8. She did not forsake her harlotries from the time in Egypt. For in her youth they lay with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured their harlotry upon her.
9. Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians after whom she doted.
10. They uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters and killed her with the sword. And she became a byword among women, for they had executed judgments on her.
11. Now her sister Oholibah saw this, but she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her harlotries more than her sister in her harlotries.
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.
