14. “But she increased her whorings, and she looked at men carved on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in red,
15. girded with belts around their loins, flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Baḇelians of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16. “As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17. “And the Baḇelians came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whorings. And she was defiled by them, and her being turned from them in disgust.
18. “And she uncovered her whorings and uncovered her nakedness. Then I turned My being from her in disgust, as My being had turned from her sister in disgust.
19. “And she increased her whorings, remembering the days of her youth, when she whored in the land of Mitsrayim.
20. “And she lusted after her lovers, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose emission is like the emission of horses.
21. “Thus you longed for the wickedness of your youth, when the Mitsrites squeezed your nipples because of the breasts of your youth.
22. “Therefore, Oholiḇah, thus said the Master יהוה, ‘See, I am stirring up your lovers against you, from whom your being turned in disgust, and shall bring them against you from every side:
23. the Baḇelians, and all the Chaldeans, Peqoḏ, and Showa, and Qowa, all the sons of Ashshur with them, all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, officers and men of name, all of them riding on horses.
24. ‘And they shall come against you with battle-axe, chariots, and vehicles, and with an assembly of peoples. They shall set against you armour, and shield, and helmet all around. And I shall commit the judgment to them, and they shall judge you according to their rulings.
25. ‘And I shall set My jealousy against you and they shall deal heatedly with you. They shall cut off your nose and your ears, while the rest of you fall by the sword. Your sons and your daughters they shall take away, while the rest of you shall be consumed by fire.
26. ‘And they shall strip you of your garments and shall take your pretty jewels.
27. ‘And I shall put an end to your wickedness and to your whorings from the land of Mitsrayim, so that you do not lift your eyes to them neither remember Mitsrayim any more.’
28. “For thus said the Master יהוה, ‘See, I am giving you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those from whom your being turned in disgust.
29. ‘And they shall deal with you in hatred, and they shall take away all you have worked for, and they shall leave you naked and bare. And the nakedness of your whorings shall be uncovered, and the wickedness of your whorings.
30. ‘I do this to you because of your whoring after the gentiles, because you have been defiled by their idols.
31. ‘You have walked in the way of your sister, and I shall give her cup into your hand.’
32. “Thus said the Master יהוה, ‘Drink of your sister’s cup, the deep and wide one – you being laughed at and mocked at – for it holds much.
