Ezekiel 23:35-40 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

35. “So this is what the Lord God says: You have forgotten me and turned your back on me. So you will be punished for your sexual sins.”

36. The Lord said to me: “Human being, will you judge Samaria and Jerusalem? Then show them their hated acts.

37. They are guilty of adultery and murder. They have taken part in adultery with their idols. They even offered their children as sacrifices in the fire. They were to be food for these idols.

38. They have also done this to me: They made my Temple unclean at the same time they dishonored my Sabbaths.

39. They offered their children to their idols. Then they entered my Temple at that very time to dishonor it. That is what they did inside my Temple.

40. “They even sent for men from far away. A messenger was sent to them, and they came. The two sisters bathed themselves for them, painted their eyes and put on jewelry.
