New International Version

Ezekiel 16:21-31 New International Version (NIV)

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

22. In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood.

23. “ ‘Woe! Woe to you, declares the Sovereign Lord. In addition to all your other wickedness,

24. you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine in every public square.

25. At every street corner you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.

26. You engaged in prostitution with the Egyptians, your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger with your increasing promiscuity.

27. So I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were shocked by your lewd conduct.

28. You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.

29. Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia, a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.

30. “ ‘I am filled with fury against you, declares the Sovereign Lord, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute!

31. When you built your mounds at every street corner and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
