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 so that you might commit prostitution with them. 18Then you took your colorfully woven 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“Furthermore, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to 5Me and 6sacrificed them to 7idols to be devoured. Were your obscene practices a trivial matter? 21You slaughtered 8My children and offered them to 9idols by 10making them pass through the fire. 22And besides all your abominations and obscene practices, you did not remember the days of 11your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.
