Ezekiel 16:28-35

28Then you engaged in prostitution with the Assyrian men because you were not satisfied. Even though you did this with them, you were still not satisfied.

29So you extended your prostitution to Chaldea, the land of merchants, but you were not even satisfied with this!

30“‘How your heart was inflamed with lust  — the declaration of the Lord God  — when you did all these things, the acts of a brazen prostitute,

31building your mound at the head of every street and making your elevated place in every square. But you were unlike a prostitute because you scorned payment.

32You adulterous wife, who receives strangers instead of her husband!

33Men give gifts to all prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from all around for your sexual favors.

34So you were the opposite of other women in your acts of prostitution; no one solicited you. When you paid a fee instead of one being paid to you, you were the opposite.

35“‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord!
