17. “Then the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love,And they defiled her with their immorality;So she was defiled by them, and alienated herself from them.
18. She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness.Then I alienated Myself from her,As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
19. “Yet she multiplied her harlotryIn calling to remembrance the days of her youth,When she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20. For she lusted for her paramours,Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21. Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth,When the Egyptians pressed your bosomBecause of your youthful breasts.
22. “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord God:‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you,From whom you have alienated yourself,And I will bring them against you from every side:
23. The Babylonians,All the Chaldeans,Pekod, Shoa, Koa,All the Assyrians with them,All of them desirable young men,Governors and rulers,Captains and men of renown,All of them riding on horses.
