^16:17You also took your beautiful jewelry, made of my gold and my silver I had given to you, and made for yourself male images and engaged in prostitution¹⁴ with them. ^16:18You took your embroidered clothing and used it to cover them; you offered my olive oil and my incense to them. ^16:19As for my food that I gave you—the fine flour, olive oil, and honey I fed you—you placed it before them as a soothing aroma. That is exactly what happened, declares the sovereign Lord.
