31 In that thou buildest thine high place in the corner of every way, and makest thine high place in every street, and hast not been as an harlot [a]that despiseth a reward,

33 They give gifts to all other whores, but thou givest gifts unto all thy lovers, and rewardest them that they may come unto thee on every side for thy fornication.
