Ezekiel 16:35-43
35Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord. 36This is what the Lord God says: “Because your lewdness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered through your obscene practices with your lovers and with all your detestable 1idols, and because of the blood of your sons that you gave to 2idols, 37therefore, behold, I am going to 3gather all your lovers whom you pleased, all those whom you loved as well as all those whom you 4hated. So I will gather them against you from every direction and 5expose your nakedness to them so that they may see all your nakedness. 38So I will 6judge you as women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of 7wrath and jealousy. 39I will also hand you over to 8your lovers, and they will tear down your shrines, demolish your high places, 9strip you of your clothing, take away your 10jewels, and will leave you naked and bare. 40They will 11incite a 12crowd against you, and they will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. 41And they will 13burn your houses with fire and execute judgments against you in the sight of many women. Then I will 14put an end to your prostitution, and you will also no longer pay 15your lovers. 42So I 16will satisfy My fury against you and My jealousy will leave you, and I will be pacified and 17no longer be angry. 43Since you have 18not remembered the days of your youth but 19have 20caused Me unrest by all these things, behold, I in turn will 21bring your conduct down on your own head,” declares the Lord God, “so that you will not commit this outrageous sin in addition to all your other abominations.
