Read in context

Ezekiel 23:45–49 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

48 So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.

49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
