⁴¹ You sat on ^(A)a stately couch, with a table spread before it ^(B)on which you had placed my incense and ^(C)my oil.

¹⁶ You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be.^[a]

²⁸ For when I had brought them into the land that ^(A)I swore to give them, then wherever they saw ^(B)any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented ^(C)the provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings. ²⁹ (I said to them, ^(D)‘What is the high place to which you go?’ So its name is called Bamah^[a] to this day.)

²⁵ At the head of every street ^(A)you built your lofty place and made ^(B)your beauty an abomination, ^(C)offering yourself^[a] to any passerby and multiplying your whoring.

Faithless Israel Called to Repentance

⁶ The Lord said to me in the days of ^(A)King Josiah: “Have you seen what she did, that faithless one, Israel, ^(B)how she went up on every high hill and under every green tree, and there ^(C)played the whore?

¹⁷ And the Babylonians came to her ^(A)into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, ^(B)she turned from them in disgust.
