14But she increased her promiscuity when she saw male figures carved on the wall,g images of the Chaldeans, engraved in bright red,h 15wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers, a depiction of the Babylonians in Chaldea, their native land. 16At the sight of themA she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.i 17Then the Babylonians came to her,j to the bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. But after she was defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18When she flaunted her promiscuity and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust just as I turned away from her sister.k 19Yet she multiplied her acts of promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth when she acted like a prostitute in the land of Egypt 20and lusted after their lovers, whose sexual membersB were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions. 21So you revisited the depravity of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your nipples to enjoy your youthful breasts.l
