25. At every crossroad you built your platform and degraded your beauty by spreading your legs to all comers. And so you encouraged even more promiscuity.
26. You prostituted yourself with the Egyptians, your neighbors with the large sexual organs, and as you added to your seductions, you provoked me to anger.
27. So I used my power against you, cut off your allowance, and gave you up to the passions of the Philistine women who had been confounded by your infamous ways and had rejected you.
28. Still not satisfied, you prostituted yourself to the Assyrians, but they weren’t enough for you either.
29. So you prostituted yourself with the Babylonians, the land of traders, but again you weren’t satisfied.
30. How sick was your heart—the Lord God proclaims—that you could do all these things, the deeds of a hardened prostitute.
31. But you weren’t like an ordinary prostitute! When you built your pavilion at the head of every street and made your platform in every square, you refused to be paid.
32. You are like an adulterous wife: you take in strangers instead of your husband.
