Ezekiel 23:42-44
English Standard Version
42 The (A)sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards[a] were brought from the wilderness; and they put (B)bracelets on the hands of the women, and (C)beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 “Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, ‘Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!’[b] 44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women!

Ezekiel 23:42-44
New International Version
42 “The noise of a carefree(A) crowd was around her; drunkards(B) were brought from the desert along with men from the rabble, and they put bracelets(C) on the wrists of the woman and her sister and beautiful crowns on their heads.(D) 43 Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute,(E) for that is all she is.’ 44 And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah.
