Ezekiel 23:36-48

Rotherham(i) 36 And Yahweh said unto me, Son of man, Wilt thou judge Oholah, and Oholibah? Then declare thou unto them, their abominations. 37 For they have committed adultery, And, blood, is one their hands, Yea, with their manufactured gods, have they committed adultery. And, even their own children whom they bare unto me, have they set apart for them, to be devoured. 38 Yet more, this, have they done to me,––They have defiled my sanctuary, on the same day, And, my sabbaths, have they profaned. 39 Yea, when they had slaughtered their children, to their manufactured gods, then entered they into my sanctuary, on the same day, to profane it,––And lo! thus, have they done, in the midst of mine own house. 40 Yea verily, that ye must needs send for men, ready to come in, from afar,––in that, a messenger, was sent unto them, and lo! they came, For whom thou didst bathe thyself, Paint thine eyes, And deck thyself with ornaments. 41 Then satest thou upon a glorious couch, With a table prepared, before it,––And, mine incense and mine oil, didst thou set thereon. 42 The noise of careless throng also, was with her, And, besides men out of the mass of mankind, there were brought in drunkards, out of the desert; And they put bracelets upon the hands of both women, And crowns of adorning upon their heads. 43 Then said I, of her that was worn out with adulteries, Will they, now, join in her unchaste doings, even hers? 44 Yet came they in unto her, as men go in unto a woman that is a harlot,––So, came they in unto Oholah, and unto Oholibah––the lewd, women! 45 But, righteous men, they, shall judge them, With the judgment of adulteresses, and, With the judgment of women that shed blood,––Because, adulteresses, they are, And, blood, is on their hands. 46 For, thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––There shall be brought up against them a gathered host, Then shall they be delivered up, for a terror and for a prey, 47 Yea a gathered host, shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters, shall they slay, And, their houses––in the fire, shall they consume. 48 So will I make an end of lewdness, out of the land,––And all women, shall be disciplined, and shall not do according to your lewdness.
