7 ^aOn a high and lofty mountain
you have set your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your memorial;
for, deserting me, ^byou have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
^cyou have made it wide;
and you have made a covenant for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have looked on nakedness. ^{▼▼Or on a monument (see 56:5); Hebrew on a hand}

Jeremiah 3:1-3

1 ^e“If ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac; Hebrew Saying, “If} a man divorces his wife
and she goes from him
and becomes another man’s wife,
will he return to her?
^gWould not that land be greatly polluted?
^hYou have played the whore with many lovers;
and would you return to me?

declares the Lord.
2 Lift up your eyes to ⁱthe bare heights, and see!
Where have you not been ravished?
^jBy the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers
like an Arab in the wilderness.
^kYou have polluted the land
with your vile whoredom.
3 ^lTherefore the showers have been withheld,
and the spring rain has not come;
yet you have ^mthe forehead of a whore;
you refuse to be ashamed.

Ezekiel 23:16-17

16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and ⁿsent messengers to them ^oin Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her ^pinto the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, ^qshe turned from them in disgust.

Ezekiel 23:40-44

40 They even sent for men to come from afar, ^rto whom a messenger was sent; and behold, they came. For them you bathed yourself, ^spainted your eyes, ^tand adorned yourself with ornaments. 41 You sat on ^ua stately couch, with a table spread before it ^von which you had placed my incense and ^wmy oil. 42 The ^xsound of a carefree multitude was with her; and with men of the common sort, drunkards ^{▼▼Or Sabeans} were brought from the wilderness; and they put ^zbracelets on the hands of the women, and ^aabeautiful crowns on their heads.

43 “Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!' ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain} 44 For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women!

Hosea 2:13

13 And ^acI will punish her for ^adthe feast days of the Baals
when she burned offerings to them
and ^aeadorned herself with her ring and jewelry,
and went after her lovers
and forgot me, declares the Lord.

Hosea 8:9

9 For ^afthey have gone up to Assyria,
