Ezekiel 16

15 Ref But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

16 Ref And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

17 Ref And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

18 And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

19 Ref And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

20 Ref And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

21 Ref That you put my children to death and gave them up to go through the fire to them?

22 Ref And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

23 Ref And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

24 Ref That you made for yourself an arched room in every open place.

25 Ref You put up your high places at the top of every street, and made the grace of your form a disgusting thing, opening your feet to everyone who went by, increasing your loose ways.

26 Ref And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.
