14. but she was even more promiscuous. She saw men carved in wall reliefs, images of Chaldeans outlined in vermilion,
15. wearing only loincloths around their hips and flowing headbands on their heads. All of them had the appearance of warriors of the third rank, the likeness of Babylonians whose native land is Chaldea.
16. Aroused just by looking at them, she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17. The Babylonians came to her to lie down and make love with her, defiling her with their seductions. But once she had defiled herself with them, she recoiled from them in disgust.
18. When her seductions became known and her nakedness exposed, I recoiled from her just as I had recoiled from her sister.
19. But she added to her promiscuities, bringing to mind her youthful days when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20. She lusted after their male consorts, whose sexual organs were like those of donkeys, and whose ejaculation was like that of horses.
21. She relived the wicked days of her youth, when the Egyptians touched and fondled her young and nubile breasts.

23. Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, all the Assyrians with them, the most handsome young men, all of them governors and officers, career officers and conscripts, all of them on horseback.
