⁵ “Oholah played the whore ^(A)while she was mine, and ^(B)she lusted after her lovers ^(C)the Assyrians, warriors

⁸ She did not give up her whoring ^(A)that she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her.

¹⁴ But she carried her whoring further. She saw men ^(A)portrayed on the wall, the ^(B)images of ^(C)the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, ¹⁵ wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. ¹⁶ When she saw them, she lusted after them and ^(D)sent messengers to them ^(E)in Chaldea. ¹⁷ And the Babylonians came to her ^(F)into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, ^(G)she turned from them in disgust.
