That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:

So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,

Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.

Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.

But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!

And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
