- "Go upª° to Lebanon,ª and cry;ª° and lift upª° thy voiceª in Bashan,ª and cryª° from the passages:ª¹ for¹ all¹ thy loversª° are destroyed.ª° ... The windª shall eat upª° all¹ thy pastors,ª° and thy loversª° shall go²°¹ into captivity:ª surely¹ then¹ shalt thou be ashamedª° and confoundedª° for all¹¹ thy wickedness.ª" {Jer 22:20-22} + "She weepeth²° soreª° in the night,ª and her tearsª [are] on¹ her cheeks:ª among all¹¹ her loversª° she hath none¹ to comfortª° [her]: all¹ her friendsª have dealt treacherouslyª° with her, they are become¹ her enemies.ª°" {Lam 1:2} + "I calledª° for my lovers,ª° [but] they¹ deceivedª° me: my priestsª and mine eldersª gave up the ghostª° in the city,ª while¹ they soughtª° their meatª to relieveª°¹ their souls.ª" {Lam 1:19} + "As for us, our eyesª as yet¹ failedª° for¹ our vainª help:ª in our watchingª we have watchedª° for¹ a nationª [that] could not¹ saveª° [us]." {Lam 4:17} + "Thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Because¹ thy filthinessª was poured out,ª° and thy nakednessª discoveredª° through thy whoredomsª with¹ thy lovers,ª° and with¹ all¹ the idolsª of thy abominations,ª and by the bloodª of thy children,ª which¹ thou didst giveª° unto them; ... And they shall burnª° thine housesª with fire,ª and executeª° judgmentsª upon thee in the sightª of manyª women:ª and I will cause thee to ceaseª° from playing the harlot,ª°¹ and thou also¹ shalt giveª° no¹ hireª any more.¹" {Ezk 16:36-41} + "Wherefore¹ I have deliveredª° her into the handª of her lovers,ª° into the handª of the Assyrians,ªª upon¹ whom¹ she doted.ª° ... These¹ discoveredª° her nakedness:ª they tookª° her sonsª and her daughters,ª and slewª° her with the sword:ª and she became¹ famousª among women;ª for they had executedª° judgmentª upon her." {Ezk 23:9-10} + "Therefore,¹ O Aholibah,ª thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I will raise upª°¹ thy loversª° against¹ thee, from whom¹¹¹ thy mindª is alienated,ª° and I will bringª° them against¹ thee on every side;ª¹ ... And they shall comeª° against¹ thee with chariots,ª wagons,ª and wheels,ª and with an assemblyª of people,ª [which] shall setª° against¹ thee bucklerª and shieldª and helmetª round about:ª and I will setª° judgmentª beforeª them, and they shall judgeª° thee according to their judgments.ª" {Ezk 23:22-24} + "For¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª Behold,¹ I will deliverª° thee into the handª [of them] whom¹ thou hatest,ª° into the handª [of them] from whom¹ thy mindª is alienated:ª°¹ ... And they shall dealª° with¹ thee hatefully,ª and shall take awayª° all¹ thy labour,ª and shall leaveª° thee nakedª and bare:ª and the nakednessª of thy whoredomsª shall be discovered,ª° both thy lewdnessª and thy whoredoms.ª" {Ezk 23:28-29} + "Withª whomª the¹ kingsª of the¹ earthª have committed fornication,ª° andª the¹ inhabitantsª° of the¹ earthª have been made drunkª° withª the¹ wineª of her²¹ fornication.ª" {Rev 17:2} + "Theseª haveª° oneª mind,ª andª shall giveª° theirª powerª andª strengthª unto the¹ beast.ª" {Rev 17:13} + "Andª the¹ tenª hornsª whichª thou sawestª° uponª the¹ beast,ª theseª shall hateª° the¹ whore,ª andª shall makeª° herª desolateª° andª naked,ª andª shall eatª° her²¹ flesh,ª andª burnª° herª withª fire.ª ... Andª the¹ womanª whichª thou sawestª° isª° that greatª city,ª which² reignethªª° overª the¹ kingsª of the¹ earth.ª" {Rev 17:16-18}
