Ezekiel 16:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Ezekiel 16:18

16 ^aYou took some of your garments and adorned multicolored¹ high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.

17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them.

18 You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them.

19 Also ^aMy food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as¹ sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God.

20 ^a“Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter,

21 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the ^afire?
