16 At the sight of them, she lusted for them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

19 Yet she multiplied her promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt
20 and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
21 So you revisited the indecency of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your bosom and pressed your young breasts.
