That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.

In that you gave payment but no payment was given you, therefore you are the opposite.”

New King James Version
10 Now (A)I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers,
And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
Hosea 2:5-7
New King James Version
5 For their mother has played the harlot;
She who conceived them has behaved shamefully.
For she said, ‘I will go after my lovers,
(A)Who give me my bread and my water,
My wool and my linen,
My oil and my drink.’
6 “Therefore, behold,
(B)I will hedge up your way with thorns,
And [a]wall her in,
So that she cannot find her paths.
7 She will [b]chase her lovers,
But not overtake them;
Yes, she will seek them, but not find them.
Then she will say,
(C)‘I will go and return to my (D)first husband,
For then it was better for me than now.’
Ezekiel 23:5-9
New King James Version
The Older Sister, Samaria
5 “Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine;
And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring (A)Assyrians,
6 Who were clothed in purple,
Captains and rulers,
All of them desirable young men,
Horsemen riding on horses.
7 Thus she committed her harlotry with them,
All of them choice men of Assyria;
And with all for whom she lusted,
With all their idols, she defiled herself.
8 She has never given up her harlotry brought (B)from Egypt,
For in her youth they had lain with her,
Pressed her virgin bosom,
And poured out their immorality upon her.
9 “Therefore I have delivered her
Into the hand of her lovers,
Into the hand of the (C)Assyrians,
For whom she lusted.
Isaiah 30:6
New King James Version
6 (A)The [a]burden against the beasts of the South.
Through a land of trouble and anguish,
From which came the lioness and lion,
(B)The viper and fiery flying serpent,
They will carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys,
And their treasures on the humps of camels,
To a people who shall not profit;

New King James Version
5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [a]onager,
6 (A)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [b]barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (B)every green thing.
