8. Besides that, she never stopped her love affair with Egypt. Egypt made love to her when she was a young girl. Egypt was the first lover to touch her young breasts. Egypt poured his untrue love on her.
9. So I let her lovers have her. She wanted Assyria, so I gave her to them!
10. They raped her. They took her children and killed her. They punished her, and women still talk about her.
11. “Her younger sister Oholibah saw all these things happen. But Oholibah sinned more than her sister did! She was more unfaithful than Oholah.
12. She wanted the Assyrian leaders and officers. She wanted those soldiers in blue uniforms riding their horses. They were all handsome young men.
13. I saw that both women were going to ruin their lives with the same mistakes.
14. “Oholibah continued to be unfaithful to me. In Babylon, she saw pictures of men carved on the walls. These were pictures of Chaldean men wearing their red uniforms.
15. They wore belts around their waists and long turbans on their heads. All those men looked like chariot officers. They all looked like native-born Babylonian men,

17. So the Babylonian men came to her bed to have sex with her. They used her and made her so filthy that she became disgusted with them.
18. “Oholibah let everyone see that she was unfaithful. She let so many men enjoy her naked body that I became disgusted with her—just as I had become disgusted with her sister.
19. But Oholibah thought about her time as a prostitute in Egypt when she was young, and she turned to even more prostitution.
20. She remembered the lovers who excited her there, who were like animals in their sexual desires and abilities.
