38-39. They came into my temple that same day, and that made it unfit as a place to worship me. They have even stopped respecting the Sabbath.
40. They sent messengers to attract men from far away. When those men arrived, the two sisters took baths and put on eye shadow and jewellery.
41. They sat on a fine couch, and in front of them was a table for the olive oil and incense that had belonged to me.
42. Their room was always filled with a noisy crowd of drunkards brought in from the desert. These men gave the women bracelets and beautiful crowns,
43. and I noticed that the men were eager to have sex with these women, though they were exhausted from being prostitutes.
44. In fact, the men had sex over and over with Oholah and Oholibah, the two sinful sisters.
45. But good men will some day accuse those two of murder and of being unfaithful, because they are certainly guilty.
46. So I, the Lord God, now say to these sisters:I will call together an angry mob that will abuse and rob you.
47. They will stone you to death and cut you to pieces; they will kill your children and burn down your houses.
48. I will get rid of sinful prostitution in this country, so that women everywhere will be warned not to act as you have.
49. You will be punished for becoming prostitutes and for worshipping idols, and you will know that I am the Lord God.
