35 “Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the Lord: 36 Thus says the Lord God, Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers, and with all your abominable idols, (A)and because of the blood of your children that you gave to them, 37 therefore, behold, (B)I will gather all your lovers with whom you took pleasure, all those you loved and (C)all those you hated. (D)I will gather them against you from every side (E)and will uncover your nakedness to them, that (F)they may see all your nakedness. 38 (G)And I will judge you (H)as women who commit adultery and (I)shed blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy. 39 And I will give you into their hands, and they shall throw down your (J)vaulted chamber and break down (K)your lofty places. (L)They shall strip you of your clothes and take (M)your beautiful jewels and leave you (N)naked and bare. 40 (O)They shall bring up a crowd against you, (P)and they shall stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords. 41 (Q)And they shall (R)burn your houses and (S)execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women. (T)I will make you stop playing the whore, and (U)you shall also give payment no more. 42 (V)So will I satisfy my wrath on you, and my jealousy shall depart from you. I will be calm and will no more be angry.

They will strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry and leave you stark naked.(G) 40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone(H) you and hack you to pieces with their swords. 41 They will burn down(I) your houses and inflict punishment on you in the sight of many women.(J) I will put a stop(K) to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers. 42 Then my wrath against you will subside and my jealous anger will turn away from you; I will be calm and no longer angry.(L)
