Ezekiel 23:11-21

11And her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 [this], and was moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her passion than she, and in her fornications moreH4480 than the whoredoms of her sisterH269.

12She lustedH5689 after the children of AsshurH804 [her] neighbours, governorsH6346 and rulers, clothedH3847 most gorgeously, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them attractive youngH1121 menH970.

13And I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930: both took oneH259 wayH1870.

14And she increasedH3254 her fornications; 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 on their headsH7218, all of them captains in appearanceH4758, [after] the likenessH1823 of the children of BabylonH894, of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativity.

16And as soon as she saw them with her eyesH5869, she lustedH5689 after them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778.

17And the children of BabylonH894 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of love, and they defiledH2930 her with their fornication; she too defiledH2930 herself with them, and her soulH5315 was alienated from them.

18And she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakednessH6172; and my soulH5315 was alienated from her, like as my soulH5315 was alienated from her sisterH269.

19Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredoms, calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she playedH2181 the harlot in the landH776 of EgyptH4714;

20and she lustedH5689 after their paramours, whose fleshH1320 is [as] the fleshH1320 of asses, and whose issue is [as] the issue of horsesH5483.

21And thou didst look back to the lewdness of thy youthH5271, in the handling of thy teats by the Egyptians, for the breastsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
