I will make you stop playing the whore, and you shall also give payment no more. So will I satisfy my wrath on you, and my jealousy shall depart from you.

Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations? 44"Behold, everyone who uses proverbs will use this proverb about you: 'Like mother, like daughter.'
