27. So I punished you by letting those greedy Philistine enemies take over some of your territory. But even they were offended by your disgusting behaviour.
28. You couldn't get enough sex, so you chased after Assyrians and slept with them. You still weren't satisfied,
29. so you went after Babylonians. But those merchants could not satisfy you either.
30. I, the Lord God, say that you were so disgusting that you would have done anything to get what you wanted.
31. You had sex on every street corner, and when you finished, you refused to accept money. That's worse than being a prostitute!
32. You are nothing but an unfaithful wife who would rather have sex with strangers than with your own husband.
33. Prostitutes accept money for having sex, but you bribe men from everywhere to have sex with you.
34. You're not like other prostitutes. Men don't ask you for sex—you offer to pay them!
35. Jerusalem, you prostitute, listen to me.
36. You chased after lovers, then took off your clothes and had sex. You even worshipped disgusting idols and sacrificed your own children as offerings to them.
37. So I, the Lord God, will gather every one of your lovers, those you liked and those you hated. They will stand around you, and I will rip off your clothes and let all those lovers stare at your nakedness.
38. I will find you guilty of being an unfaithful wife and a murderer, and in my fierce anger I will sentence you to death!
39. Then I will hand you over to your lovers, who will tear down the places where you had sex. They will take your clothes and jewellery, leaving you naked and empty-handed.
