023:039 For when they had slain their children to their idols,
then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it;
and behold, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
023:040 Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far,
to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came;
for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and deck
yourself with ornaments,
023:041 and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it,
whereupon you did set my incense and my oil.
023:042 The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her:
and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards
from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on the hands
of them [twain], and beautiful crowns on their heads.
023:043 Then said I of her who was old in adulteries, Now will they
play the prostitute with her, and she [with them].
023:044 They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute:
so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
023:045 Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment
of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood;
because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
023:046 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: I will bring up a company
against them, and will give them to be tossed back and
forth and robbed.
023:047 The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with
their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters,
and burn up their houses with fire.
023:048 Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all
women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
023:049 They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall
bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am
the Lord Yahweh.

024:002 Son of man, write you the name of the day, [even] of this same day:
the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same day.
024:003 Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them,

and also pour water into it:
024:004 gather the pieces of it into it, even every good piece,
the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
024:005 Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile [of wood]
for the bones under [the caldron]; make it boil well;
yes, let the bones of it be boiled in the midst of it.
024:006 Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the bloody city,
to the caldron whose rust is therein, and whose rust
