³³ “Why do you beautify your way to seek love?
Therefore you have also taught
The wicked women your ways.

⁷ “On^(A) a lofty and high mountain
You have set ^(B)your bed;
Even there you went up
To offer sacrifice.
⁸ Also behind the doors and their posts
You have set up your remembrance;
For you have uncovered yourself to those other than Me,
And have gone up to them;
You have enlarged your bed
And ^[a]made a covenant with them;
^(C)You have loved their bed,
Where you saw their ^[b]nudity.
^9 (D)You went to the king with ointment,
And increased your perfumes;
You sent your ^(E)messengers far off,
And even descended to Sheol.
¹⁰ You are wearied in the length of your way;
^(F)Yet you did not say, ‘There is no hope.’
You have found the life of your hand;
Therefore you were not grieved.

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.’
