Ezekiel 23:37-39
International Standard Version
37 because they’ve committed adultery, and blood covers their hands. They’ve also committed adultery with their idols, making their sons born to me to pass through the fire[a] as an offering to[b] them.
38 “They’ve also done this to me: They defiled my sanctuary and profaned my Sabbaths, all at the same time![c] 39 When they killed their sons as offerings to[d] their idols, they brought them to my sanctuary and defiled it.[e] Look what they’ve done with my Temple!

New International Version
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, as food for them.(A) 38 They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary(B) and desecrated my Sabbaths.(C) 39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated(D) it. That is what they did in my house.(E)
