Context of Ezekiel 16:23
21that thou hast slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire unto them? 22And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast weltering in thy blood. And it is come to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD,) 24that thou hast built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee a lofty place in every street. 25Thou hast built thy lofty place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty an abomination, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredom.
