What is this actually saying? Samaria and Jerusalem turned away from the god Yahweh when they… what let peoples of other nations and religions live and worship there but then made them stop? So now those peoples will be turned against the cities and do the whole burn/rape/pillage thing?

Also why are breasts and bosoms treated like they are two separate things to be fondled and defiled? I’m not getting the metaphor the writer seems to just want to really hate on prostitutes.
