Ezekiel 23:39-43 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

39. They have sacrificed their children to their gods. On that same day they entered my temple and polluted it. That is what they have done in my house.

40. "They even sent messengers to bring men from far away. When the men arrived, Oholibah took a bath. She put makeup on her eyes. She put her jewelry on.

41. She sat down on a beautiful couch. A table was in front of it. There she put the incense and olive oil that belonged to me.

42. "The noise of a carefree crowd was all around her. Sabeans were brought from the desert. Other men were brought along with them. They put bracelets on the arms of the two sisters. They put beautiful crowns on their heads.

43. "Then I spoke about Oholibah. She was worn out by adultery. I said, 'Let them use her as a prostitute. After all, that is what she is.'
