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.
24. They shall invade you with armor, chariots and wagons, a horde of peoples; they will array against you on every side bucklers and shields and helmets. I will give them the right of judgment, and they will judge you according to their standards.
