37thereforeH3651, beholdH2009, I will 1gatherH6908 allH3605 your loversH157 with whomH834 you tookH6149 pleasureH6149, even allH3605 those whomH834 you lovedH157 and allH3605 those whomH834 you 2hatedH8130. So I will gatherH6908 them againstH5921 you from everyH5439 directionH5439 and 3exposeH1540 your nakednessH6172 to them that they may seeH7200 allH3605 your nakednessH6172. 38Thus I will 4judgeH8199 you like women who commitH5003 adulteryH5003 or shedH8210 bloodH1818 are judgedH4941; and I will bringH5414 on you the bloodH1818 of 5wrathH2534 and jealousyH7068. 39I will also giveH5414 you into 6the handsH3027 of your lovers, and they will tearH2040 downH2040 your shrinesH1354, demolishH5422 your highH7413 placesH7413, 7stripH6584 you of your clothingH899, takeH3947 away your 8jewelsH3627H8597, and will leaveH5117 you nakedH5903 and bareH6181. 40They will 9inciteH5927 a 10crowdH6951 againstH5921 you and they will stoneH7275 you and cutH1333 you to piecesH1333 with their swordsH2719. 41They will 11burnH8313 your housesH1004 with fireH784 and executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 on you in the sightH5869 of manyH7227 womenH802. Then I will 12stopH7673 you from playingH2181 the harlotH2181, and you will alsoH1571 noH3808 longerH5750 payH5414 13your loversH868. 42So I 14will calmH5117 My furyH2534 against you and My jealousyH7068 will departH5493 from you, and I will be pacifiedH8252 and angryH3707 15noH3808 moreH5750. 43BecauseH3282H834 you have 16not rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of your youthH5271 but 17have 18enragedH7264 Me by allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428, beholdH1887, I in turnH1571 will 19bringH5414 your conductH1870 downH5414 on your own headH7218,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “so that you will not commitH6213 this lewdnessH2154 on topH5921 of allH3605 your other abominationsH8441.

44“BeholdH2009, everyoneH3605 who quotesH4911 20proverbsH4911 will quoteH4911 this proverbH4911 concerningH5921 you, sayingH559, ‘21Like motherH517, 22like daughterH1323.’
