¹²Impudently prostituting herself to the children of the Assyrians, the princes, and rulers that came to her, clothed with divers colours, to the horsemen that rode upon horses, and to young men all of great beauty.

¹³And I saw that she was defiled, and that they both took one way.

¹⁴And she increased her fornications: and when she had seen men painted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans set forth in colours,

¹⁵And girded with girdles about their reins, and with dyed turbans on their heads, the resemblance of all the captains, the likeness of the sons of Babylon, and of the land of the Chaldeans wherein they were born,

¹⁶She doted upon them with the lust of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them into Chaldea.

¹⁷And when the sons of Babylon were come to her to the bed of love, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was glutted with them.

¹⁸And she discovered her fornications, and discovered her disgrace: and my soul was alienated from her, as my soul was alienated from her sister.

¹⁹For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

²⁰And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.
