Context Readings

Idolatry Is Adultery

1 The upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace. 2 They are at rest in their last resting-places, every one going straight before him. 3 But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.
