    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.

    34And the opposite is in you from other women in your whoredoms, in that none pursue you to commit whoredoms; and in that you give a reward, and no reward is given to you, therefore you are contrary.

    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:

    37Behold, therefore I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those that you have loved, with all those that you have hated; I will even gather them round about against you, and will uncover your nakedness unto them, that they may see all your nakedness.

    38And I will judge you, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give you blood in fury and jealousy.
