Ezekiel 16:21-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. You slaughtered and immolated my children to them, making them pass through fire.

22. In all your abominations and prostitutions you did not remember the days of your youth when you were stark naked, struggling in your blood.

23. Then after all your evildoing—woe, woe to you! oracle of the Lord God—

24. you built yourself a platform and raised up a dais in every public place.

25. At every intersection you built yourself a dais so that you could degrade your beauty by spreading your legs for every passerby, multiplying your prostitutions.

26. You served as a prostitute with the Egyptians, your big-membered neighbors, and multiplied your prostitutions to provoke me.

27. Therefore I stretched out my hand against you and reduced your allotment, and delivered you over to the whim of your enemies, the Philistines, who were revolted by your depraved conduct.

28. You also served as a prostitute for the Assyrians, because you were not satisfied. Even after serving as a prostitute for them, you were still not satisfied.

29. You increased your prostitutions again, now going to Chaldea, the land of traders; but despite this, you were still not satisfied.
