Ezekiel 23:41-49 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

41. You sat on a luxurious couch with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and oil.

42. The sound of a carefree crowd was there. Drunkards from the desert were brought in, along with common men. They put bracelets on the women’s hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.

43. Then I said concerning this woman worn out by adultery: Will they now have illicit sex with her, even her?

44. Yet they had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. This is how they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those obscene women.

45. But righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.

46. “This is what the Lord God says: Summon an assembly against them and consign them to terror and plunder.

47. The assembly will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses with fire.

48. So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your indecent behavior.

49. They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences for your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
