## Ezekiel 16:16-21 in Context (Verses 13–24 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/13) 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/15) ¶ 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/16) 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*.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/17) 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,*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/18) And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/19) 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.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/20) 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,*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/21) That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through *the fire* for them?
 
 [22 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/22) 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.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/23) And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the Lord GOD;)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/24) *That* thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.*
 
[Ezekiel 15](/kjv/ezekiel/15) [Ezekiel 17](/kjv/ezekiel/17)
