Ezekiel 16:17-22

17You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore.

18And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, and set my oil and my incense before them.

19Also my bread that I gave you—I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for a pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God.

20And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter

21that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them?

22And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood.
