In context

29So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!

30How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!

31But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

32You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!

33Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.
