Ezekiel 16:32 Context
30How weake is thine heart, saith the Lord God, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman? 31In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of euery way, and makest thine high place in euery streete, and hast not beene as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire: 32But as a wife that committeth adulterie, which taketh strangers in steede of her husband. 33They giue gifts to all whores, but thou giuest thy gifts to all thy louers, and hyrest them, that they may come vnto thee on euery side for thy whoredome. 34And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredomes, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredomes: and in that thou giuest a reward, and no reward is giuen vnto thee: therefore thou art contrary.
