Ezekiel 16:16-22 New English Translation (NET)

16. You took some of your clothing and made for yourself decorated high places; you engaged in prostitution on them. You went to him to become his.

17. You also took your beautiful jewelry, made of my gold and my silver I had given to you, and made for yourself male images and engaged in prostitution with them.

18. You took your embroidered clothing and used it to cover them; you offered my olive oil and my incense to them.

19. As for my food that I gave you – the fine flour, olive oil, and honey I fed you – you placed it before them as a soothing aroma. That is exactly what happened, declares the sovereign Lord.

20. “‘You took your sons and your daughters whom you bore to me and you sacrificed them as food for the idols to eat. As if your prostitution not enough,

21. you slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.

22. And with all your abominable practices and prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, kicking around in your blood.
