36 The Lord said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then confront them with their detestable practices, 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. 38 They have also done this to me: At that same time they defiled my sanctuary and desecrated my Sabbaths. 39 On the very day they sacrificed their children to their idols, they entered my sanctuary and desecrated it. That is what they did in my house.

I'm on my Nth read through the Bible, and for some reason, the viciousness of God toward Israel, in response to their sin, as recorded in the book of Ezekiel, hadn't stood out to me before. Perhaps it is because the evils of the U.S. stand out so prominently now that it didn't sink in before. I guess the verse about sacrificing children as food for their idols really hit me this time.
