because of your renown mand lavished your whorings ▼▼Or unfaithfulness; also verses 20, 22, 25, 26, 29, 33, 34, 36
on any passerby; your beauty ▼▼Hebrew it
became his. 16You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be. ▼▼The meaning of this Hebrew sentence is uncertain
