herself.
8
Neither left she her whoredoms
brought
from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her,
and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
9
Wherefore I
have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
10
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the
sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
11
And
when her sister Aholibah saw
this,
she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her
whoredoms more than her sister in
her
whoredoms.
12
She doted upon the Assyrians
her
neighbours,
captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable
young men.
13
Then I saw that she was defiled,
that
they
took
both one way,
14
And
that
she increased
her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans
pourtrayed with vermilion,
15
Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon
their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land
of their nativity:
16
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent
messengers unto them into Chaldea.
17
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and
they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated
from them.
18
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was
alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
19
Yet she multiplied her
whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in
the land of Egypt.
20
For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh
is as
the flesh of asses, and
whose issue
is like
the issue of horses.
21
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy
youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
22
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against
thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
23
The
Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa,
and
all the Assyrians with them:
all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding
upon horses.
24
And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an
assembly of people,
which
shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I
will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
25
And I will
set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose
and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters;
and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26
They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and
take away thy fair jewels.
27
Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom
brought
from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember
Egypt any more.
28
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand
of them
whom thou hatest, into the hand
of them
from whom thy mind is alienated:
29
And they shall deal
with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the
nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
30
I will
do these
things
unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen,
and
because thou
