All of them choice men of Assyria;
And with all for whom she lusted,
With all their idols, she defiled herself.
For in her youth they had lain with her,
Pressed her virgin bosom,
And poured out their immorality upon her.
Into the hand of her lovers,
Into the hand of the aAssyrians,
For whom she lusted.
Took away her sons and daughters,
And slew her with the sword;
She became a byword among women,
For they had executed judgment on her.
The Younger Sister, Jerusalem
bCaptains and rulers,
Clothed most gorgeously,
Horsemen riding on horses,
All of them desirable young men.
She looked at men portrayed on the wall,
Images of aChaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
Flowing turbans on their heads,
All of them looking like captains,
In the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea,
The land of their nativity.
And they defiled her with their immorality;
So she was defiled by them, aand alienated herself from them.
Then aI balienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
aWhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
When the aEgyptians pressed your bosom
Because of your youthful breasts.
Judgment on Jerusalem
a‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you,
From whom you have alienated yourself,
And I will bring them against you from every side:
All the Chaldeans,
aPekod, Shoa, Koa,
bAll the Assyrians with them,
All of them desirable young men,
Governors and rulers,
Captains and men of renown,
All of them riding on horses.
