- Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viæ, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea : nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
- Septuagint (Swete)
- τὸ πορνεῖον ᾠκοδόμησας ἐν πάσῃ ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ, καὶ ⸆ τὴν βάσιν σου ἐποίησας ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ. καὶ ἐγένου ὡς πόρνη συνάγουσα μισθώματα,

Haydock's commentary
Price, before she will yield, (Haydock) or who follow such practices for a livelihood. (Calmet)
Hebrew, "in that thou scornest hire." (Protestants) Septuagint, "gathering rewards." The difference consisted in Jerusalem's sinning through mere wantonness, and even to her loss.
