Ezekiel 16:15

And you trust in your beauty, || And go whoring because of your renown, || And pour out your whoredoms on everyone passing by—to him [that would have] it.

Literal Standard Version

In The King James Version

But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.

In Context

14And your name goes forth among nations, || Because of your beauty—for it [is] complete, || In My honor that I have set on you, || A declaration of Lord YHWH.

16And you take from your garments, || And make spotted high-places for yourself, || And go whoring on them, || They are not coming in—nor will it be!
