Ezekiel 16:13-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
13 You were adorned with gold and silver, while your clothing was of fine linen, rich fabric,[a] and embroidered cloth. You had choice flour and honey and oil for food. You grew exceedingly beautiful, fit to be a queen. 14 Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of my splendour that I had bestowed on you, says the Lord God.
15 But you trusted in your beauty, and played the whore because of your fame, and lavished your whorings on any passer-by.[b]
