Ezekiel 23:44-46
New English Translation
44 They slept with her[a] the way someone sleeps with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, promiscuous women. 45 But upright men will punish them appropriately for their adultery and bloodshed,[b] because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
46 “For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Bring up an army[c] against them and subject them[d] to terror and plunder.
