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
