5 And Oholah prostituted herself ⌊while she was still mine⌋,e and she lusted for her lovers, for Assyria who was nearby, 6 clothed in blue cloth, governors and prefects, ⌊handsome young men⌋f and all of them horsemen, ⌊experts on horseback⌋.g 7 And she bestowed her fornication on them, on the choice ones of the ⌊Assyrians⌋,h all of them, and with every one after which she lusted; with all of their idols she defiled herself. 8 And her whorings from the time of Egypt she did not abandon, for they slept with her in her childhood, and they caressed the bosoms of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication on her. 9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the ⌊Assyrians⌋i ⌊after whom she lusted⌋.j 10 They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments against her.

11 “And though Oholibah her sister saw, yet in her lust ⌊she behaved more corruptly than her⌋,k and her whoring was more than the prostitution of her sister. 12 She lusted after the ⌊Assyrians⌋,l governors and prefects, warriorsm clothed inn perfection,o ⌊expert horsemen⌋,p all of them ⌊handsome young men⌋.q 13 And I saw that she was defiled; ⌊they had both taken the same path⌋!r 14 And she increased her whorings, and she saw men carveds on the wall, images of Chaldeanst carved in red, 15 belted with a belt atu their waist with turbans on their heads, all of them giving the appearance of adjutants,v the imagew of the ⌊Babylonians⌋;x Chaldea was the land of their birth. 16 And she lusted for them ⌊when her eyes saw them⌋,y and she sent messengers to them at Chaldea. 17 And so the ⌊Babylonians⌋z came to her for the bed of lovemaking; and they defiled her with their fornication, and she was defiled by them, and she turned from them. 18 And she revealed her whorings, and she revealed her nakedness, and so I turned from her ⌊just as⌋a I turned from her sister. 19 Yetb she increased her whorings, ⌊recalling⌋c the days of her childhood when she was prostitutedd in the land of Egypt. 20 And she lusted after her male lovers whose genitalia were the genitalia of male donkeys and their seminal emission was the seminal emission of horses. 21 And you longed after the obscene conduct of your youth when your bosom was caressed by Egypt, fondling your young breasts.
