35 Therefore, Yerushalem you prostitute, listen to Yahweh’s message. 36 The master Yahweh says this: Because you’ve poured out your lust and uncovered your nakedness through your acts of prostitution with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood, 37 then listen: I will gather all your lovers that you’ve met, including the ones you loved and the ones you hated, and I will gather them against you on every side. I’ll uncover your nakedness to them so they see all your nakedness. 38 Then I’ll punish you for your adultery and the shedding of blood, and I’ll bring on you the bloodshed of my anger and passion. 39 I’ll allow them to conquer you so they’ll tear apart your raised chamber and break down your high places, and they’ll strip you of your clothes and take all of your jewelry—leaving you naked and bare.

40 Then they’ll bring a crowd up against you and stone you with stones, and they’ll cut you apart with their swords. 41 They’ll burn down your houses and will punish you in several ways in the sight of many women, because I’ll put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers. 42 Then I’ll calm my rage against you. My anger will leave you, because I’ll be satisfied and won’t be angry at you any longer.

43 Because you didn’t call to mind your younger days and made me shake with anger because of all those things, therefore, listen: I myself will bring the punishment for what you’ve done down onto your own head. That is the master Yahweh’s declaration.
