New Testament

Ezekiel 16:20-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. And you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore for me, and you immolated them to be devoured. Is your fornication a small matter?

21. You have immolated my sons, and you have consecrated and delivered my sons to them.

22. And after all your abominations and fornications, you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and full of shame, wallowing in your own blood.

23. And it happened that, after all your wickedness, (woe, woe to you, says the Lord God)

24. you built for yourself a brothel, and you made for yourself a place of prostitution in every street.

25. At the head of every way, you set up a banner of your prostitution. And you caused your beauty to become abominable. And you distributed your feet to every passer-by. And you multiplied your fornications.

26. And you fornicated with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors, who have large bodies. And you multiplied your fornications, so as to provoke me.

27. Behold, I will extend my hand over you, and I will take away your justification. And I will give you to the souls of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your wicked way.

28. You also fornicated with the sons of the Assyrians, for you were not yet done. And after you fornicated, even then, you were not satisfied.
