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.
33. Ordinary prostitutes are given gifts, but you gave your gifts to all your lovers. From every direction you even bribed them to come to you for your sexual favors.
34. As a prostitute, you were more perverse than other women. No one approached you for sexual favors, but you yourself gave gifts instead of receiving them. You are perversion itself!
35. Therefore, you prostitute, hear the Lord’s word!
36. The Lord God proclaims: You were in a constant state of arousal and exposed yourself when you acted like a prostitute with your lovers and with the idols to which you gave your children’s blood.
37. Therefore, I will now gather all of your lovers whom you pleased, the ones you loved and the ones you rejected. I will gather them against you from all around, and I will expose you to them. They will see it all.
38. I will convict you of adultery and murder, and I will hand you over in bloody fury and zeal.
