* And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth na #uwr #, when thou wast naked and bare , and wast polluted in thy blood . * And it came to pass after all thy wickedness , (woe , woe unto thee ! saith the Lord GOD ; ) * That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place , and hast made thee an high place in every street . * Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way , and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred , and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by , and multiplied thy whoredoms . * Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians ben # thy neighbours , great of flesh ; and hast increased thy whoredoms , to provoke me to anger . * Behold , therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee , and have diminished thine ordinary food , and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee , the daughters of the Philistines , which are ashamed of thy lewd way . * Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians ben #, because thou wast unsatiable ; yea , thou hast played the harlot with them , and yet couldest not be satisfied sob #ah #. * Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea ; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith zo #th #. * How weak is thine heart , saith the Lord GOD , seeing thou doest all these things , the work of an imperious whorish woman ; * In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way , and makest thine high place in every street ; and hast not been as an harlot , in that thou scornest hire ; * But as a wife that committeth adultery , which taketh strangers instead of her husband ! * They give gifts to all whores : but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers , and hirest them , that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom . * And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms , whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms : and in that thou givest a reward , and no reward is given unto thee , therefore thou art contrary . * Wherefore , O harlot , hear the word of the LORD : * Thus saith the Lord GOD ; Because thy filthiness was poured out , and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers , and with all the idols of thy abominations tow #ebah #, and by the blood of thy children , which thou didst give unto them ; * Behold , therefore I will gather all thy lovers , with whom thou hast taken pleasure , and all them that thou hast loved , with all them that thou hast hated ; I will even gather them round about against thee , and will discover thy nakedness unto them , that they may see all thy nakedness . * And I will judge thee , as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged ; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy qin #ah #. * And I will also give thee into their hand , and they shall throw down thine eminent place , and shall break down thy high places : they shall strip thee also of thy clothes , and shall take thy fair jewels , and leave thee naked and bare . * They shall also bring up a company against thee , and they shall stone thee with stones , and thrust thee through with their swords . * And they shall burn thine houses with fire , and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women : and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot , and thou also shalt give no hire any more . * So will I make my fury toward thee to rest , and my jealousy shall depart from thee , and I will be quiet , and will be no more angry . * Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth na #uwr #, but hast fretted me in all these things ; behold , therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head ro #sh #, saith the Lord GOD : and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations tow #ebah #.
