Ezekiel 16:23

Verse 23 of 63. The 16th of 48 chapters in Ezekiel, in The Major Prophets.

19My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and so it was,” says the Lord GOD.

20“‘“Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,

21that you have slain my children and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?

22In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.

23“‘“It has happened after all your wickedness—woe, woe to you!” says the Lord GOD—

24“that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.

25You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.

26You have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.

27See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your portion, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
