14-15 “She sank deeper and deeper in her immorality. She was attracted by the images of high Babylonian officials carved into the wall and painted bright red, with sashes around their waists and fancy turbans on their heads.
16 As soon as she saw them, she was filled with lust and sent messengers to them in Babylonia.
17 The Babylonians came to have sex with her. They used her and defiled her so much that finally she became disgusted with them.
18 She exposed herself publicly and let everyone know she was a whore. I was as disgusted with her as I had been with her sister.
19 She became more of a prostitute than ever, acting the way she did as a young woman, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 She was filled with lust for oversexed men who had all the lustfulness of donkeys or stallions.” (
21 Oholibah, you wanted to repeat the immorality you were guilty of as a young woman in Egypt, where men played with your breasts and you lost your virginity.)
