    you placed your symbols.
You abandoned me and lay down,
    making room in your bed
    and making deals for yourself with them.[a]
You loved their bed;
    you saw their nakedness.
You went down to Molech[b] with oil,
    and you slathered on your ointments;
    you sent your messengers far away,
    sent them down to the underworld.[c]

    yet you wouldn’t say, “This is useless.”
You found new strength;
    therefore, you weren’t tired.
