27. “And see, I have stretched out My hand against you, and withdrew your portion, and gave you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your wicked way.

28. “And you whored with the sons of Ashshur, without being satisfied. And you whored with them and still were not satisfied.

29. “And you increased your whorings as far as the land of traders, Chaldea, and even then you were not satisfied.

30. “How weak is your heart!” declares the Master יהוה, “seeing you do all this, the deeds of a shameless whore.

31. “You built your arched place at the head of every way, and built your high place in every street. Yet you were unlike a whore, you scorned payment!

32. “The wife who commits adultery who takes strangers instead of her husband!

33. “To all whores they give gifts, but you gave gifts to all your lovers, and bribed them to come to you from all around in your whorings.

34. “Thus you are different from other women in your whorings, because no one whores after you, and in you giving a gift, while a gift was not given to you. Thus you are different.”

35. ‘Therefore, O whore, hear the word of יהוה!

36. ‘Thus said the Master יהוה, “Because your copper was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers, and with the idols of your abominations, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,

37. therefore, see, I am gathering all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, with all those you hated. And I shall gather them from all around against you and shall uncover your nakedness to them, and they shall see all your nakedness.
