Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.
30
How degenerate is your heart!" says the Lord God, "seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.
31
"You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned payment.
32
You are an adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband.
33
Men make payment to all harlots, but you made your payments to all your lovers, and hired them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.
34
You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite."
35
'Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!
36
Thus says the Lord God: "Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,
37
surely, therefore, I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
38
And I will judge you as women who break wedlock or shed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.
39
I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down your high places. They shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.
