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.
