Ezekiel 23:43-49

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴³ “Then I said, Do not men now commit adultery^[a] when they practice harlotry with her? ⁴⁴ For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a harlot. Thus they went in to Oho′lah and to Ohol′ibah to commit lewdness.^{[b] 45} But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is upon their hands.”

⁴⁶ For thus says the Lord God: “Bring up a host against them, and make them an object of terror and a spoil. ⁴⁷ And the host shall stone them and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses. ⁴⁸ Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done. ⁴⁹ And your lewdness shall be requited upon you, and you shall bear the penalty for your sinful idolatry; and you shall know that I am the Lord God.”
