Ezekiel 23:41-43
Easy-to-Read Version
41 You sat on a fine bed with a table set before it. You put my incense[a] and my oil[b] on this table.
42 “The noise in Jerusalem sounded like a crowd of people having a party.[c] Many people came to the party. People were already drinking as they came in from the desert. They gave bracelets and beautiful crowns to the women. 43 Then I spoke to one of the women who was worn out from her sexual sins. I asked her, ‘Will they continue to do sexual sins with her, and she with them?’

- Ezekiel 23:42 party The Hebrew word is like the word for a fellowship offering, a time when people came to share a meal and enjoy themselves together with the Lord. Here, it seems this time of worship turned into a wild party. See Deut. 14:22-29; 26:1-15.
