509 B

Look, you

"Pay attention to what I am going to tell you. You"

you will sleep with your fathers

This is a polite way to say "you will die." Alternate translation: "you will die and join your ancestors who have died before you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism)

will rise up and act like a prostitute

Being a prostitute is a metaphor for worshiping gods other than Yahweh. Alternate translation: "will start to be unfaithful to me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
