Read in context

Ezekiel 23:43–47 · Berean Standard Bible

43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’

44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.

45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.

46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder.

47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
