15 Girded with belts around their waists,
Flowing turbans on their heads,
All of them looking like captains,
In the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea,
The land of their nativity.
Flowing turbans on their heads,
All of them looking like captains,
In the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea,
The land of their nativity.
17 “Then the1 Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love,
And they defiled her with their immorality;
So she was defiled by them, aand alienated herself from them.
And they defiled her with their immorality;
So she was defiled by them, aand alienated herself from them.
18 She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness.
Then aI balienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
Then aI balienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
19 “Yet she multiplied her harlotry
In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
aWhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
aWhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 For she lusted for her1 paramours,
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
