38 And they also did this to me: on that day, they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my sabbaths.
39 On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered my sanctuary to desecrate it. Thus they acted within my house!
40 Moreover, they sent for men who had to come from afar; when a messenger was sent to them, they came. On their account you bathed, painted your eyes, and put on jewelry.
41 You sat on a magnificent couch, set before it a table, on which to lay my incense and oil.
42 The cries of a mob! The shouts of men coming in from the wilderness! They put bracelets on the women’s arms and splendid crowns on their heads.
43 I said: “That worn-out one still has adulteries in her! Now they engage her as a prostitute and she…”
44 And indeed they did come in to her as men come in to a prostitute. Thus they came to Oholah and Oholibah, the depraved women.
