    31When you built your mounds at the head of every road and made your high places in every street, you were not like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

    32You adulterous wife, who prefers strangers instead of her own husband!

    37therefore I am going to gather all your lovers with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will gather them against you from every side, and I will expose your nakedness to them, so they may see all your shame.

    38I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and shed blood. I will bring upon you the wrath and jealousy of my judgment.
