16. You took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors and played the harlot on them, which should never come about nor happen.
17. You also took your beautiful jewels made of My gold and of My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images that you might play the harlot with them.
18. Then you took your embroidered cloth and covered them, and offered My oil and My incense before them.
19. Also My bread which I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey with which I fed you, you would offer before them for a soothing aroma; so it happened," declares the Lord God.
20. "Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me and sacrificed them to idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter?
21. You slaughtered My children and offered them up to idols by causing them to pass through the fire.
22. Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.
23. "Then it came about after all your wickedness ('Woe, woe to you!' declares the Lord God),
24. that you built yourself a shrine and made yourself a high place in every square.
25. You built yourself a high place at the top of every street and made your beauty abominable, and you spread your legs to every passer-by to multiply your harlotry.
