36. The LORD said to me, "Son of man, you must accuse Oholah and Oholibah of all their detestable sins. 37. They have committed both adultery and murder —adultery by worshiping idols and murder by burning as sacrifices the children they bore to me. 38. Furthermore, they have defiled my Temple and violated my Sabbath day! 39. On the very day that they sacrificed their children to their idols, they boldly came into my Temple to worship! They came in and defiled my house. 40. "You sisters sent messengers to distant lands to get men. Then when they arrived, you bathed yourselves, painted your eyelids, and put on your finest jewels for them. 41. You sat with them on a beautifully embroidered couch and put my incense and my sepcial oil on a table that was spread before you. 42. From your room came the sound of many men carousing. They were lustful men and drunkards from the wilderness, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your heads. 43. Then I said, 'If they really want to have sex with old worn-out prostitutes like these, let them!' 44. And that is what they did. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, these shameless prostitutes. 45. But righteous people will judge these sister cities for what they really are adulterers and murderers. 46. "Now this is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring an army against them and hand them over to be terrorized and plundered. 47. For their enemies will stone them and kill them with swords. They will butcher their sons and daughters and burn their homes. 48. In this way, I will put an end to lewdness and idolatry in the land, and my judgment will be a warning to others not to foolow their wicked example. 49. You will be fully repaid for all your postitution — your worship of idols. Yes, you will suffer the full penalty. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD." Ezekiel 23:36-49 NLT 4.
