Aholibah (Jerusalem) Follows Her Sister’s Sin

11

"Her sister Oholivah saw this; nevertheless she was worse than her sister in lusting and likewise in whoring.

12

She lusted after the men from Ashur, governors and rulers, warriors dressed to perfection, skilled horsemen, all of them good-looking young men.

13

I saw that she had defiled herself; both sisters had gone down the same path.

14

She prostituted herself more than ever; because she saw wall-carvings of men, depicting the Kasdim in vermilion

15

with sashes wrapped around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like military men, the very image of men of Bavel born in the land of the Kasdim.

16

The moment she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in the land of the Kasdim;

17

and the men of Bavel climbed into her "love bed" and defiled her with their lust. She was defiled by them, and then filled with revulsion at them.

18

Thus did she reveal her fornication and expose her private parts. When this happened, I was filled with revulsion at her, just as I had been filled with revulsion at her sister.

19

Still she kept increasing her whoring, remembering the days when she was young, fornicating in the land of Egypt

20

Yes, she lusted after their male prostitutes, whose members are like those of donkeys and who ejaculate like stallions.

21

You yearned for the lewdness of your girlhood, when the Egyptians used to fondle your nipples and caress your young breasts
