Yehezkiel 16:36-38

16:36 This is what the sovereign Lord says: Because your lust ¹  was poured out and your nakedness was uncovered in your prostitution with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children you have given to them, 16:37 therefore, take note: I am about to gather all your lovers whom you enjoyed, both all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around, and I will expose your nakedness to them, and they will see all your nakedness. ²  16:38 I will punish you as an adulteress and murderer deserves. ³  I will avenge your bloody deeds with furious rage. ⁴ 

Yehezkiel 23:37

23:37 For they have committed adultery and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and their sons, whom they bore to me, ⁵  they have passed through the fire as food to their idols. ⁶ 

[16:36]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT.

[16:37]  ² sn Harlots suffered degradation when their nakedness was exposed (Jer 13:22, 26; Hos 2:12; Nah 3:5).

[16:38]  ³ tn Heb “and I will judge you (with) the judgments of adulteresses and of those who shed blood.”

[16:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will give you the blood of rage and zeal.”

[23:37]  ⁵ sn The Lord speaks here in the role of the husband of the sisters.

[23:37]  ⁶ tn Heb “they have passed to them for food.” The verb is commonly taken to refer to passing children through fire, especially as an offering to the pagan god Molech. See Jer 32:35.
