Ezekiel 23:49
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.
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.’”
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.
