    28You have played the harlot also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the harlot with them, and yet could not be satisfied.

    29You have moreover multiplied your fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea, and yet you were not satisfied with this.

    30How weak is your heart, says the Lord GOD, seeing you do all these things, the work of an imperious, whorish woman;

    31In that you build your eminent place at the head of every way, and make your high place in every street; and have not been as a harlot, that scorns payment;

    32But as a wife that commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her husband!

    33They give gifts to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and hire them, that they may come to you on every side for your whoredom.

    35Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD;

    36Thus says the Lord GOD; Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your whoredoms with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you gave to them:

    15But you trusted in your own beauty, and played the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your fornications on everyone that passed by; it was his.

    16And of your garments you took, and decked your high places with different colors, and played the harlot thereupon; such things shall not come, nor shall it be so.

    17You have also taken your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and committed whoredom with them,

    18And took your embroidered garments, and covered them; and you have set my oil and my incense before them.
