Ezekiel 16:15-22
English Standard Version
15 (A)“But you trusted in your beauty (B)and played the whore[a] because of your renown (C)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] 17 You also took (D)your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and (E)made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. 18 And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, (F)and set my oil and my incense before them. 19 (G)Also my bread that I gave you—(H)I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for (I)a pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God. 20 (J)And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and (K)these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter 21 that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them? 22 And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember (L)the days of your youth, (M)when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood.
