Ezekiel 16:15-22
15“But you 1trusted in your beauty and 2played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by 3who might be willing. 16You took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors and played the harlot on them, 4which should never come about nor happen. 17You also took your beautiful 56jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them. 18Then you took your embroidered cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them. 19Also 7My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, 8you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened,” declares the Lord God. 20“Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to 9Me and 10sacrificed them to 11idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter? 21You slaughtered 12My children and offered them up to 13idols by 14causing them to pass through the fire. 22Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of 15your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.
