12. She lusted after the Assyrians her neighbors, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13. Then I saw that she was defiled, that they both took the same way.
14. So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15. girded with belts on their loins, exceeding in dyed attire on their heads, all of them looking like officials, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
16. And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17. The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their harlotry, and she was polluted with them, and her soul became disgusted with them.
18. So she uncovered her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness. Then My soul became disgusted with her, as My soul became disgusted with her sister.
19. Yet she multiplied her harlotries while remembering the days of her youth in which she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20. For she lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21. Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.
22. Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God: I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom you were alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23. the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them. All of them are desirable young men, captains and rulers, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24. They shall come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples. They shall set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet. And I will set the judgment before them, and they shall judge you according to their customs.
