EZEKIEL Chapter 23: 35-49

35 'THEREFORE THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:

SINCE YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN ME

AND THRUST ME BEHIND YOUR BACK,

YOU MUST BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES

OF YOUR LEWDNESS AND PROSTITUTION.'

36 The Lord said to me:

'Son of man, will you Judge Oholah and Oholibah?

Then Confront them with their Detestable Practices,

37 For they have committed Adultery and blood is on their hands.

They committed adultery with their Idols;

they even Sacrificed their Children,

Whom they bore to Me, as food for them.

38 They have done this to Me:

At the same time they Defiled My Sanctuary

And Desecrated My Sabbaths.

39 On the very day they Sacrificed their Children to their Idols,

They entered My Sanctuary and Desecrated it.

THAT IS WHAT THEY DID IN MY HOUSE.

40 They even sent messengers for men who came from far away,

And when they arrived you bathed yourself for them,

Painted your eyes and put on your jewelry.

41 You sat on an elegant couch

With a table spread before it

On which you had placed the incense and oil

THAT BELONGED TO ME.

42 'The noise of a carefree crowd was around her;

Sabeans were brought from the rabble,

And they put bracelets on the arms

Of the woman and her sister

And beautiful crowns on their heads.

43 THEN I SAID TO THE ONE WORN OUT BY ADULTERY,

'NOW LET THEM USE HER AS A PROSTITUTE,

FOR THAT IS ALL SHE IS.'

44 AND THEY SLEPT WITH HER.

AS MEN SLEEP WITH A PROSTITUTE,

SO THEY SLEPT WITH THOSE LEWD WOMEN,

OHALAH AND OHOALIBAH.

45 But Righteous men will sentence them to the Punishment

Of women who commit Adultery and shed blood,

Because they are Adulterous and blood is on their hands.

46 THIS IS WHAT THE SOVEREIGN LORD SAYS:

Bring a Mob against them and give them over

To Terror and Plunder.

47 The Mob will Stone them

And Cut them down with their Swords;

They will Kill their sons and daughters

And burn down their houses.

48 SO I WILL PUT AND END TO LEWDNESS IN THE LAND,

THAT ALL WOMEN MAY TAKE WARNING

AND NOT IMITATE YOU.

49 You will Suffer the Penalty for your Lewdness

And bear the Consequences of your Sins of Idolatry.

THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM THE SOVEREIGN LORD.'

(Ezekiel 23: 35-49)

Will Adulterous America

Not Suffer the Consequences for her Adultery

Before the Living God?

Yes, she will.
