Would not that land be greatly polluted? You have played the harlot with many lovers; and would you return to me? says the LORD. |

Where have you not been lain with? By the waysides you have sat awaiting lovers like an Arab in the wilderness. You have polluted the land with your vile harlotry. |

It shall not come to mind, or be remembered, or missed; it shall not be made again. |
