37. “For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols, and even offered their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour.

41. “And you sat on a splendid couch, with a table prepared before it, on which you had set My incense and My oil.

42. “And the sound of a crowd at ease was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the commonest sort. And they put bracelets on their wrists and pretty crowns on their heads.

43. “Then I said concerning the one worn out in adulteries, ‘Now let them commit her whorings, even hers!’
