Ezekiel 16:23-34 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

23. And it came to pass after all your wickedness, (woe, woe unto you! says the Lord GOD;)

24. That you have also built unto you an eminent place, and have made yourself a high place in every street.

25. You have built your high place at the head of every street, and have made your beauty to be abhorred, and have offered yourself to everyone that passed by, and multiplied your harlotries.

26. You have also played the harlot with the Egyptians your neighbors, strong in lust; and have increased your harlotries, to provoke me to anger.

27. Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your allowance of food, and delivered you unto the will of them that hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.

28. You have played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yea, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.

29. You have moreover multiplied your harlotry with trading in the land of Chaldea; and yet you were not satisfied with this.

30. How weak is your heart, says the Lord GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of a brazen harlot;

31. In that you build your shrine at the head of every street, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as a harlot, in that you scorned payment;

32. But as a wife that commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband!

33. They give gifts to all harlots: but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come unto you on every side for your harlotry.

34. And you are different from other women in your harlotries, therefore none follows you to commit harlotries: and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given unto you, therefore you are different.
