Bible verse
you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.
Ezekiel 16:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Ezekiel 16.
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.
25 At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.
26 You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.
27 Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.
28 Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.
