Ezekiel 16:13-16

13So you were adorned with 1gold and silver, and your dress was of fine linen, silk, and colorfully woven cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil; so you were exceedingly beautiful and advanced to 2royalty. 14Then your 3fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was 4perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you,” declares the Lord God.

15“But you 5trusted in your beauty and 6became unfaithful because of your fame, and you poured out your 7obscene practices on every passer-by to whom it might be tempting. 16You took some of your clothes, made for yourself 8high places of various colors, and committed prostitution on them, which should not come about nor happen.
