Yechezkel 23:38-43 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

38. Moreover this they have done unto Me: they have defiled My Mikdash in the same day, and have profaned My Shabbatot.

39. For when they had slaughtered their banim to their gillulim (idols), then they came the same day, entering into My Mikdash to profane it; and, hinei, thus have they done in the midst of Mine Bais.

40. And furthermore, they sent for anashim to come from afar, unto whom malach (messenger) had been sent; and, hinei, they came; the men for whom thou didst wash thyself, didst paint thy eynayim, and didst deck thyself with jewelry,

41. And satest upon a glorious mittah (couch), and a shulchan spread before it, whereupon thou hast set Mine ketoret and Mine shemen.

42. And a voice of a carefree multitude was with her; and with the anashim of the common rabble were brought Sabeans from the midbar, which put bracelets upon their hands, and ateret tiferet (beautiful crowns) upon their heads.

43. Then said I unto her that was old in niufim (adulteries), Will they now commit zonah harlotry with her, and she with them?
