“But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall, figures of Chaldeans portrayed in red

But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion

“Then she carried her prostitution even further. She fell in love with pictures that were painted on a wall—pictures of Babylonian military officers, outfitted in striking red uniforms.

But she increased her promiscuity when she saw male figures carved on the wall,  images of the Chaldeans, engraved in bright red

and that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion

But she increased her harlotry; She looked at men portrayed on the wall, Images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion

“Her sister Oholibah saw all this, but she became even worse than her sister in lust and whoring, if you can believe it. She also went crazy with lust for Assyrians: ambassadors and governors, military men smartly dressed and mounted on fine horses—the Assyrian elite. And I saw that she also had become incredibly filthy. Both women followed the same path. But Oholibah surpassed her sister. When she saw figures of Babylonians carved in relief on the walls and painted red, fancy belts around their waists, elaborate turbans on their heads, all of them looking important—famous Babylonians!—she went wild with lust and sent invitations to them in Babylon. The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them. Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world.

So she increased her obscene practices. And she saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans drawn in bright red

But Oholibah carried her depravity further, for she saw men pictured on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans (Babylonians) sketched and portrayed in vermilion (bright red pigment)

But she increased her prostitution. She saw men carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans carved in bright red
