Ezekiel 16:31-33
New English Translation
31 When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment.[a]
32 “‘Adulterous wife, who prefers strangers instead of her own husband! 33 All prostitutes receive payment,[b] but instead you give gifts to every one of your lovers. You bribe them to come to you from all around for your sexual favors!
