Ezekiel 16:21-30 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

21. You slaughtered my sons and then passed them through the fire to those false gods.

22. You left me and did all those terrible things. You never remembered what happened when you were young. You did not remember that you were naked and kicking in blood when I found you.

23. “After all these evil things, … it will be very bad for you!” The Lord GOD said all these things.

24. “After all those things, you made a mound for worshiping that false god. You built those places for worshiping false gods on every street corner.

25. You built your mounds at the head of every road. Then you degraded your beauty. You used it to catch every man who walked by. You raised your skirt so that they could see your legs, and you acted like a prostitute with those men.

26. Then you went to Egypt, your neighbor that is always ready for sex. With more and more sexual sin, you made me angry.

27. So I punished you! I took away part of your land. I let your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, do what they wanted to you. Even they were shocked at the evil things you did.

28. Then you went to have sex with Assyria. You could not get enough. You were never satisfied.

29. So you turned to Canaan, and then to Babylonia, and still you were not satisfied.

30. You are so weak. You let all those men cause you to sin. You acted just like a prostitute who wants to be the one in control.” This is what the Lord GOD said.
