13So you were adorned with gold and silver,j and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became extremely beautiful and attained royalty. 14Your fame spread among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through my splendor,k which I had bestowed on you. This is the declaration of the Lord God.

15“ ‘But you trusted in your beauty and acted like a prostitute because of your fame.l You lavished your sexual favors on everyone who passed by.m Your beauty became his.A 16You took some of your clothing and made colorful high places for yourself, and you engaged in prostitution on them. These places should not have been built, and this should never have happened!A 17You also took your beautiful jewelry made from the gold and silver I had given you, and you made male images so that you could engage in prostitution with them.n 18Then you took your embroidered clothing to cover them and set my oil and incense before them. 19The food that I gave you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I fed you—you set it before them as a pleasing aroma.o That is what happened. This is the declaration of the Lord God.
