8 »She did not forsake her acts of fornication from the time in Egypt. In her youth men had lain with her. They handled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her.
9 »Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.
10 »They uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgments on her.
11 »Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lust than she. Her prostitution was more than the fornication of her sister.
12 »She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 »I saw that she had defiled herself and that they both went the same way.
14 »So she increased her acts of fornication. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion (reddish-orange color),
15 girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 »When she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17 »The Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and defiled her with their acts of prostitution. When they had defiled her, she became disgusted with them.
18 »She uncovered her acts if prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. I became disgusted with her, as I had become disgusted with her sister.
19 »Yet she multiplied her acts of prostitution. She remembered the days of her youth, when she prostituted herself in the land of Egypt.
20 »She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys and whose genital organ is like the genital organ of horses.
21 »Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.
