New Testament

Ezekiel 16:25-31 English Standard Version (ESV)

25. At the head of every street you built your lofty place and made your beauty an abomination, offering yourself to any passerby and multiplying your whoring.

26. You also played the whore with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, multiplying your whoring, to provoke me to anger.

27. Behold, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you and diminished your allotted portion and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.

28. You played the whore also with the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied; yes, you played the whore with them, and still you were not satisfied.

29. You multiplied your whoring also with the trading land of Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied.

30. “How sick is your heart, declares the Lord God, because you did all these things, the deeds of a brazen prostitute,

31. building your vaulted chamber at the head of every street, and making your lofty place in every square. Yet you were not like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
