Ezekiel 16:31

16:31 When you built your chamber at the head of every street and put up your pavilion in every public square, you were not like a prostitute, because you scoffed at payment. ¹ 

Ezekiel 16:34

16:34 You were different from other prostitutes ²  because no one solicited you. When you gave payment and no payment was given to you, you became the opposite!

Ezekiel 16:41

16:41 They will burn down your houses and execute judgments on you in front of many women. Thus I will put a stop to your prostitution, and you will no longer give gifts to your clients. ³ 

¹ tn The Hebrew term, which also occurs in vv. 34 and 41 of this chapter, always refers to the payment of a prostitute (Deut 23:19; Isa 23:17; Hos 9:1; Mic 1:7).

² tn Heb “With you it was opposite of women in your prostitution.”

³ tn The words “to your clients” are not in the Hebrew text but are implied.
