Ezekiel

Ezekiel 23:45–49

⁴⁵But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.

⁴⁶This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them to terror and plunder. ⁴⁷The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses. ⁴⁸So I will put an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior. ⁴⁹They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
