29. You were also a prostitute for the Babylonians, that nation of merchants, but they didn't satisfy you either.”
30. This is what the Sovereign Lord is saying: “You have done all this like a shameless prostitute.
31. On every street you built places to worship idols and practise prostitution. But you are not out for money like a common prostitute.
32. You are like a woman who commits adultery with strangers instead of loving her husband.
33. A prostitute is paid, but you gave presents to all your lovers and bribed them to come from everywhere to sleep with you.
34. You are a special kind of prostitute. No one forced you to become one. You didn't get paid; you paid them! Yes, you are different.”
35. Now then, Jerusalem, you whore! Hear what the Lord is saying.
