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

    31 In 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;

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

    33 They 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.

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

    36 Thus 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:

    37 Behold, 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.

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

    39 And I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your eminent place, and shall break down your high places; they shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your beautiful jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
