And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

The result of the awful judgment shall be when divine vengeance has run its course it shall cease.

They shall burn thine houses - the very treatment which Israel was directed to give to any city which should fall into apostasy: she is now herself to be treated so for the same sin (; fulfilled by Nebuzar-adan, the captain of the guard under Nebuchadnezzar, ).

They shall ... execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women - the surrounding Gentile nations, as for instance Edom, to whom thou shalt be an object of mocking ().

I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot - (). Thou shalt no longer be able to play the harlot, through my judgments. Thou ... shalt give no hire anymore - thou shalt have none to give.
