Ezekiel 16:15–34

¹⁵But thou didst trust ^gin thine own beauty, and ^jplayedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications ^kon every one that passed by; his it was. ¹⁶And of thy garments thou didst take, and ^ldeckedst thy high places ^mwith divers colours, and ^jplayedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so. ¹⁷Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of ⁿmy gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself ^oimages ^†of men, and ^jdidst commit whoredom with them, ¹⁸And tookest ^ethy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and ^pthou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. ^19qMy meat also which I gave thee, ^ffine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for ^†a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord God. ²⁰Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, ^rwhom thou hast borne unto me, and ^sthese hast thou sacrificed unto them ^†to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms ^ta small matter, ²¹That thou hast slain ^rmy children, and delivered them ^sto cause them to pass through ^uthe fire for them? ²²And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered ^vthe days of thy youth, when thou wast ^wnaked and bare, and wast ^xpolluted ^kkin thy blood. ²³And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord God;) ²⁴That thou hast also built unto thee an ^||eminent place, and ^yhast made thee an high place in every street. ²⁵Thou hast built thy high place ^zat every head of the way, and hast made ^gthy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet ^ato every one that passed by, and ^bmultiplied thy whoredoms. ^26aThou hast also committed fornication with ^cthe Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and ^bhast increased thy whoredoms, ^dto provoke me to anger. ²⁷Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and ^ehave diminished ^fthine ordinary food, and ^ffdelivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, ^gthe ^||daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way. ^28aThou hast played the whore also ^hwith the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied. ^29abThou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of ⁱCanaan unto ^jChaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. ³⁰How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman; ^31||lIn that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and ^mmakest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, ⁿin that thou scornest hire; ³²But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers ^oinstead of her husband! ³³They give gifts to all whores: but ^npthou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and ^†hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom. ³⁴And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that ^pthou givest a reward, and ⁿno reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
