Tree Of Life Version

Ezekiel 23:38-45 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

38. Again, this they have done to Me—they defiled My Sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Shabbatot.

39. On the same day that they slaughtered their children to their idols, they came into My Sanctuary to profane it. See, that is what they have done within My House!

40. “Furthermore, they sent for men who come from far away. A messenger was sent to them, and look, they came! For them you bathed, painted your eyes and decked yourself with jewelry.

41. You sat on a glorious bed, with a table arranged before it, on which you set out My incense and My oil.

42. The sound of a carefree crowd was with her. Many of the men who came from the desert were drunkards. They put bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.”

43. Then I said about her, worn out from harlotry: “Still they commit immorality with her—even her?

44. They keep going to her, as they go to a prostitute. So they went to Oholah and to Oholibah—the obscene women.

45. Righteous men would judge them as adulteresses are judged and as those who shed blood are judged. For they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.”
