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,  
37 surely, therefore, aI will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved, and all those you hated; I will gather them from all around against you and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.  
38 And I will judge you as awomen who break wedlock or bshed blood are judged; I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.  
39 I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines and break down ayour high places. bThey shall also strip you of your clothes, take your beautiful jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.  
40 a“They shall also bring up an assembly against you, band they shall stone you with stones and thrust you through with their swords.  
41 They shall aburn your houses with fire, and bexecute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will make you ccease playing the harlot, and you shall no longer hire lovers.  
42 So aI will lay to rest My fury toward you, and My jealousy shall depart from you. I will be quiet, and be angry no more.  
43 Because ayou did not remember the days of your youth, but1 agitated Me with all these things, surely bI will also recompense your deeds on your own head,” says the Lord God. “And you shall not commit lewdness in addition to all your abominations.  

More Wicked than Samaria and Sodom

44 “Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you: ‘Like mother, like daughter!’
45 You are your mother’s daughter,1 loathing husband and children; and you are the asister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children; byour mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.  
46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and ayour younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.
