12. She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers, warriors splendidly clad, horsemen riding on horses, all of them handsome young men.
13. I saw that she defiled herself; they both went the same way.
14. But she kept increasing her harlotry. She saw men carved on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans carved in red,
15. girded with sashes on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them had the appearance of officers, the likeness of Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16. As soon as she saw them she lusted after them. She sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17. The Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. Yet when she was defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.
18. When she exposed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness, My soul was disgusted by her, just as My soul was disgusted by her sister.
19. Yet she multiplied her harlotry—remembering the days of her youth, when she was a harlot in the land of Egypt.
20. She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like that of horses.
21. So you revisited the promiscuity of your youth, when the Egyptians used to fondle your bosom and youthful breasts.
22. “Therefore Oholibah, thus says Adonai Elohim, behold, I will stir up your lovers against you, from whom you turned in disgust. I will bring them against you on every side:
23. the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa and Koa and all the Assyrians with them, handsome young men, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and officers, all of them riding on horses.
