Ezekiel 16:8-32

8“Then I passedH5674 by you and sawH7200 you, and beholdH2009, 1you were at the timeH6256 for loveH1730; so I 2spreadH6566 My skirtH3671 overH5921 you and coveredH3680 your nakednessH6172. I also 3sworeH7650 to you and 4enteredH935 into a covenantH1285 with you so that you 5becameH1961 Mine,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 9“Then I bathedH7364 you with waterH4325, washedH7857 offH7857 your bloodH1818 from you and 6anointedH5480 you with oilH8081. 10I also clothedH3847 you with 7embroideredH7553 clothH7553 and putH5274 sandalsH5274 of porpoiseH8476 skinH8476 on your feet; and I wrappedH2280 you with fineH8336 linenH8336 and coveredH3680 you with silkH4897. 11I adornedH5710 you with ornamentsH5716, putH5414 8braceletsH6781 on your handsH3027 and a 9necklaceH7242 aroundH5921 your neckH1627. 12I also putH5414 a 10ringH5141 in your nostrilH639, earringsH5694 in your earsH241 and a 11beautifulH8597 crownH5850 on your headH7218. 13Thus you were adornedH5710 with 12goldH2091 and silverH3701, and your dressH4403 was of fineH8336 linenH8336, silkH4897 and embroideredH7553 clothH7553. You ateH398 fineH5560 flourH5560, honeyH1706 and oilH8081; so you were exceedinglyH3966 beautifulH3302 and advancedH6743 to 13royaltyH4410. 14Then your 14fameH8034 wentH3318 forthH3318 among the nationsH1471 on account of your beautyH3308, for it was 15perfectH3632 because of My splendorH1926 whichH834 I bestowedH7760 on you,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068.

15“But you 16trustedH982 in your beautyH3308 and 17playedH2181 the harlotH2181 becauseH5921 of your fameH8034, and you pouredH8210 out your harlotriesH8457 on everyH3605 passer-byH5674 18who might be willing. 16You tookH3947 someH4480 of your clothesH899, madeH6213 for yourself highH1116 placesH1116 of variousH2921 colorsH2921 and playedH2181 the harlotH2181 on them, 19which should neverH3808 comeH935 about norH3808 happenH1961. 17You also tookH3947 your beautifulH8597 2021jewelsH3627 made of My goldH2091 and of My silverH3701, whichH834 I had givenH5414 you, and madeH6213 for yourself maleH2145 imagesH6754 that you might playH2181 the harlotH2181 with them. 18Then you tookH3947 your embroideredH7553 clothH899 and coveredH3680 them, and offeredH5414 My oilH8081 and My incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them. 19Also 22My breadH3899 whichH834 I gaveH5414 you, fineH5560 flourH5560, oilH8081 and honeyH1706 with which I fedH398 you, 23you would offerH5414 beforeH6440 them for a soothingH5207 aromaH7381; so it happenedH1961,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 20“Moreover, you tookH3947 your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 whomH834 you had borneH3205 to 24Me and 25sacrificedH2076 them to 26idols to be devouredH398. Were your harlotriesH8457 soH4592 smallH4592 a matter? 21You slaughteredH7819 27My childrenH1121 and offeredH5414 them up to 28idols by 29causing them to passH5674 throughH5674 the fire. 22BesidesH854 allH3605 your abominationsH8441 and harlotriesH8457 you did not rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of 30your youthH5271, when you were nakedH5903 and bareH6181 and squirmingH947 in your bloodH1818.

23“Then it cameH1961 about afterH310 allH3605 your wickednessH7463 (‘WoeH188, woeH188 to you!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068), 24that you builtH1129 yourself a 31shrineH1354 and madeH6213 yourself a 32highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 squareH7339. 25You builtH1129 yourself a highH7413 placeH7413 at the topH7218 of 33everyH3605 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 34lustfulH1320H1432 neighborsH7934, and multipliedH7235 your harlotryH8457 to 35makeH3707 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 36daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who are ashamedH3637 of your lewdH2154 conductH1870. 28Moreover, you playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the 37AssyriansH804 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 38languishingH535 is your heartH3826,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “while you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, the actionsH4639 of a 3940bold-facedH7989 harlotH2181. 31When you builtH1129 your shrineH1354 at the beginningH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH6213 your highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 squareH7339, in 41disdainingH7046 moneyH868, you were not like a harlotH2181. 32You adulteressH5003 wifeH802, who takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 of her husbandH376!
