Ezekiel 16:18-25 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. You took your fine garments and clothed them. You set my oil and incense before them.

19. You set my food that I had given you to eat—fine wheat, oil, and honey—before them as a pleasing aroma. This is what the Lord God says.

20. You took your sons and daughters, which you had borne to me, and you sacrificed these to them so they could consume them. Was this promiscuity of yours a small thing?

21. You slaughtered my sons and placed them in the fire for them!

22. In all your detestable practices and promiscuities, you didn’t remember the days of your infancy when you lay completely naked, flailing about in your blood.

23. After all your wickedness—doom, doom to you, proclaims the Lord God—

24. you built a pavilion for yourself and set up platforms in every square.

25. At every crossroad you built your platform and degraded your beauty by spreading your legs to all comers. And so you encouraged even more promiscuity.
