Ezekiel 16:23-35

23“Then it came about after all your wickedness (‘Woe, woe to you!’ declares the Lord God), 24that you built yourself a 1shrine and made yourself a 2high place in every square. 25You built yourself a high place at the top of 3every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry. 26You also played the harlot with the Egyptians, your 4lustful neighbors, and multiplied your harlotry to 5make Me angry. 27Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the 6daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct. 28Moreover, you played the harlot with the 7Assyrians because you were not satisfied; you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied. 29You also multiplied your harlotry with the land of merchants, Chaldea, yet even with this you were not satisfied.”’”

30“How 8languishing is your heart,” declares the Lord God, “while you do all these things, the actions of a 910bold-faced harlot. 31When you built your shrine at the beginning of every street and made your high place in every square, in 11disdaining money, you were not like a harlot. 32You adulteress wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband! 3312Men give gifts to all harlots, but you 13give your gifts to all your lovers to bribe them to come to you from every direction for your harlotries. 34Thus you are different from those women in your harlotries, in that no one plays the harlot 14as you do, because you give money and no money is given you; thus you are different.”

35Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.
