For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands.

This is what they have done in the middle of my house.“ They even sent for men from far away; when the messenger arrived, those men set out. For them you bathed, painted your eyes, and decorated yourself with jewelry.You sat on a magnificent couch, with a table arranged in front of it where you placed my incense and my olive oil.The sound of a carefree crowd accompanied her, including all kinds of men; even Sabeans were brought from the desert. The sisters put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.Then I said about the one worn out by adultery,‘ Now they will commit immoral acts with her.’They had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. In this way they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, promiscuous women.But upright men will punish them appropriately for their adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
