Ezekiel 16:15-22

Modern English Version

¹⁵ But you trusted in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your renown, and poured out your fornications on every willing passerby. ¹⁶ Of your garments you took and decked your high places with various colors and played the harlot on them, which should never come about or happen. ¹⁷ You have also taken your fair jewels made of My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men that you might commit harlotry with them. ¹⁸ Then you took your embroidered garments and covered them. And you have set My oil and My incense before them. ¹⁹ My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you have even set before them for a sweet savor. And thus it was, says the Lord God.

²⁰ Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to Me, and these you have sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter? ²¹ You have slain My children and delivered them up to idols by causing them to pass through the fire. ²² Besides all your abominations and your harlotries you have not remembered the days of your youth when you were naked and bare and were polluted in your blood.
