New Living Translation (NLT)
Ezekiel 16
21 Must you also slaughter my children by sacrificing them to idols?
22 In all your years of adultery and detestable sin, you have not once remembered the days long ago when you lay naked in a field, kicking about in your own blood.
23 “What sorrow awaits you, says the Sovereign LORD. In addition to all your other wickedness,
24 you built a pagan shrine and put altars to idols in every town square.
25 On every street corner you defiled your beauty, offering your body to every passerby in an endless stream of prostitution.
26 Then you added lustful Egypt to your lovers, provoking my anger with your increasing promiscuity.
27 That is why I struck you with my fist and reduced your boundaries. I handed you over to your enemies, the Philistines, and even they were shocked by your lewd conduct.
28 You have prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, too. It seems you can never find enough new lovers! And after your prostitution there, you still were not satisfied.
29 You added to your lovers by embracing Babylonia, the land of merchants, but you still weren’t satisfied.
30 “What a sick heart you have, says the Sovereign LORD, to do such things as these, acting like a shameless prostitute.
31 You build your pagan shrines on every street corner and your altars to idols in every square. In fact, you have been worse than a prostitute, so eager for sin that you have not even demanded payment.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
