Ezekiel 16:23-34 - Jerusalem's Life As A Prostitute

23 Woe, woe to you says the Lord Jehovah! For it happened after all your evil, 24 that you have also built yourself a mound, and you have made yourself a high place in every street. 25 You have built your high place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty to be despised, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and have multiplied your fornications. 26 You have also whored with the Egyptians, your neighbors great of flesh, and have multiplied your fornications to provoke Me to anger.

27 And, behold, therefore I have stretched out My hand over you, and drew back your portion. And I gave you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your wicked way. 28 You have whored with the Assyrians, without your being satisfied; yea, you whored and yet you were not satisfied. 29 And your whoredom is idolatry in the land of Canaan, to the Chaldean, and yet you were not satisfied with this.

30 How weak is your heart, says the Lord Jehovah, since you do all these, the work of a woman, an overbearing harlot; 31 in that you build your mound at the head of every way, and make your high place in every street. Yet you have not been as a harlot, scorning wages. 32 Like the adulterous wife, instead of her husband, she takes strangers. 33 They give a gift to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them to come to you from all around, for your fornication. 34 And in you was the opposite from those women in your fornications, since no one whores after you, and in your giving wages, and hire is not given to you. In this you are opposite.
