Ezekiel 23:44-48
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 23
44But they went in to her as they would go in to a prostitute. This is how they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. 45But they, righteous people, will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
46For this is what the Lord God says: ‘Bring up a contingent against them and turn them over to terror and plunder.
47The contingent will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and their daughters and burn their houses with fire.
48So I will eliminate outrageous conduct from the land, so that all women will take warning and not commit outrageous sin as you have done.
King James Version
Chapter 23
44Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women. 45And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. 46For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled. 47And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. 48Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 23
44Yet they had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. This is how they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those depraved women. 45But righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
46"This is what the Lord God says: Summon an assembly against them and consign them to terror and plunder.
47The assembly will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses.
48So I will put an end to depravity in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your depraved behavior.
New Living Translation
Chapter 23
44And that is what they did. They had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, these shameless prostitutes. 45But righteous people will judge these sister cities for what they really are — adulterers and murderers.
46Now this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Bring an army against them and hand them over to be terrorized and plundered.
47For their enemies will stone them and kill them with swords. They will butcher their sons and daughters and burn their homes.
48In this way, I will put an end to lewdness and idolatry in the land, and my judgment will be a warning to all women not to follow your wicked example.
English Standard Version
Chapter 23
44For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women! 45But righteous men shall pass judgment on them with the sentence of adulteresses, and with the sentence of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.”
46For thus says the Lord GOD: “Bring up a vast host against them, and make them an object of terror and a plunder.
47And the host shall stone them and cut them down with their swords. They shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses.
48Thus will I put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not commit lewdness as you have done.
New International Version
Chapter 23
44And they slept with her. As men sleep with a prostitute, so they slept with those lewd women, Oholah and Oholibah. 45But righteous judges will sentence them to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood, because they are adulterous and blood is on their hands.New King James Version
Chapter 23
44Yet they went in to her, as men go in to a woman who plays the harlot; thus they went in to Oholah and Oholibah, the lewd women. 45But righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.
46“For thus says the Lord God: ‘Bring up an assembly against them, give them up to trouble and plunder.
47The assembly shall stone them with stones and execute them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn their houses with fire.
48Thus I will cause lewdness to cease from the land, that all women may be taught not to practice your lewdness.
