11Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt than she in her lusting and in her prostitutions, which were worse than those of her sister.* 12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriorsx clothed in full armor, mounted horsemen, all of them handsome young men.* 13And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14But she carried her prostitutions further; she saw male figures carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,* 15with belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers—a picture of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16When she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their lust, and after she defiled herself with them, she turned from them in disgust. 18When she carried on her prostitutions so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned from her sister.* 19Yet she increased her prostitutions, remembering the days of her youth, when she prostituted herself in the land of Egypt 20and lusted after her paramours there, whose members were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.*
