Ezekiel 16:23-36 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

23. And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord Jehovah),

24. that thou didst also build unto thee a place of debauchery, and didst make thee a high place in every street:

25. thou didst build thy high place at every head of the way, and madest thy beauty to be abhorred, and thou didst open thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiply thy whoredom.

26. And thou didst commit fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and didst multiply thy whoredom to provoke me to anger.

35. Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of Jehovah.

36. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thine abominations, and because of the blood of thy children which thou didst give unto them;
