Ezekiel 16:28-35

28Thou hast played the harlotH2181 also with the AssyriansH1121H804, becauseH1115 thou wast not satisfiedH7646; yea, thou hast played the harlotH2181 with them, and yet couldest not be satisfiedH7654. 29Thou hast moreover multipliedH7235 thy harlotryH8457 in the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to ChaldeaH3778; and yet with thisH2063 thou wast not satisfiedH7646. 30How weakH535 is thy heartH3826, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, seeing thou doestH6213 all these things, the workH4639 of an imperiousH7986 harlotH2181H802; 31In that thou buildestH1129 thy eminent placeH1354 in the headH7218 of every wayH1870, and makestH6213 thy 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, who takethH3947 strangersH2114 instead of her husbandH376! 33They giveH5414 giftsH5078 to all harlotsH2181: but thou givestH5414 thy giftsH5083 to all thy loversH157, and hirestH7809 them, that they may comeH935 to thee on every sideH5439 for thy harlotryH8457.2 34And thou art the oppositeH2016 from other womenH802 in thy harlotriesH8457, though none followethH310 thee to commit harlotriesH2181: and in that thou givestH5414 a rewardH868, and no rewardH868 is givenH5414 to thee, therefore thou artH1961 the oppositeH2016.

35Therefore, O harlotH2181, hearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068:
