Verse 21 is found in chapter 16 of Ezekiel. The city uses her beauty to commit symbolic prostitution through idolatry and alliances. Sin appears as unfaithfulness after receiving benefits. The marital metaphor allows idolatry to be described as betrayal of a relationship established by God.

daß du meine Kinder schlachtest und läßt sie denselben verbrennen?
Y sacrificaste mis hijos, y dístelos a ellas para que los hiciesen pasar por el fuego.
para que degollaras a mis hijos y se los entregaras como ofrenda?
Tu as égorgé mes fils, et tu les as donnés, en les faisant passer par le feu en leur honneur.
che tu abbi ancora scannati i miei figliuoli, e li abbi dati a quelle, facendoli passare per lo fuoco?
E mataste a meus filhos, e os entregaste a elas para os fazerem passar pelo fogo.
你竟把我的兒女殺了,使他們經火獻給它們!
