¹⁴Yet, she carried her prostitution even further. She saw pictures of men carved on walls. They were figures of Babylonian men, painted in bright red. ¹⁵The men had belts around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads. All of them looked like Babylonian officers who were born in Babylon. ¹⁶She fell in love with them at first sight and sent messengers to them in Babylonia. ¹⁷So these men came from Babylon, went to bed with her, and dishonored her with their lust. After they had dishonored her, she turned away from them in disgust.

¹⁸“She carried out her prostitution openly, and she lay around naked. I turned away from her in disgust as I had turned away from her sister. ¹⁹She remembered how she had been a prostitute in Egypt when she was young. So she took part in even more prostitution. ²⁰She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose semen was like that of horses. ²¹So she longed to do the sinful things she did when she was young in Egypt, when young men caressed and fondled her breasts.
