Ezekiel 23:42-44

Expanded Bible

⁴² “There was the noise of a ·reckless [or carefree] crowd in the city. Common people gathered, and ·drunkards [or Sabaeans; ^Cinhabitants of Sheba, in present-day Yemen] were brought from the ·desert [wilderness]. They put bracelets on the wrists of the two sisters and beautiful crowns on their heads. ⁴³ Then I said about the one who was worn out by her acts of adultery, ‘Let them continue their ·sexual sins [prostitution] with her. ·She is nothing but a prostitute [^L…even her].’ ⁴⁴ They kept going to her as they would go to a prostitute. So they continued to go to ·Samaria [^LOholah] and ·Jerusalem [^LOholibah; v. 4], these ·shameful [lewd; obscene] women.
