Now it was about three ^H7969 months ^H2320 later ^H4480 that Judah ^H3063 was [fn]informed ^H5046, “Your daughter-in-law ^H3618 Tamar ^H8559 has prostituted ^H2181 herself, and behold ^H2009, she is also ^H1571 pregnant ^H2030 by prostitution ^H2183.” Then Judah ^H3063 said ^H559, “Bring ^H3318 her out ^H3318 and have her burned ^H8313!”

‘Do not profane ^H2455 your daughter ^H1323 by making ^H2181 her a prostitute ^H2181, so that the land ^H776 does not fall ^H2181 into ^H2181 prostitution ^H2181, and the land ^H776 does not become ^H4390 full ^H4390 of outrageous ^H2154 sin ^H2154.

While Israel ^H3478 remained ^H3427 at Shittim ^H7851, the people ^H5971 began ^H2490 to commit ^H2181 infidelity ^H2181 with the daughters ^H1323 of Moab ^H4124.

Then Joshua ^H3091 the son ^H1121 of Nun ^H5126 sent ^H7971 two ^H8147 men ^H376 as spies ^H7270 secretly ^H2791 from Shittim ^H7851, saying ^H559, “Go ^H1980, view ^H7200 the land ^H776, especially ^H853 Jericho ^H3405.” So they went ^H1980 and entered ^H935 the house ^H1004 of a prostitute ^H2181 whose name ^H8034 was Rahab ^H7343, and rested ^H7901 there ^H8033.

And Joshua ^H3091 said ^H559 to the two ^H8147 men ^H376 who had spied ^H7270 out ^H7270 the land ^H776, “Go ^H935 into the prostitute’s ^H2181 house ^H1004 and bring ^H3318 the woman ^H802 and all ^H3605 she has out ^H3318 of there ^H8033, just ^H834 as ^H834 you have sworn ^H7650 to her.”

Then it came ^H1961 about ^H1961, as ^H834 soon ^H834 as ^H834 Gideon ^H1439 was dead ^H4191, that the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 again ^H7725 [fn]committed ^H2181 infidelity ^H2181 with the Baals ^H1168, and made ^H7760 Baal-berith ^H1170 their god ^H430.

Now Jephthah ^H3316 the Gileadite ^H1569 was a [fn]valiant ^H2428 warrior ^H1368, but he was the son ^H1121 of a prostitute ^H2181. And Gilead ^H1568 had fathered ^H3205 Jephthah ^H3316.

Now Samson ^H8123 went ^H1980 to Gaza ^H5804 and saw ^H7200 a prostitute ^H2181 there ^H8033, and had ^H935 relations ^H935 with ^H935 her.

But they were ^H4603 untrue ^H4603 to the God ^H430 of their fathers ^H1 and prostituted ^H2181 themselves with ^H310 the gods ^H430 of the peoples ^H5971 of the land ^H776, whom ^H834 God ^H430 had destroyed ^H8045 before ^H4480 H6640 them.

For, behold ^H2009, those who are far ^H7369 from You will perish ^H6;

You have destroyed ^H6789 all ^H3605 those who [fn]are unfaithful ^H2181 to You.

So they became ^H2930 unclean ^H2930 in their [fn]practices ^H4639,

And [fn]were ^H2181 unfaithful ^H2181 in their deeds ^H4611.

For the price ^H1157 of a prostitute ^H802 H2181 reduces one to a loaf ^H3603 of bread ^H3899,

And [fn]an adulteress ^H802 H376 hunts ^H6679 for a precious ^H3368 life ^H5315.

And behold ^H2009, a woman ^H802 comes to meet ^H7122 him,

Dressed ^H7897 as a prostitute ^H2181 and cunning ^H5341 of heart ^H3820.

For a prostitute ^H2181 is a deep ^H6013 pit ^H7745,

And a [fn]strange ^H5237 woman ^H5237 is a narrow ^H6862 well ^H875.

A man ^H376 who loves ^H157 wisdom ^H2451 makes ^H8055 his father ^H1 glad ^H8055,

But he who involves ^H7462 himself ^H7462 with ^H7462 prostitutes ^H2181 wastes ^H6 his wealth ^H1952.

How ^H351 the faithful ^H539 city ^H7151 has become ^H1961 a prostitute ^H2181,

She who was full ^H4392 of justice ^H4941!

Righteousness ^H6664 once dwelt ^H3885 in her,

But now ^H6258 murderers ^H7523.

Now on that day ^H3117 Tyre ^H6865 will be forgotten ^H7911 for seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141 like the days ^H3117 of one ^H259 king ^H4428. At the end ^H7093 of seventy ^H7657 years ^H8141 it will happen ^H1961 to Tyre ^H6865 as in the song ^H7892 of the prostitute ^H2181:

“But come ^H7126 here ^H2008, you sons ^H1121 of a sorceress ^H6049,

Offspring ^H2233 of an adulterer ^H5003 and [fn]a prostitute ^H2181!

“For long ^H5769 ago ^H5769 [fn]I broke ^H7665 your yoke ^H5923

And tore ^H5423 off ^H5423 your restraints ^H4147;

But you said ^H559, ‘I will not serve ^H5647!’

For on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H1389

And under ^H8478 every ^H3605 leafy ^H7488 tree ^H6086

You have lain ^H6808 down ^H6808 as a prostitute ^H2181.

God [fn]says ^H559, “If ^H2005 a husband ^H376 divorces ^H7971 his wife ^H802

And she leaves ^H1980 H4480 him

And becomes ^H1961 another ^H312 man’s ^H376 wife,

Will he return ^H7725 to her again ^H570?

Would that land ^H776 not be completely ^H2610 defiled ^H2610?

But you are a prostitute ^H2181 with many ^H7227 [fn]lovers ^H7453;

Yet you turn ^H7725 to Me,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.

“Therefore the showers ^H7241 have been withheld ^H4513,

And there has been ^H1961 no ^H3808 spring ^H4456 rain ^H4456.

Yet you had ^H1961 a prostitute’s ^H802 H2181 [fn]forehead ^H4696;

You refused ^H3985 to be ashamed ^H3637.

Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to me in the days ^H3117 of King ^H4428 Josiah ^H2977, “Have you seen ^H7200 what ^H834 faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213? She went ^H1980 up on every ^H3605 high ^H1364 hill ^H2022 and under ^H8478 every ^H3605 leafy ^H7488 tree ^H6086, and she prostituted ^H2181 herself there ^H8033.

“Why ^H335 should I forgive ^H5545 you?

Your sons ^H1121 have forsaken ^H5800 Me

And sworn ^H7650 by those who are not gods ^H430.

When I had fed ^H7646 them to ^H7646 the ^H7646 full ^H7646,

They committed ^H5003 adultery ^H5003

And stayed ^H1481 at the prostitute’s ^H2181 house ^H1004.

“But you trusted ^H982 in your beauty ^H3308 and became ^H2181 unfaithful ^H2181 because ^H5921 of your fame ^H8034, and you poured ^H8210 out ^H8210 your [fn]obscene ^H8457 practices ^H8457 on every ^H3605 passer-by ^H5674 to whom it might be tempting.
