And the women, with cords around them, sit along the passageways, burning bran for incense.
NRSVUE
When one of them is led off by one of the passers-by and is taken to bed by him, she derides the woman next to her because she was not as attractive as herself and her cord was not broken.
RSV
Yet they themselves cannot perceive this and abandon them, for they have no sense.

And they, when they shall understand, shall forsake those idols; for those gods of them have no wit. [And they when they shall understand, shall forsake them; soothly those gods of them have not wit.]
