Ezekiel 16:35-43

Christian Standard Bible

³⁵ “‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord! ³⁶ This is what the Lord God says: Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness exposed by your acts of prostitution with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols and the blood of your children that you gave to them,^{(A) 37} I am therefore going to gather all the lovers you pleased^(B)—all those you loved as well as all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose your nakedness^(C) to them so they see you completely naked. ³⁸ I will judge you the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged.^(D) Then I will bring about the shedding of your blood in jealous wrath.^{(E) 39} I will hand you over to them, and they will demolish your mounds and tear down your elevated places. They will strip off your clothes,^(F) take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked. ⁴⁰ They will bring a mob against you^(G) to stone you and to cut you to pieces with their swords. ⁴¹ They will burn your houses and execute judgments against you in the sight of many women. I will stop you from being a prostitute,^(H) and you will never again pay fees for lovers. ⁴² So I will satisfy my wrath against you,^(I) and my jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry. ⁴³ Because you did not remember the days^(J) of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will also bring your conduct down on your own head.^(K) This is the declaration of the Lord God. Haven’t you committed depravity in addition to all your detestable practices?
