concerning her who was 20wornH1087 outH1087 by adulteriesH5004, ‘21Will they nowH6258 commitH2181 adulteryH2181 with her when she is like this?’ 4422But they wentH935 inH935 to her as they would goH935 inH935 to a prostituteH2181. ThisH3651 isH3651 howH3651 they wentH935 inH935 to OholahH170 and to OholibahH172, the lewdH2154 womenH802. 45But they, righteousH6662 peopleH376, will 23judgeH8199 them with the judgmentH4941 of adulteressesH5003 and with the judgmentH4941 of women who shedH8210 bloodH1818, becauseH3588 they are adulteressesH5003 and bloodH1818 is on their handsH3027.

46“For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 saysH559: ‘BringH5927 upH5927 a contingentH6951 againstH5921 them and turnH5414 them overH5414 to 24terrorH2113 and plunderH957. 47The contingentH6951 will 25stoneH7275 them with stonesH68 and cutH1254 them downH1254 with their swordsH2719; they will killH2026 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 and 26burnH8313 their housesH1004 with fireH784. 48So I will eliminateH7673 outrageousH2154 conductH2154 from the landH776, so that allH3605 womenH802 will takeH3256 warningH3256 and not commitH6213 27outrageousH2154 sinH2154 as you have done. 49Your outrageousH2154 conductH2154 28will be 29repaidH5414 to you, and you will bearH5375 the guiltH2399 for your idolsH1544; so you will knowH3045 that I am the LordH136 GodH3068.’”
