    they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink offering,

Upon a high and lofty mountain
    you have set your bed,
    and thither you went up to offer sacrifice.
Behind the door and the doorpost

and you have made a bargain for yourself with them,
    you have loved their bed,
    you have looked on nakedness.[a]

    and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(G)
