17 The daughters of Israel must not become female temple prostitutes, and neither are the sons of Israel to become male temple prostitutes.
18 Do not bring the fee earned by a whore or the pay earned by a “dog”[a] to the house of the Lord your God to fulfill any vow, because it is an abomination to the Lord. Yes, both of them are.
