Ezekiel 16:28-37 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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.

35. Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:

36. Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your harlotries with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you did give unto them;

37. Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all them that you have loved, with all them that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will uncover your nakedness unto them, that they may see all your nakedness.
