23 ³⁶ Yahweh said to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominable deeds. 23 ³⁷ For they have committed adultery, and blood is upon their hands; with their idols they have committed adultery; and they have even offered up to them for food the sons whom they had borne to me. 23 ³⁸ Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and profaned my sabbaths. 23 ³⁹ For when they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And lo, this is what they did in my house. 23 ⁴⁰ They even sent for men to come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and lo, they came. For them you bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and decked yourself with ornaments; 23 ⁴¹ you sat upon a stately couch, with a table spread before it on which you had placed my incense and my oil. 23 ⁴² The sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort drunkards were brought from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of the women, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

23 ⁴³ "Then I said, Do not men now commit adultery when they practice harlotry with her? 23 ⁴⁴ For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a harlot. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah to commit lewdness. 23 ⁴⁵ But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is upon their hands."

23 ⁴⁶ For thus says Yahweh GOD: "Bring up a host against them, and make them an object of terror and a spoil. 23 ⁴⁷ And the host shall stone them and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses. 23 ⁴⁸ Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done. 23 ⁴⁹ And your lewdness shall be requited upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry; and you shall know that I am Yahweh GOD."
