“Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her; and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.”
Context
44They shall come to her, and besiege her, the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her: then shall the dust and smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about her shall bewail her.
45And they that remain under her shall do service unto them that have put her in fear.
46And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person:
47Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her; and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.
48Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works and inventions: therefore saith God,
49I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death.
50And the glory of thy Power shall be dried up as a flower, the heat shall arise that is sent over thee.
