Ezekiel 16:19

Sin

17 You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.

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

And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.

20 You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?

21 You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
