13You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, rich fabric,s and embroidered cloth. You had choice flour and honey and oil for food. You grew exceedingly beautiful, fit to be a queen.* 14Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of my splendor that I had bestowed on you, says the Lord God.

15But you trusted in your beauty and prostituted yourself because of your fame and lavished your prostitutions on any passer-by.t* 16You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful high places and on them prostituted yourself; nothing like this has ever been or ever shall be.u* 17You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and my silver that I had given you and made for yourself male images and with them prostituted yourself,* 18and you took your embroidered garments to cover them and set my oil and my incense before them. 19Also my bread that I gave you—I fed you with choice flour and oil and honey—you set it before them as a pleasing odor, and so it was, says the Lord God.
