Bible verse
You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
Ezekiel 16:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 16.
16 You 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!
17 You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.
18 You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.
19 And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.
20 You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?
21 You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.
22 And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.
23 Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,
24 you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
