38 Moreover they have done this to Me: They have adefiled My sanctuary on the same day and bprofaned My Sabbaths.
39 For after they had slain their children for their idols, on the same day they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and indeed athus they have done in the midst of My house.
40 “Furthermore you sent for men to come from afar, ato whom a messenger was sent; and there they came. And you bwashed yourself for them, cpainted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.
41 You sat on a stately acouch, with a table prepared before it, bon which you had set My incense and My oil.
42 The sound of a carefree multitude was with her, and1 Sabeans were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort, who put bracelets on their2 wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Then I said concerning her who had grown old in adulteries, ‘Will they commit harlotry with her now, and she with them?’
44 Yet they went in to her, as men go in to a woman who plays the harlot; thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 But righteous men will ajudge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and bblood is on their hands.
46 “For thus says the Lord God: a‘Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to trouble and plunder.
