16. and Oholibah wanted them.
17. So the Babylonian men came to her bed to have sex with her. They used her and made her so filthy that she became disgusted with them.
18. “Oholibah let everyone see that she was unfaithful. She let so many men enjoy her naked body that I became disgusted with her—just as I had become disgusted with her sister.
19. But Oholibah thought about her time as a prostitute in Egypt when she was young, and she turned to even more prostitution.
20. She remembered the lovers who excited her there, who were like animals in their sexual desires and abilities.
21. “Oholibah, you dreamed of those times when you were young, when your lovers touched and handled your young breasts.
22. So Oholibah, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘You became disgusted with your lovers, but I will bring them here, and they will surround you.
23. I will bring all the men from Babylon, especially the Chaldeans. I will bring the men from Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the men from Assyria. I will bring all the leaders and officers, all those desirable young men, chariot officers, and handpicked soldiers riding their horses.
24. That crowd of men will come to you in large groups, riding on their horses and in their chariots. They will have their spears, shields, and helmets. They will gather around you, and I will tell them what you have done to me. Then they will punish you their own way.
25. I will show you how jealous I am. They will become angry and hurt you. They will cut off your nose and ears. They will kill you with a sword. Then they will take your children and burn whatever is left of you.
26. They will take your nice clothes and jewelry.
27. So I will stop your dreams about your love affair with Egypt. You will never again look for them. You will never remember Egypt again!’”
28. This is what the Lord GOD says: “I am giving you to the men you hate. I am giving you to the men you became disgusted with.
