Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

⁴“Indeed, what have you to do with Me,

Will you ^[a]retaliate against Me?
But if you ^[b]retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your ^[c]retaliation upon your own head;
⁵Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
And have carried into your temples My ^[d]prized possessions.
⁶Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem
You have sold to the Greeks,
That you may remove them far from their borders.

⁷“Behold, ^(C)I will raise them
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your ^[e]retaliation upon your own head.
