## Ezekiel 23:40-42 in Context (Verses 37–45 KJV)
 
 [37 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/37) That they have committed adultery, and blood *is* in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through *the fire*, to devour *them*.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/38) Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/39) For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/40) And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger *was* sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,*
 
 [41 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/41) And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.*
 
 [42 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/42) And a voice of a multitude being at ease *was* with her: and with the men of the common sort *were* brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.**
 
 [43 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/43) Then said I unto *her that was* old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she *with them*?*
 
 [44 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/44) Yet 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.
 
 [45 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/45) ¶ And 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.
