36Moreover, the Lord said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. 37For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. So they have committed adultery with their idols, and even made their sons, whom they bore to Me, pass through the fire to them as food. 38Again, they have done this to Me: they have defiled My sanctuary on the same day, and have profaned My Sabbaths. 39For when they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and behold, this is what they did within My house.
40“Furthermore, they have even sent for men who come from a great distance, to whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came—for whom you bathed, put makeup on your eyes, and adorned yourselves with jewelry; 41and you sat on a splendid couch with a table arranged in front of it on which you had set My incense and My oil. 42And the sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and heavy drinkers were brought from the wilderness with people from the multitude of humanity. And they put bracelets on the wrists of the women and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43“Then I said concerning her who was worn out by adulteries, ‘Will they now commit adultery with her when she is like this?’ 44But they went in to her as they would go in to a prostitute. This is how they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
