• Ezek 23:36-48 : 36 The LORD said to me: 'Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their abominations.' 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, passing them through the fire as food for their idols. 38 They have also done this to me: On the same day they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. 39 When they slaughtered their children as sacrifices to their idols, they came to my sanctuary on the same day to desecrate it. See, this is what they have done in my house. 40 Furthermore, they sent for men from far away, messengers were dispatched to them, and they came. You bathed yourself, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry. 41 You sat on a glorious couch with a table prepared before it, where you placed my incense and my oil. 42 The sound of a carefree crowd was with her, and drunkards were brought from the desert. They put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads. 43 Then I said about the one worn out by adultery, ‘Now they will continue their acts of fornication with her.’ 44 They went to her as men go to a prostitute. In the same way, they went to Oholah and Oholibah, the immoral women. 45 But righteous men will judge them for committing adultery and shedding blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands. 46 For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: ‘Bring a great assembly against them and hand them over to terror and plunder.' 47 They will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses with fire. 48 So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, so that all women may be warned and refrain from imitating your immoral ways.

They call to Egypt; they go to Assyria. 12 As they go, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the sky. I will discipline them as their assembly has heard. 13 Woe to them because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them, but they speak lies about me. 14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail on their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine but turn away from me. 15 I disciplined them and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me. 16 They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their princes will fall by the sword because of their insolent words. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
• Amos 4:6-9 : 6 I also gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities and lack of bread in all your places, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 7 I withheld the rain from you when there were still three months until harvest.

I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. The stench of your camps rose into your nostrils, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 11 I overthrew some of you as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a firebrand snatched from the burning, yet you did not return to Me,' declares the LORD. 12 Therefore, this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
