    17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to her bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. After she was defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.

    18 When she openly displayed her prostitution and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister.

    19 Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she prostituted herself in the land of Egypt.

    20 She lusted after her lovers there, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

    21 So you revisited the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your breasts and caressed your young bosom.

    5 Oholah was unfaithful to me and lusted after her lovers—the Assyrians, who were near.

    6 They were clothed in blue, governors and officials, all of them young and desirable men, skilled horsemen riding on horses.

    7 She gave herself to them, all the elite of the Assyrians, and defiled herself with all the idols she lusted after.

    8 She did not abandon the adulteries she began in Egypt, where men slept with her in her youth, fondling her virgin breasts and pouring out their lust upon her.

    9 Therefore, I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians whom she lusted after.

    10 They exposed her nakedness, seized her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women, and they carried out judgment against her.

    11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was even more corrupt in her lust, and her adulteries exceeded those of her sister.

    12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and officials nearby—elegantly clothed, skilled horsemen, and all young and desirable men.

    13 I saw that she too was defiled; both had followed the same corrupt path.

    14 But she went even further with her adulteries. She saw men carved on the walls, images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion.
