Ezekiel 16:15–38

15 But 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. 16 And 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. 17 Thou 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, 18 And tookest ethy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and pthou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them. 19 qMy 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. 20 Moreover 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, 21 That thou hast slain rmy children, and delivered them sto cause them to pass through uthe fire for them? 22 And 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. 23 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord God;) 24 That thou hast also built unto thee an ||eminent place, and yhast made thee an high place in every street. 25 Thou 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. 26 aThou hast also committed fornication with cthe Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and bhast increased thy whoredoms, dto provoke me to anger. 27 Behold, 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. 28 aThou 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. 29 abThou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of iCanaan unto jChaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith. 30 How 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; 32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers oinstead of her husband! 33 They 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. 34 And 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.

35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord: 36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy qfilthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by rthe blood of thy children, rwhich thou didst give unto them; 37 Behold, therefore sI will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, twith all them that thou hast hated; sI will even gather them round about against thee, and ttwill discover thy nakedness unto them, that uthey may see all thy nakedness. 38 And uuI will judge thee, as vwwomen that break wedlock and rvxshed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
