MLV(i)
8 Neither has she left her prostitutions since Egypt. For in her youth they lie with her and they handled the bosom of her virginity and they poured out their prostitution upon her.
9 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted. 10 These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters and they killed her with the sword. And she became a parable among women, for they executed judgments upon her.
11 And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her doting than she and in her prostitutions which were more than the prostitutions of her sister. 12 She doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled. They both took one way.
14 And she increased her prostitutions, for she saw men portrayed upon the wall, the images of Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 15 girded with belts upon their loins, with flowing turbans upon their heads, all of them rulers to look upon, according to the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
16 And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love. And they defiled her with their prostitution and she was polluted with them and her soul was alienated from them.
18 So she uncovered her prostitutions and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just as my soul was alienated from her sister. 19 Yet she multiplied her prostitutions, remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt. 20 And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys and whose seminal-discharge is like the seminal-discharge of horses.
21 Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
