Ezekiel 16:24-32 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

24. you built yourself a platform and raised up a dais in every public place.

25. At every intersection you built yourself a dais so that you could degrade your beauty by spreading your legs for every passerby, multiplying your prostitutions.

26. You served as a prostitute with the Egyptians, your big-membered neighbors, and multiplied your prostitutions to provoke me.

27. Therefore I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your allotment, and delivered you over to the whim of your enemies, the Philistines, who were revolted by your depraved conduct.

28. You also served as a prostitute for the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied. Even after serving as a prostitute for them, you were still not satisfied.

29. You increased your prostitutions again, now going to Chaldea, the land of traders; but despite this, you were still not satisfied.

30. How wild your lust!—oracle of the Lord God—that you did all these works of a shameless prostitute,

31. when you built your platform at every intersection and set up your high place in every public square. But unlike a prostitute, you disdained payment.

32. Adulterous wife, taking strangers in place of her husband!
