There were also male shrine prostitutes in the land, and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Yahweh had driven out from before the {Israelites}.

He put away the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all of the idols that his ancestors made.

They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked his blood (now, the prostitutes washed themselves [there]) according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.

The remainder of the male shrine prostitutes who were left over in the days of Asa his father he exterminated from the land.

He tore down the shrines of the male shrine prostitutes which were in the temple of Yahweh, where the women were weaving shrines for the Asherah.

But when this son of yours returned--who has consumed your assets with prostitutes--you killed the fattened calf for him!'

And on her forehead a name [was] written, a mystery: "Babylon the great, the mother of prostitutes and of the detestable things of the earth."
