For long ago you broke your yoke and tore up your bonds. And you said, I will not pass by, when on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down like one doing adultery.
Lift up your eyes on the bare heights and see. Where have you not been lain with? By the highways you have sat for them, like an Arab in the desert. And you have defiled the land with your fornications and with your evil.
in that you have built your mound in the head of every highway, and you have made your high place in every open place; yet you have not been as one prostituting, even scorning hire.
And the light of a lamp will not still shine in you, not ever! And the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not still be heard in you, not ever! For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were led astray.
because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk, even the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her luxury.
