Ezekiel 16 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
23 And it chanced after all thy malice (woe, woe to thee, saith our Lord God)
24 thou didst also build thee a stews, & madest thee a brothel house in all streets.
25 At every head of the way hast thou built a sign of thy prostitution: & hast made thy beauty abominable: & hast divided thy feet to every one that passeth by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.
26 And thou hast fornicated with the children of AEgypt thy neighbours of great flesh, & hast multiplied thy fornication to provoke me.
27 Behold I will stretch out my hand upon thee, & will take away thy justification: & I will give thee into the souls of the daughters of Palestine that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way.
28 And thou hast committed fornication with the sons of the Assyrians, because neither as yet wast thou filled: & after thou didst fornicate, neither so wast thou satiated.
29 And thou didst multiply thy fornication in the Land of Chanaan with the Chaldees: & neither so wast thou satiated.
30 Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith our Lord God: whereas thou doest all these the works of a woman that is a whore, & malapert?
31 Because thou hast built thy brothel house in the head of every way, & thy excels thou hast made in every street, neither becamest thou as an harlot that by disdain augmenteth the price,
32 but as a woman adulteress, that over her husband bringeth in strangers.
33 To all harlots are rewards given: but thou hast given rewards to all thy lovers, & thou didst give them gifts to come unto thee on every side, to fornicate with thee.
34 And in thee it was done contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, it hath been done contrary in thee.
Judgment on Jerusalem
35 Therefore hear, o harlot, the word of our Lord.
