Ezekiel 16:15-22
15“But you 1trustedH982 in your beautyH3308 and 2becameH2181 unfaithfulH2181 becauseH5921 of your fameH8034, and you pouredH8210 outH8210 your 3obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 on everyH3605 passer-byH5674 to whom it might be tempting. 16You tookH3947 someH4480 of your clothesH899, madeH6213 for yourself 4highH1116 placesH1116 of variousH2921 colorsH2921, and committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 on them, which should not comeH935 aboutH935 norH3808 happenH1961. 17You also tookH3947 your beautifulH8597 56jewelsH3627 made of My goldH2091 and of My silverH3701, whichH834 I had givenH5414 you, and madeH6213 for yourself maleH2145 imagesH6754 so that you might commitH2181 prostitutionH2181 with them. 18Then you tookH3947 your colorfullyH7553 wovenH7553 clothH899 and coveredH3680 them, and offeredH5414 My oilH8081 and My incenseH7004 beforeH6440 them. 19Also 7My breadH3899 whichH834 I gaveH5414 you, fineH5560 flourH5560, oilH8081, and honeyH1706 with which I fedH398 you, 8you would offerH5414 beforeH6440 them for a soothingH5207 aromaH7381; so it happenedH1961,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068. 20“Furthermore, you tookH3947 your sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323 whomH834 you had borneH3205 to 9Me and 10sacrificedH2076 them to 11idols to be devouredH398. Were your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 a trivialH4592 matter? 21You slaughteredH7819 12My childrenH1121 and offeredH5414 them to 13idols by 14making them passH5674 throughH5674 the fire. 22And besidesH854 allH3605 your abominationsH8441 and obsceneH8457 practicesH8457, you did not rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of 15your youthH5271, when you were nakedH5903 and bareH6181 and squirmingH947 in your bloodH1818.
