In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;

Quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viæ, et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea : nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium,
Vulgate
τὸ πορνεῖον ᾠκοδόμησας ἐν πάσῃ ἀρχῇ ὁδοῦ, καὶ ⸆ τὴν βάσιν σου ἐποίησας ἐν πάσῃ πλατείᾳ. καὶ ἐγένου ὡς πόρνη συνάγουσα μισθώματα,
LXX
in that thou buildest thy vaulted place at the head of every way, and makest thy lofty place in every street, and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire.
