Ezekiel 16:25-27

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁵ at the head of every street you built your lofty place and prostituted your beauty, offering yourself^[a] to every passer-by and multiplying your prostitution.^{(A) 26} You prostituted yourself with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors,^[b] multiplying your prostitution, to provoke me to anger.^{(B) 27} Therefore I stretched out my hand against you, reduced your rations, and gave you up to the will of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.^(C)
