23 It happened that, after all your wicked acts," says the Lord, 24 "you built for<br />
yourself a housing for prostitutes and made for yourself an edict in every street. 25 At<br />
the beginning of every way, you built your prostitutions and corrupted your beauty; you<br />
carried your legs to every passerby and multiplied your prostitution. 26 You engaged in<br />
prostitution with the sons of Egypt who were adjacent to you, who were great of flesh;<br />
you engaged in prostitution many times to provoke me. 27 If I extend my hand against<br />
you, I will remove your regulations and deliver you up to the souls of those who hate<br />
you, the daughters of the Philistines who turned you out of your way. You became<br />
ungodly, 28 and you engaged in prostitution with the daughters of Asshur, yet you were<br />
not filled even in this way; you engaged in prostitution, yet were not being filled. 29 You<br />
multiplied your testaments to the land of the Chaldeans, yet you were not filled even by<br />
these.<br />
30 Why should I make a testament for your daughter," says the Lord, "when you are<br />
doing all these things, the works of a woman who is a prostitute? You engaged in<br />
prostitution three times by your daughters. 31 You built a brothel at every beginning of a<br />
way and made your pedestal in every street, and you became A like a prostitute<br />
gathering fees. 32 A woman who is committing adultery is similar to you, taking fees<br />
from her husband; 33 she was giving out fees to everyone who engaged in prostitution<br />
with her. You have given fees to all your paramours; you were encumbering them in<br />
order to come to you in your prostitution from all around. 34 A perverted thing happened<br />
in you beyond women in your prostitution: they have engaged in prostitution with you<br />
in your giving out of fees, yet fees were not given to you. Perverted things happened in<br />
you."<br />
35 Because of this, O prostitute, hear the word of the Lord. 36 Thus says the Lord:<br />
"Since you poured out your copper, your shame will be revealed in your prostitution<br />
with your paramours, for all the considerations of your lawless acts, and with regard to<br />
the blood of your children which you gave them. 37 Because of this, behold, I will gather<br />
against you all your paramours with whom you had intercourse and all whom you<br />
loved, with all whom you were hating. I will gather them against you all around and<br />
reveal your wicked acts to them, and they will see all your shame. 38 I will take<br />
vengeance on you with the vengeance of an adulteress and of a woman who pours out<br />
blood, B and I will place you in the blood of fury and jealousy. 39 I will deliver you up into<br />
their hands, and they will raze your brothel and tear down your pedestal. They will strip<br />
you of your clothing, take implements of your boasting, and leave you naked and<br />
ashamed. 40 They will bring crowds against you; they will stone you with stones and<br />
slaughter you with their knives. 41 They will burn your houses with fire and execute<br />
vengeance on you in the sight of many women. I will turn you away from your<br />
prostitution, and I will no longer give you fees. 42 I will discharge my fury over you, and<br />
my jealousy will be removed from you. I will rest and no longer be anxious about you.<br />
43 Since you did not remember the day of your infancy and were grieving me by all<br />
these things, behold, I have given your ways onto your head," says the Lord, "for in<br />
A and you became VA ¦ yet you did not become<br />
B and of a woman who pours out blood A ¦ ~ V
