Ezekiel 16:15-17
International Standard Version
Jerusalem’s Arrogant Unfaithfulness
15 “But you trusted in your beauty. You did what whores do, as a result of your fame. You passed out your sexual favors[a] to anyone who passed by, giving yourself to anyone. 16 You took some of your clothes and made gaily-colored high places and prostituted yourself all around them—something which had never happened before nor will ever happen again.
17 “You also took your fine jewelry—including my gold and my silver that I had given you. Then you made for yourself male images and had sex with them!
