16. You took your garments, made high places decked out with various colors and fornicated on them—this should not happen, it should not be!
17. You also took your jewelry—My gold and My silver, which I gave you—made male images for yourself and committed harlotry with them.
18. You took your embroidered garments, covered them and placed My oil and My incense before them.
19. My bread that I gave you, fine flour, oil and honey that I fed you with, you set before them as a sweet aroma. That is what happened.” It is a declaration of Adonai.
20. “You took your sons and your daughters whom you bore for Me, and sacrificed them to be eaten by them. Were your obscene practices not enough?
21. You slaughtered My children, making them pass through fire for them.
22. In all your abominations and harlotry, you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, kicking about in your blood.
23. So it was after all your wickedness—oy, oy to you!” It is a declaration of Adonai.
24. “Then you built a mound for yourself. You made a high place for yourself in every square.
25. You built your lofty place at the head of every street. You made your beauty an abomination. You spread your legs for everyone passing by and multiplied your harlotry.
26. You committed immorality with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors. You multiplied your prostitution, to provoke Me.
27. “So behold, I stretched out My hand over you. I diminished your ration. I gave you over to those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your indecent conduct.
28. Then you also played the harlot with the Assyrians, never being satisfied; you played the harlot with them, and still you were not satisfied.
29. So you multiplied your harlotry toward the land of merchants—Chaldea—yet even with this, you were not satisfied.
