37 For (A)they have committed adultery, (B)and blood is on their hands. With their idols they have committed adultery, and they have even (C)offered up[a] to them for food the children whom they had borne to me. 38 Moreover, this they have done to me: (D)they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day and (E)profaned my Sabbaths. 39 For when (F)they had slaughtered their children in sacrifice to their idols, on the same day (G)they came into my sanctuary to profane it. And behold, (H)this is what they did in my house. 40 They even sent for men to come from afar, (I)to whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, (J)painted your eyes, (K)and adorned yourself with ornaments. 41 You sat on (L)a stately couch, with a table spread before it (M)on which you had placed my incense and (N)my oil. 42 The (O)sound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards[b] were brought from the wilderness; and they put (P)bracelets on the hands of the women, and (Q)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!’[c] 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! 45 But righteous men (R)shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.”
