WHAT ARE OTHER LADIES LEARNING FROM YOU:

Jeremiah 2:33 "Why do you BEAUTIFY your way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught the wicked women your ways”.
    
Prov 31:30 “Charm (act of seduction) is deceitful and BEAUTYis passing,But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

My sisters, what impact is your lifestyle creating upon the younger generation? What legacy will you leave behind? Jeremiah sarcastically concluded that some women had become so skilled in the art of pursuing illicit love that even the worst of prostitutes could learn new secrets of seduction by observing their perverse ways. 

Why do you beautify or trimmest your way to seek love? "Trimmest" best suits the image of one bedecking herself as a harlot. But see 2 Kings 9:30, "When Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel painted her face, and attired her head."  There is an allusion here to the practice of lewd women who strive to recommend themselves by their ogling looks and sexual provoking dresses, as Jezebel, who painted her face and tired her head to seduce Jehu.    

These kind of women ramble here and there in all directions, and also paint their faces and seek for themselves all the charms of wantonness. The verb “beautify” in Hebrew has a wide meaning: it means to prepare, to conciliate favour. But its import here is "Why do you disguise and paint yourself like strumpets, using many artifices to allure young men and to inflame their lusts? why then do you undertake so much labour to gain a meretricious hire?"
A chaste woman will not turn her eyes here and there, nor gad about, but has respect to her God and waiting patiently for the right man to locate her. But the woman here despises her covenant of chastity with God and rambles after any she can find, and seeks wanton and silly young men in all places, and subjects herself to the gratification of all. Such then are you (says God;) for you spend much care and labour in seeking for yourselves strange lovers."
As a lascivious woman is far worse than all the adulterers whom she captivates as her paramours. For when a young man is not deceived, and the devil does not apply the fagot, he may continue chaste and pure; but when an impudent and wanton woman entices him, it is all over with him.
