33 How skilled you are at pursuing(A) love!
    Even the worst of women can learn from your ways.
34 On your clothes is found
    the lifeblood(B) of the innocent poor,

But I will pass judgment(E) on you
    because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’(F)

33     So skilled are you at pursuing lovers[a]
        that you instruct even the most wicked.[b]
34 Your garments are stained
    with the blood of the innocent poor,
        even though you didn’t catch them
        breaking and entering.
Yet, despite all this,[c] 35 you still insist,
    “I’m innocent;
        as a result he will turn his anger away from me.”
Because you claim not to have sinned,
    I will pass judgment against you.
