¹⁴ And your fame^(A) spread among the nations on account of your beauty,^(B) because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(C)

¹⁵ “‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by^(D) and your beauty became his.^{(E) 16} You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places,^(F) where you carried on your prostitution.^(G) You went to him, and he possessed your beauty.^{[a] 17} You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them.^{(H) 18} And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense^(I) before them. ¹⁹ Also the food I provided for you—the flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat—you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign Lord.^(J)

²⁰ “‘And you took your sons and daughters^(K) whom you bore to me^(L) and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough?^{(M) 21} You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.^{(N) 22} In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth,^(O) when you were naked and bare,^(P) kicking about in your blood.^(Q)

²³ “‘Woe!^(R) Woe to you, declares the Sovereign Lord. In addition to all your other wickedness, ²⁴ you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine^(S) in every public square.^{(T) 25} At every street corner^(U) you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.^{(V) 26} You engaged in prostitution^(W) with the Egyptians,^(X) your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger^(Y) with your increasing promiscuity.^{(Z) 27} So I stretched out my hand^(AA) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over^(AB) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,^(AC) who were shocked by your lewd conduct.
