35. “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Since you have forgotten me and turned your back on me, you must bear the consequences of your lewdness and prostitution.”
36. The Lord said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices,

38. They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths.
39. On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house.
40. “They even sent messengers for men who came from far away, and when they arrived you bathed yourself for them, applied eye makeup and put on your jewelry.

44. And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah.
