Context of Ezekiel 16:23
21That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them? 22And in all thy abominations and thy harlotries thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood. And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, woe, (woe to thee! saith the Lord GOD;) 24That thou hast also built to thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street. 25Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast offered thyself to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy harlotries.
