Ezekiel 16:28

26 You also committed harlotry with ^athe Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to ^bprovoke Me to anger.

27 “Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your¹ allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, ^athe daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.

28 You also played the harlot with the ^aAssyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.

29 Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, ^aChaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.

30 “How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.
