Ezekiel 16:16-22

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? 22And in all thine abominationsH8441 and thy whoredoms thou hast not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of thy youthH5271, when thou wast nakedH5903 and bare, and wast weltering in thy bloodH1818.
