Ezekiel 23:36-40 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

36. The Lord said to me, "Son of man, are you going to judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then tell them they have done many evil things. I hate those things.

37. They have committed adultery. Their hands are covered with the blood of the people they have murdered. They have worshiped other gods. They have not been faithful to me. They have even sacrificed their children as food to other gods. Those children belonged to me.

38. "Here are some other things the sisters have done to me. They have polluted my temple. They have misused my Sabbath days.

39. They have sacrificed their children to their gods. On that same day they entered my temple and polluted it. That is what they have done in my house.

40. "They even sent messengers to bring men from far away. When the men arrived, Oholibah took a bath. She put makeup on her eyes. She put her jewelry on.
