Ezekiel 16:17-22

17You also took your beautiful 12jewels 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 3My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, 4you 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 5Me and 6sacrificed them to 7idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter? 21You slaughtered 8My children and offered them up to 9idols by 10causing them to pass through the fire. 22Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of 11your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.
