You're not like other prostitutes. Men don't ask you for sex--you offer to pay them!
Darby English Version
And in thee is the contrary from [other] women, in thy whoredoms, in that none followeth thee to commit fornication; and whereas thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, so art thou contrary.
