Ezekiel 23:42-49 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

42. And a sound of a carefree crowd was with it, and in addition to these men, a crowd of drunken men was brought in from the desert, and they put bracelets on their arms and a crown of splendor on their heads.

43. And I said to the one worn out with adulteries, ‘Now they will prostitute her concerning her fornication, even her.’

44. And so they went to her like going to a female prostitute; and thus they went to Oholah and to Oholibah, the women of obscene conduct.

45. But righteous men, they will judge them with the judgment of committing adultery, and with the judgment of shedding blood; for they were committing adultery, and blood was on their hands.”

46. For thus says the Lord Yahweh: “Bring up against them an assembly, and make them as a thing of horror and as plunder.

47. And an assembly must stone them with stones, and they must cut them down. With their swords they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and with fire they shall burn their houses.

48. And I will cause obscene conduct to cease from the land, and all of the women will be warned, and they will not do according to your wickedness.

49. And they will repay your obscene conduct upon you, and the guilt of your idols you will bear, and you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
