Ezekiel 23:11-21
11“Now her sister Oholibah saw this, but she was even more depraved in her lust than Oholah, and made her promiscuous acts worse than those of her sister.
12She lusted after the Assyrians: governors and prefects, warriors splendidly dressed, horsemen riding on steeds, all of them desirable young men.
13And I saw that she had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
14But she increased her promiscuity when she saw male figures carved on the wall, images of the Chaldeans, engraved in bright red,
15wearing belts on their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like officers, a depiction of the Babylonians in Chaldea, their native land.
16At the sight of them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. But after she was defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.
18When she flaunted her promiscuity and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust just as I turned away from her sister.
19Yet she multiplied her acts of promiscuity, remembering the days of her youth when she acted like a prostitute in the land of Egypt
20and lusted after their lovers, whose sexual members were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.
21So you revisited the depravity of your youth, when the Egyptians caressed your nipples to enjoy your youthful breasts.
