9 Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly as the nations do,^(A)
for you have acted promiscuously,^(B) leaving your God.
You love the wages of a prostitute
on every grain threshing-floor.^(C)

⁷ All her carved images will be smashed^(A) to pieces;
all her wages^(B) will be burned in the fire,
and I will destroy all her idols.
Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,^(C)
they will be used again for a prostitute.
