11 Her sister Oholibah saw that, but she lusted more passionately and prostituted herself even more wildly than her sister. 12 She also lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who rode horses and dressed impressively. All of them were strong, handsome men. 13 I saw that she’d defiled herself just like her older sister.

14 Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red, 15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them looked like chariot troop officers, similar to Babylonians (whose native land is Chaldea). 16 As soon as she saw those pictures, she lusted for those men, so she sent messengers out to them in Chaldea. 17 The Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they defiled her with their promiscuity. Yes, she’d defiled herself by what she’d done, so she turned herself away from them in disgust. 18 When she’d exposed her nakedness and openly been involved in prostitution, I turned away from her just like I’d turned away in disgust from her sister. 19 Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered when she was a young prostitute in Egypt, 20 and she lusted for her lovers whose private parts were long like those of donkeys, and whose emissions of semen were huge like those of stallions. 21 That’s how you did those shameful things when you were young, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young breasts.
