| 7 | Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself. | She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted. | And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself. |
