Ezekiel 23:11-21

11And her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet was she moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were moreH4480 than the whoredoms of her sisterH269. 12She doted upon the Assyrians, governorsH6346 and rulers, her neighbors, clothedH3847 most gorgeously, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirable youngH1121 menH970. 13And I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930; they both took oneH259 wayH1870. 14And she increasedH3254 her whoredoms; for she sawH7200 menH376 portrayed upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 portrayed with vermilionH8350, 15girded with girdles upon their loinsH4975, with flowing turbans upon their headsH7218, all of them princes to look upon, after the likenessH1823 of the Babylonians in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativity. 16And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778. 17And the Babylonians cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of love, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soulH5315 was alienated from them. 18So she uncoveredH1540 her whoredoms, and uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my soulH5315 was alienated from her, like as my soulH5315 was alienated from her sisterH269. 19Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredoms, rememberingH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had playedH2181 the harlot in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 20And she doted upon their paramours, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horsesH5483. 21Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youthH5271, in the handling of thy bosom by the Egyptians for the breastsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
