New International Version
20 “‘And you took your sons and daughters(A) whom you bore to me(B) and sacrificed them as food to the idols.

23 “‘Woe!(H) Woe to you, declares the Sovereign Lord. In addition to all your other wickedness, 24 you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine(I) in every public square.(J) 25 At every street corner(K) you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.(L) 26 You engaged in prostitution(M) with the Egyptians,(N) your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger(O) with your increasing promiscuity.(P)

Ezekiel 16:20-26
King James Version
20 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
21 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
22 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord God;)
24 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
26 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.

New King James Version
20 (A)“Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter, 21 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the (B)fire? 22 And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your (C)youth, (D)when you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood.
23 “Then it was so, after all your wickedness—‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God— 24 that (E)you also built for yourself a shrine, and (F)made a [a]high place for yourself in every street. 25 You built your high places (G)at the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry. 26 You also committed harlotry with (H)the Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to (I)provoke Me to anger.
