Ezekiel 16:23-35
23“Then it cameH1961 about afterH310 allH3605 your wickednessH7463 (‘WoeH188, woeH188 to you!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068), 24that you builtH1129 yourself a 1shrineH1354 and madeH6213 yourself a 2highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 squareH7339. 25You builtH1129 yourself a highH7413 placeH7413 at the topH7218 of 3everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH8581 your beautyH3308 abominableH8581, and you spreadH6589 your legsH7272 to everyH3605 passer-byH5674 to multiplyH7235 your harlotryH8457. 26You also playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the EgyptiansH4714, your 4lustfulH1320H1432 neighborsH7934, and multipliedH7235 your harlotryH8457 to 5makeH3707 Me angryH3707. 27BeholdH2009 now, I have stretchedH5186 out My handH3027 againstH5921 you and diminishedH1639 your rationsH2706. And I deliveredH5414 you up to the desireH5315 of those who hateH8130 you, the 6daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who are ashamedH3637 of your lewdH2154 conductH1870. 28Moreover, you playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the 7AssyriansH804 becauseH4480 you were not satisfiedH7654; you playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with them and stillH1571 were not satisfiedH7646. 29You also multipliedH7235 your harlotryH8457 with the landH776 of merchantsH3667, ChaldeaH3778, yet evenH1571 with thisH2088 you were not satisfiedH7646.”’”
30“HowH4100 8languishingH535 is your heartH3826,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “while you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, the actionsH4639 of a 910bold-facedH7989 harlotH2181. 31When you builtH1129 your shrineH1354 at the beginningH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH6213 your highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 squareH7339, in 11disdainingH7046 moneyH868, you were not like a harlotH2181. 32You adulteressH5003 wifeH802, who takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 of her husbandH376! 3312Men giveH5414 giftsH5078 to allH3605 harlotsH2181, but you 13giveH5414 your giftsH5083 to allH3605 your loversH157 to bribeH7809 them to comeH935 to you from everyH5439 directionH5439 for your harlotriesH8457. 34Thus you are differentH2016 from those womenH802 in your harlotriesH8457, in that noH3808 one playsH2181 the harlotH2181 14as you do, because you giveH5414 moneyH868 and noH3808 moneyH868 is givenH5414 you; thus you are differentH2016.”
35ThereforeH3651, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.
