016:033 They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts
to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you
on every side for your prostitution.
016:034 You are different from [other] women in your prostitution,
in that none follows you to play the prostitute;
and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you,
therefore you are different.
016:035 Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of Yahweh:
016:036 Thus says the Lord Yahweh, Because your filthiness was poured out,
and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with
your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations,
and for the blood of your children, that you gave to them;
016:037 therefore see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you
have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved,
with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them
against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness
to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
016:038 I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood

against you, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
016:045 You are the daughter of your mother, who loathes her husband
