Ezekiel 16:23-35
23And it is comeH1961 to passH1961 afterH310 allH3605 thy wickednessH7451, (woeH188, woeH188 unto thee! saith the LordH136 GODH136,)
24that thou hast builtH1129 unto thee an eminent placeH7413, and hast madeH6213 thee a lofty placeH7413 in everyH3605 streetH7339.
25Thou hast builtH1129 thy lofty placeH7413 at everyH3605 headH7218 of the wayH1870, and hast madeH3605 thy beautyH3308 an abomination, and hast opened thy feetH7272 to everyH3605 one that passedH5674 by, and multipliedH7235 thy whoredom.
26Thou hast also committed fornication with the EgyptiansH4714, thy neighbours, great of fleshH1320; and hast multipliedH7235 thy whoredom, to provokeH3707 meH413 to angerH3707.
27BeholdH2009 therefore, I have stretchedH5186 outH5186 my handH3027 over thee, and have diminishedH1639 thine ordinary foodH2706, and deliveredH5414 thee unto the will of them that hateH8130 thee, the daughtersH1323 of the PhilistinesH6430, which are ashamedH3637 of thy lewdH2154 wayH1870.
28Thou hast playedH2181 the harlotH2181 also with the Assyrians, becauseH413 thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with them, and yet thou wast notH3808 satisfiedH7646.
29Thou hast moreoverH1571 multipliedH7235 thy whoredom in the landH776 of CanaanH3667, unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast notH3808 satisfiedH7646 herewith.
30HowH4100 weakH3605 is thine heartH3826, saith the LordH136 GODH136, seeing thou doest allH3605 theseH428 things, the workH4639 of an imperious whorish womanH802;
31in that thou buildest thine eminent placeH1961 in the headH7218 of everyH3605 wayH1870, and makest thy lofty placeH1961 in everyH3605 streetH1870; and hast notH3808 been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornest hireH868.
32A wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003! that taketh strangersH2114 insteadH8478 of herH3947 husbandH376!
33They giveH5414 giftsH5083 to allH3605 harlotsH2181: but thou gavest thy giftsH5083 to allH3605 thy loversH157, and bribest them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on everyH3605 sideH5439 for thy whoredoms.
34And the contrary is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredoms, in that noneH3808 followeth thee to commitH5414 whoredom: and whereas thou givest hireH868, and noH3808 hireH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
35Wherefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
