Ezekiel 16:10-19

New King James Version

¹⁰ I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of ^[a]badger skin; I clothed you with fine linen and covered you with silk. ¹¹ I adorned you with ornaments, ^(A)put bracelets on your wrists, ^(B)and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a ^[b]jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. ^(C)You ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly ^(D)beautiful, and succeeded to royalty. ^14 (E)Your fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.

Jerusalem’s Harlotry

^15 (F)“But you trusted in your own beauty, ^(G)played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it. ^16 (H)You took some of your garments and adorned multicolored ^[c]high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be. ¹⁷ You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them. ¹⁸ You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them. ¹⁹ Also ^(I)My food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as ^[d]sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God.
