Woe! to thee, Exclaimeth My Lord Yahweh; 24 That thou didst build thee a brothel, - and didst make thee a height in every broadway: 25 At the head of every road, didst thou bud thy height, And bring thy beauty into disgust, And open thy feet to every passer-by, So didst thou make thine unchaste ways to abound.
