Ezekiel 16:11-21
11And I decked thee with ornamentsH5716, and I putH5414 braceletsH6781 upon thy handsH3027, and a chainH7242 on thy neckH1627. 12And I putH5414 a ringH5141 upon thy noseH639, and ear-rings in thine earsH241, and a beautiful crownH5850 upon thy headH7218. 13Thus wast thou decked with goldH2091 and silverH3701; and thy raiment was of fineH5560 linenH8336, and silkH4897, and broidered work; thou didst eatH398 fineH5560 flourH5560, and honeyH1706, and oilH8081; and thou wast exceeding beautifulH3302, and thou didst prosperH6743 unto royal estate. 14And thy renown wentH3318 forthH3318 among the nationsH1471 for thy beautyH3308; for it was perfectH3632, through my majestyH1926 which I had putH7760 upon thee, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.
15But thou didst trustH982 in thy beautyH3308, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy whoredoms on every one that passedH5674 by; his it was. 16And thou didst takeH3947 of thy garmentsH899, and madest for thee highH1116 placesH1116 decked with divers colors, and playedst the harlot upon them: the like things shall not comeH935, neither shall it beH1961 so. 17Thou didst also takeH3947 thy fair jewels of my goldH2091 and of my silverH3701, which I had givenH5414 thee, and madest for thee imagesH6754 of men, and didst playH2181 the harlot with them; 18and thou tookest thy broidered garmentsH899, and coveredst them, and didst setH5414 mine oilH8081 and mine incenseH7004 before them. 19My breadH3899 also which I gaveH5414 thee, fineH5560 flourH5560, and oilH8081, and honeyH1706, wherewith I fed thee, thou didst even setH5414 it before them for a sweet savor; and thus it wasH1961, saith the LordH136 Jehovah. 20Moreover thou hast takenH3947 thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323, whom thou hast borneH3205 unto me, and these hast thou sacrificedH2076 unto them to be devouredH398. Were thy whoredoms a smallH4592 matter, 21that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to passH5674 through the fire unto them?
