Ezekiel 16:10-19

English Standard Version

^10 (A)I clothed you also with embroidered cloth and shod you with fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.^{[a] 11 (B)}And I adorned you with ornaments and ^(C)put bracelets on your wrists and a chain on your neck. ¹² And I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. ¹³ Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen and silk and embroidered cloth. ^(D)You ate fine flour and honey and oil. ^(E)You grew exceedingly beautiful and advanced to royalty. ¹⁴ And ^(F)your renown went forth among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through the splendor that I had bestowed on you, declares the Lord God.

^15 (G)“But you trusted in your beauty ^(H)and played the whore^[b] because of your renown ^(I)and lavished your whorings^[c] on any passerby; your beauty^[d] became his. ¹⁶ You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be.^{[e] 17} You also took ^(J)your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and ^(K)made for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. ¹⁸ And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, ^(L)and set my oil and my incense before them. ^19 (M)Also my bread that I gave you—^(N)I fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for ^(O)a pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God.
