Ezekiel 23:6-17
6clothedH3847 in blueH8504, governorsH6346 and commandersH5461, allH3605 desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 mounted onH7392 steedsH5483. 7She offeredH5414 sexual favorsH8457 to allH5921H3605 the eliteH4005H1121 of AssyriaH804. She defiled herselfH2930 with allH3605 the idolsH1544 of those for whomH834 she lustedH5689.
She did notH3808 give upH5800 the prostitutionH8457 she began in EgyptH4714, whenH3588 men sleptH7901 with herH853 in her youthH5271H1992, caressedH6213 her virginH1331 bosomH1717, and poured outH8210 their lustH8457 upon herH5921. 9ThereforeH3651 I delivered herH5414 into the handsH3027 of her loversH157H3027, the AssyriansH1121H804 for whomH834 she lustedH5689. 10TheyH1992 exposedH1540 her nakednessH6172, seizedH3947 her sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323, and put herH2026 to the swordH2719. Thus she becameH1961 a bywordH8034 among womenH802, and they executedH6213 judgmentH8196 against her.
11Her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet in her lustH5691 andH853 prostitutionH8457H2183 she was more depravedH7843 than her sisterH269. 12She too lustedH5689 afterH413 the AssyriansH1121H804—governorsH6346 and commandersH5461, warriorsH7138 dressedH3847 in splendorH4358, horsemenH6571 riding onH7392 steedsH5483, allH3605 desirableH2531 young menH970. 13And I sawH7200 thatH3588 she too had defiled herselfH2930; both of themH8147 had taken the sameH259 pathH1870.
14But Oholibah carriedH3254H413 her prostitution even furtherH8457. She sawH7200 the menH582 portrayedH2707 onH5921 the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778,1 engravedH2710 in vermilionH8350, 15wearingH2289 beltsH232 on their waistsH4975 and flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218; allH3605 of them lookedH4758 like officersH7991 of the BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778,2 the landH776 of their birthH4138. 16At the sight of themH4758H5869, she lustedH5689 for themH5921 and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to themH413 in ChaldeaH3778. 17Then the BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to herH413, to the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and in their lustH8457 they defiledH2930 herH853. But after she had been defiledH2930 by them, sheH5315 turned away in disgustH3363.
