Context of Ezekiel 23:48
46For thus says Adonai Elohim: “Bring up an assembly against them. Give them over to terror and plunder. 47The assembly will stone them to death and dispatch them with their swords. They will slaughter their sons and daughters. They will burn down their houses. So I will make obscenity cease from the land, that all women may be taught not to imitate your obscenity. 49They will repay you both for wickedness and you will bear the sins of your idols. So you will know that I am Adonai.”
