10. They exposed her nakedness; her sons and daughters they took away, and her they killed with the sword. She became a byword for women because of the sentence carried out against her.
11. Although her sister Oholibah saw all this, her lust was more depraved than her sister’s; she outdid her in prostitution.
12. She too lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officers, warriors impeccably clothed, mounted on horses, all of them handsome young soldiers.
13. I saw that she had defiled herself—now both had gone down the same path.
14. She went further in her prostitution: She saw male figures drawn on the wall, images of Chaldeans drawn with vermilion,
15. with sashes tied about their waists, flowing turbans on their heads, all looking like chariot warriors, images of Babylonians, natives of Chaldea.
16. As soon as she set eyes on them she lusted for them, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17. The Babylonians came to her, to her love couch; they defiled her with their impurities. But as soon as they had defiled her, she recoiled from them.
18. When her prostitution was discovered and her shame revealed, I recoiled from her as I had recoiled from her sister.
19. But she increased her prostitution, recalling the days of her youth when she had served as a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20. She lusted for the lechers of Egypt, whose members are like those of donkeys, whose thrusts are like those of stallions.
21. You reverted to the depravity of your youth, when Egyptians fondled your breasts, caressing your young nipples.
22. Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: I will now stir up your lovers against you, those from whom you recoiled, and I will bring them against you from every side:
23. the men of Babylon and all of Chaldea, Pekod, Shoa and Koa, along with all the Assyrians, handsome young soldiers, all of them governors and officers, charioteers and warriors, all of them horsemen.
