Ezekiel 23:47

Compare all

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.

47 ^aThe assembly shall stone them with stones and¹ execute them with their swords; ^bthey shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.

48 Thus ^aI will cause lewdness to cease from the land, ^bthat all women may be taught not to practice your lewdness.

49 They shall repay you for your lewdness, and you shall ^apay for your idolatrous sins. ^bThen you shall know that I am the Lord God.’ ”
