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.)
22 “Now then, Oholibah, this is what I, the Sovereign Lord, am saying to you. You are tired of those lovers, but I will make them angry with you and bring them to surround you.
23 I will bring all the Babylonians and Chaldeans, men from Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians. I will gather all those handsome young noblemen and officers, all those important officials and high-ranking cavalry officers.
