As God has said: ‘I will dwell in them And Walk among them, I will be their God, And they will be My people.” 2 Cor 6:14-16

11. “Also behind the doors and their posts you have set up your remembrance; for you have yourself to those other than Me, and have gone up to them; you have enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; You have loved their bed where you saw their nudity.” Is 57:8
