31. Repetition of :- . not . . . as . . . harlot . . . thou scornest hire —Unlike an ordinary harlot thou dost prostitute thy person gratis, merely to satisfy thy lust. JEROME translates, "Thou hast not been as a harlot in scorning (that is, who ordinarily scorns) a hire offered," in order to get a larger one: nay, thou hast offered hire thyself to thy lovers ( Ezekiel 16:33 ; Ezekiel 16:34 ). But these verses show English Version to be preferable, for they state that Israel prostituted herself, not merely for any small reward without demanding more, but for "no reward." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-32" class="com-number"
