Bible verse
But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
Ezekiel 23:45 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 23.
41 You sat on a couch of luxury with a table spread before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil,
42 accompanied by the sound of a carefree crowd. Drunkards were brought in from the desert along with men from the rabble, who put bracelets on your wrists and beautiful crowns on your head.
43 Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’
44 And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.
45 But righteous men will sentence them to the punishment of those who commit adultery and bloodshed, because they are adulteresses with blood on their hands.
46 This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Bring a mob against them and consign them 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 an end to indecency in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your behavior.
49 They will repay you for your indecency, and you will bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
