35. Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord.
36. Thus says the Lord God, Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness discovered through your harlotries with your lovers, and with all the idols of your abominations, and by the blood of your children, which you gave to idols,
37. therefore I will gather all your lovers with whom you have taken pleasure and all those whom you have loved with all those whom you have hated. I will even gather them from all around against you and will reveal your nakedness to them so that they may see all your nakedness.
38. I will judge you as women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged. And I will bring on you the blood of fury and jealousy.
39. I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines, and shall break down your high places. They shall strip you also of your clothes, and shall take your fair jewels, and leave you naked and bare.
40. They shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through with their swords.
41. They shall burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. And I will cause you to cease from playing the harlot, and you also shall give no hire anymore.
42. So I will make My fury toward you to rest, and My jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be angry no more.
43. Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged Me in all these things, I also will recompense your way upon your head, says the Lord God, so that you shall not commit this lewdness above all your other abominations.
44. Everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, “Like mother, like daughter.”
45. You are your mother’s daughter who loathed her husband and her children. And you are the sister of your sisters who loathed their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
46. Now your elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters who dwell north of you. And your younger sister who dwells south of you is Sodom and her daughters.
47. Yet you have not walked after their ways, or done according to their abominations. But, as if that were a very little thing, you were corrupted more than they in all your ways.
48. As I live, says the Lord God, Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you and your daughters have done.
49. This was the iniquity of your sister Sodom. Pride, abundance of bread, and careless ease was in her and in her daughters, but she did strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I took them away when I saw it.
51. Moreover, Samaria did not commit half of your sins. But you have multiplied your abominations more than they and have made your sisters appear righteous in all your abominations which you have done.
52. Also bear your own shame in that you have made judgment favorable to your sisters. Because of your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous than you. Indeed, be humiliated also and bear your shame in that you have made your sisters appear righteous.
53. Yet I shall restore their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and along with them your own captivity,
54. in order that you may bear your own shame and may be humiliated in all that you have done in that you are a comfort to them.
