Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, women of wickedness! 45 And righteous men, they will pass judgment on them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of those shedding blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands! 46 For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Bring up against them an assembly, and give them to terror and plunder! 47 And the assembly will stone them with stones and will cut down them with their swords; their sons and their daughters they will slay, they will burn and their houses with the fire. 48 And this wickedness I will make cease from the land, and all the women will be admonished and they will not act according to your⁺ wickedness. 49 And they will put your⁺ wickedness upon you⁺, and the sins of your⁺ idols you⁺ will bear. And you⁺ will know that I am the Lord YHWH.’” Ezekiel 23:40-49, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
