Ezekiel 16:21-30 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

21. You slaughtered my children, so you could offer them as sacrifices.

22. You were so busy sinning and being a prostitute that you refused to think about the days when you were young and were rolling around naked in your own blood.

23. Now I, the Lord God, say you are doomed! Not only did you do these evil things,

24. but you also built places on every street corner

25. where you disgraced yourself by having sex with anyone who walked by. And you did that more and more every day!

26. To make me angry, you even offered yourself to Egyptians, who were always ready to sleep with you.

27. So I punished you by letting those greedy Philistine enemies take over some of your territory. But even they were offended by your disgusting behaviour.

28. You couldn't get enough sex, so you chased after Assyrians and slept with them. You still weren't satisfied,

29. so you went after Babylonians. But those merchants could not satisfy you either.

30. I, the Lord God, say that you were so disgusting that you would have done anything to get what you wanted.
