Ezekiel 16:19-21
International Standard Version
19 “Not only that, you took the food I gave you—my fine flour, olive oil, and honey with which I fed you, and you offered[a] them to those gods[b] in order to appease them.[c] That’s exactly what happened,” says the Lord God. 20 “Then you took your sons and daughters whom you bore for me and sacrificed them for your idols to eat. As though your prostitutions were an insignificant thing, 21 you also slaughtered my sons and offered them to idols, incinerating them in fire.[d]
