Were your obscene practices not enough? 21You slaughtered My children, making them pass through fire for them. In all your abominations and harlotry, you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood. 23So it was after all your wickedness—oy, oy to you!” It is a declaration of Adonai. 24“Then you built a mound for yourself. You made a high place for yourself in every square.
