Ezekiel 16:17

Jerusalem’s Unfaithfulness

16You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!17You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.18You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
