Compare all
12 And I put a jewel in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.  
13 Thus you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. aYou ate pastry of fine flour, honey, and oil. You were exceedingly bbeautiful, and succeeded to royalty.  
14 aYour fame went out among the nations because of your beauty, for it was perfect through My splendor which I had bestowed on you,” says the Lord God.  

Jerusalem’s Harlotry

15 a“But you trusted in your own beauty, bplayed the harlot because of your fame, and poured out your harlotry on everyone passing by who would have it.  
16 aYou took some of your garments and adorned multicolored1 high places for yourself, and played the harlot on them. Such things should not happen, nor be.  
17 You have also taken your beautiful jewelry from My gold and My silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself male images and played the harlot with them.
18 You took your embroidered garments and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before them.
19 Also aMy food which I gave you—the pastry of fine flour, oil, and honey which I fed you—you set it before them as1 sweet incense; and so it was,” says the Lord God.  
20 a“Moreover you took your sons and your daughters, whom you bore to Me, and these you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your acts of harlotry a small matter,  
21 that you have slain My children and offered them up to them by causing them to pass through the afire?  
22 And in all your abominations and acts of harlotry you did not remember the days of your ayouth, bwhen you were naked and bare, struggling in your blood.  
23 “Then it was so, after all your wickedness—‘Woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God—
24 that ayou also built for yourself a shrine, and bmade a high place for yourself in every street.  
25 You built your high places aat the head of every road, and made your beauty to be abhorred. You offered yourself to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your acts of harlotry.  
26 You also committed harlotry with athe Egyptians, your very fleshly neighbors, and increased your acts of harlotry to bprovoke Me to anger.  
27 “Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your1 allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, athe daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior.  
28 You also played the harlot with the aAssyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you played the harlot with them and still were not satisfied.  
29 Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry as far as the land of the trader, aChaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.  
30 “How degenerate is your heart!” says the Lord God, “seeing you do all these things, the deeds of a brazen harlot.

Jerusalem’s Adultery

31 a“You erected your shrine at the head of every road, and built your1 high place in every street. Yet you were not like a harlot, because you scorned bpayment.  
32 You are an adulterous wife, who takes strangers instead of her husband.
33 Men make payment to all harlots, but ayou made your payments to all your lovers, and1 hired them to come to you from all around for your harlotry.  
34 You are the opposite of other women in your harlotry, because no one solicited you to be a harlot. In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.”

Jerusalem’s Lovers Will Abuse Her

35 ‘Now then, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord!
36 Thus says the Lord God: “Because your filthiness was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your harlotry with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, and because of athe blood of your children which you gave to them,
