¹⁴ They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse.

They were dressed like chariot officers from the land of Babylonia.^{[b] 16} When she saw these paintings, she longed to give herself to them, so she sent messengers to Babylonia to invite them to come to her.
