¹¹“Even though her sister Oholibah saw this, she was wilder and more of a prostitute than Oholah had ever been. ¹²She too was full of lust for the Assyrian noblemen and officers—soldiers in bright uniforms—and for the cavalry officers, all those handsome young men. ¹³I saw that she was completely immoral, that the second sister was as bad as the first.

^14–15“She sank deeper and deeper in her immorality. She was attracted by the images of high Babylonian officials carved into the wall and painted bright red, with sashes round their waists and fancy turbans on their heads. ¹⁶As soon as she saw them, she was filled with lust and sent messengers to them in Babylonia. ¹⁷The Babylonians came to have sex with her. They used her and defiled her so much that finally she became disgusted with them. ¹⁸She exposed herself publicly and let everyone know she was a whore. I was as disgusted with her as I had been with her sister. ¹⁹She became more of a prostitute than ever, acting just as she did as a young woman, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. ²⁰She was filled with lust for oversexed men who had all the lustfulness of donkeys or stallions.”
