Ezekiel 23

37 Ref For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through [the fire] to them to be devoured.

38 Ref Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

39 Ref For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.

40 Ref Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and, behold, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and deck yourself with ornaments,

41 Ref and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you did set my incense and my oil.

42 Ref The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns on their heads.

43 Ref Then said I of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she [with them].

44 Ref They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.

45 Ref Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
