Ezekiel 16:16-29
16You tookH3947 some of your garmentsH899 and madeH6213 colorfulH2921 high placesH1116 for yourself, and on themH5921 you prostituted yourselfH2181. Such things should notH3808 have happenedH935; never shouldH3808 they have occurredH1961!
17You also tookH3947 the fineH8597 jewelryH3627 of goldH2091 and silverH3701 I had givenH5414 you, and you madeH6213 maleH2145 idolsH6754 with which to prostitute yourselfH2181. 18You tookH3947 your embroideredH7553 garmentsH899 to cover themH3680, and you setH5414 My oilH8081 and incenseH7004 before themH6440. 19And you setH5414 before themH6440 as a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 the foodH3899 I had given youH5414—the fine flourH5560, oilH8081, and honeyH1706 that I had fed youH398. That is what happenedH1961, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
20You even tookH3947 the sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 you boreH3205 to Me and sacrificedH2076 them as food to idolsH398. Was your prostitutionH8457 not enoughH4592? 21You slaughteredH7819 My childrenH1121 and delivered them upH5414 through the fireH5674 to idols.
22AndH853 in allH3605 your abominationsH8441 and acts of prostitutionH8457, you did notH3808 rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of your youthH5271 when you wereH1961 nakedH5903 and bareH6181, wallowingH947 in your own bloodH1818H1961.
23WoeH188! WoeH188 to you, declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. AndH1961 in addition toH310 allH3605 your other wickednessH7451, 24you builtH1129 yourself a moundH1354 and madeH6213 yourself a lofty shrineH7413 in everyH3605 public squareH7339. 25AtH413 the headH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 you builtH1129 your lofty shrinesH7413 and degradedH8581 your beautyH3308. With increasingH7235 promiscuityH8457, you spreadH6589 your legsH7272 to allH3605 who passed byH5674. 26You prostituted yourselfH2181 withH413 your lustfulH1432H1320 neighborsH7934, the EgyptiansH4714, and increasedH7235 your promiscuityH8457 to provoke Me to angerH3707.
27ThereforeH2009 I stretched outH5186 My handH3027 against youH5921 and reducedH1639 your portionH2706. I gave you overH5414 to the desireH5315 of those who hate youH8130, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who were ashamedH3637 of your lewdH2154 conductH1870. 28Then you prostituted yourselfH2181 withH413 the AssyriansH804H1121, because you were not yetH1115 satisfiedH7646. Even afterH2181 that, you were stillH1571 notH3808 satisfiedH7654. 29So you extendedH7235 your promiscuityH8457 toH413 ChaldeaH3778,1 the landH776 of merchantsH3667—but evenH1571 with thisH2063 you were notH3808 satisfiedH7646!
