Ezekiel 16:28-35

28Moreover, you playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with the 1AssyriansH804 becauseH4480 you were not satisfiedH7654; you playedH2181 the harlotH2181 with them and stillH1571 were not satisfiedH7646. 29You also multipliedH7235 your harlotryH8457 with the landH776 of merchantsH3667, ChaldeaH3778, yet evenH1571 with thisH2088 you were not satisfiedH7646.”’”

30“HowH4100 2languishingH535 is your heartH3826,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “while you doH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH4639, the actionsH4639 of a 34bold-facedH7989 harlotH2181. 31When you builtH1129 your shrineH1354 at the beginningH7218 of everyH3605 streetH1870 and madeH6213 your highH7413 placeH7413 in everyH3605 squareH7339, in 5disdainingH7046 moneyH868, you were not like a harlotH2181. 32You adulteressH5003 wifeH802, who takesH3947 strangersH2114 insteadH8478 of her husbandH376! 336Men giveH5414 giftsH5078 to allH3605 harlotsH2181, but you 7giveH5414 your giftsH5083 to allH3605 your loversH157 to bribeH7809 them to comeH935 to you from everyH5439 directionH5439 for your harlotriesH8457. 34Thus you are differentH2016 from those womenH802 in your harlotriesH8457, in that noH3808 one playsH2181 the harlotH2181 8as you do, because you giveH5414 moneyH868 and noH3808 moneyH868 is givenH5414 you; thus you are differentH2016.”

35ThereforeH3651, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.
