18 Then you took your colorfully woven cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them. 19 Also (A)My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey with which I fed you, [a]you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened,” declares the Lord God. 20 “Furthermore, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to (B)Me and (C)sacrificed them to [b]idols to be devoured. Were your obscene practices a trivial matter? 21 You slaughtered (D)My children and offered them to [c]idols by (E)making them pass through the fire. 22 And besides all your abominations and obscene practices, you did not remember the days of (F)your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.

23 “Then it came about after all your wickedness (‘Woe, woe to you!’ declares the Lord God), 24 that you built yourself a (G)shrine and made yourself a (H)high place in every public square.
