Ezekiel 16:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work: thou didst eat fine flour, and honey and oil, and thou wast very beautiful, and thou didst grow up into a kingdom.
14 And thy name was spread among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my [a]beauty which I had set upon thee, saith the Lord God.
15 Now thou didst [b]trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot, because of thy renown, and hast poured out [c]thy fornications on everyone that passed by, thy desire was to him.
