Ezekiel 16:31
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
In context
29 So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!
30 How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!
31 But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
32 You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!
33 Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
