They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.

Omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes : tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis, et dona donabas eis, ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum.

Vulgate

πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκπορνεύσασιν αὐτὴν προσεδίδου μισθώματα· καὶ σὺ δέδωκας μισθώματα πᾶσι τοῖς ἐρασταῖς σου, καὶ ἐφόρτιζες αὐτούς, τοῦ ἔρχεσθαι πρὸς σὲ κυκλόθεν ἐν τῇ πορνίᾳ σου.

LXX

They give gifts to all harlots; but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and bribest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredoms.
