Bible. Ezekiel
26:016:013 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment
was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst
eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding
beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
26:016:014 And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty:
for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon
thee, saith the Lord GOD.
26:016:015 But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the
harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy
fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
26:016:016 And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high
places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon:
the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
26:016:017 Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my
silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images
of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
26:016:018 And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and
thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
26:016:019 My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and
honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them
for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
26:016:020 Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou
hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them
to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
26:016:021 That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause
them to pass through the fire for them?
26:016:022 And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not
remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and
bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
26:016:023 And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto
thee! saith the LORD GOD;)
26:016:024 That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast
made thee an high place in every street.
26:016:025 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and
hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet
to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
26:016:026 Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy
neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms,
to provoke me to anger.
26:016:027 Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and
have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto
the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the
Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
