Ezekiel 16:28-33 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. Still not satisfied, you prostituted yourself to the Assyrians, but they weren’t enough for you either.

29. So you prostituted yourself with the Babylonians, the land of traders, but again you weren’t satisfied.

30. How sick was your heart—the Lord God proclaims—that you could do all these things, the deeds of a hardened prostitute.

31. But you weren’t like an ordinary prostitute! When you built your pavilion at the head of every street and made your platform in every square, you refused to be paid.

32. You are like an adulterous wife: you take in strangers instead of your husband.

33. Ordinary prostitutes are given gifts, but you gave your gifts to all your lovers. From every direction you even bribed them to come to you for your sexual favors.
