Ezekiel 16:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 And thy name was spread among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my [a]beauty which I had set upon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 Now thou didst [b]trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot, because of thy renown, and hast poured out [c]thy fornications on everyone that passed by, thy desire was to him.
16 And thou didst take thy garments, and deckedst thine high places with divers colors, [d]and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither hath any done so.
