Scripture focus

17. And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them. 18. So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. 19. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

Her mind was alienated. Judah became satiated with her Babylonian alliance and sought the aid of Egypt. Verses 17-19 describe this vacillating policy (see 2 Kings 24; 25).
