2Look up at the tops of the hills.

You have loved other gods on all of them!

You sat at the side of the road,

and you waited for a lover to come.

Like a robber, you waited to catch men

so that you could sleep with them.

You have not been faithful to me,

but you have looked for other gods, like a prostitute.

The wicked things that you have done

have made the land unclean.
