Ezekiel 16:10-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

10. I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11. And I adorned you with ornaments and put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck.

12. And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

13. Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour and honey and oil. You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty.

14. And your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord God.

15. “But you trusted in your beauty and played the whore because of your renown and lavished your whorings on any passerby; your beauty became his.

16. You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be.

17. You also took your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore.

18. And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, and set my oil and my incense before them.
