Ezekiel 16:28-35

28Thou hast played the whoreH2181 also with the AssyriansH804H1121, becauseH1115 thou wast unsatiableH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654. 29Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy fornicationH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto ChaldeaH3778; and yet thou wast not satisfiedH7646 herewithH2063. 30How weakH535 is thine heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 whorishH2181 womanH802; 31In that thou buildestH1129 thine eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thine high placeH7413 in every streetH7339; and hast not been as an harlotH2181, in that thou scornestH7046 hireH868;1 32But as a wifeH802 that committeth adulteryH5003, which takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376! 33They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all whoresH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 unto thee on every sideH5439 for thy whoredomH8457.2 34And the contraryH2016 is in thee from other womenH802 in thy whoredomsH8457, whereas none followethH310 thee to commit whoredomsH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 unto thee, therefore thou artH1961 contraryH2016.

35Wherefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068:
