Ezekiel 16:23-34

23“Then it cameH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 allH3605 your wickednessH7463 (‘WoeH188, woeH188 to you!’ declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068), 24that you builtH1129 yourself a 1shrineH1354 and madeH6213 yourself a 2highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 publicH7339 squareH7339. 25You builtH1129 yourself a highH7413 placeH7413 at the beginningH7218 of 3everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH8581 your beautyH3308 abominableH8581, and you spreadH6589 your legsH7272 to everyH3605 passer-byH5674 and multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457. 26You also committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with the EgyptiansH1121H4714, your 4lustfulH1320H1432 neighborsH7934, and multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457 to 5provokeH3707 Me toH3707 angerH3707. 27So beholdH2009, I have stretchedH5186 outH5186 My handH3027 againstH5921 you and cutH1639 backH1639 your rationsH2706. And I turnedH5414 you overH5414 to the desireH5315 of those who hateH8130 you, the 6daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, who are ashamedH3637 of your outrageousH2154 conductH1870. 28Moreover, you committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with the 7AssyriansH1121H804 becauseH4480 you were not satisfiedH7654; you committedH2181 prostitutionH2181 with them and stillH1571 wereH7646 not satisfiedH7646. 29You also multipliedH7235 your obsceneH8457 practiceH8457 with the landH776 of merchantsH3667, ChaldeaH3778; yet evenH1571 with thisH2088 you wereH7646 not satisfiedH7646.”’”

30“HowH4100 8feverishH535 is your heartH3826,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “while you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, the actionH4639 of a 910boldH7989 prostituteH802H2181! 31When you builtH1129 your shrineH1354 at the beginningH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH6213 your highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 publicH7339 squareH7339, in 11spurningH7046 a prostitute’sH868 feeH868, you were not like a prostituteH2181. 32You adulteressH5003 wifeH802, who takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 ofH8478 her husbandH376! 33Men giveH5414 giftsH5078 to allH3605 prostitutesH2181, but you 12giveH5414 your giftsH5083 to allH3605 your loversH157 and lavishH7809 favorsH7809 on them so that they will comeH935 to you from everyH5439 directionH5439 for your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457. 34So it is the oppositeH2016 for you from those womenH802 in your obsceneH8457 practicesH8457, in that you are not approachedH2181H310 forH2181 prostitutionH2181, and in the fact that you payH5414 a prostitute’sH868 feeH868, and noH3808 feeH868 is paidH5414 to you; so you are the oppositeH2016.”
