¹¹“Her sister Jerusalem saw what happened, but she became worse than her sister in her sexual desire and prostitution. ¹²She also desired the Assyrians, who were all soldiers in beautiful uniforms—handsome young captains and lieutenants riding horses. ¹³I saw that both girls were alike; both were prostitutes.

¹⁴“But Jerusalem went even further. She saw carvings of Babylonian men on a wall. They wore red ¹⁵and had belts around their waists and turbans on their heads. They all looked like chariot officers born in Babylonia. ¹⁶When she saw them, she wanted to have sexual relations with them and sent messengers to them in Babylonia. ¹⁷So these Babylonian men came and had sexual relations with her and made her unclean. After that, she became sick of them. ¹⁸But she continued her prostitution so openly that everyone knew about it. And I finally became sick of her, as I had her sister. ¹⁹But she remembered how she was a young prostitute in Egypt, so she took part in even more prostitution. ²⁰She wanted men who behaved like animals in their sexual desire.
