Ezekiel 16:13-16
English Standard Version
13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. (A)You ate fine flour and honey and oil. (B)You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. 14 And (C)your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord God.
15 (D)“But you trusted in your beauty (E)and played the whore[a] because of your renown (F)and lavished your whorings[b] on any passerby; your beauty[c] became his. 16 You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be.[d]
