Ezekiel 23:46

Sin

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.

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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
