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.”
46. For thus says Adonai Elohim: “Bring up an assembly against them. Give them over to terror and plunder.
47. The assembly will stone them to death and dispatch them with their swords. They will slaughter their sons and daughters. They will burn down their houses.
48. So I will make obscenity cease from the land, that all women may be taught not to imitate your obscenity.
49. They will repay you both for wickedness and you will bear the sins of your idols. So you will know that I am Adonai.”
