## Ezekiel 16:16-22 in Context (Verses 13–25 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.*
 
 [25 ](/kjv/ezekiel/16/25) 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.
 
[Ezekiel 15](/kjv/ezekiel/15) [Ezekiel 17](/kjv/ezekiel/17)
