Ezekiel 23:6-17
6clothedH3847 with blueH8504, governorsH6346 and rulers, all of them attractive youngH970 menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.
7And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of AsshurH804; and with all after whom she lustedH5689, with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself.
8Neither leftH5800 she her whoredoms [brought] from EgyptH4714; for in her youthH5271 they had lainH7901 with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their fornication upon her.
9ThereforeH3651 I gaveH5414 her into the handH3027 of her loversH157, into the handH3027 of the children of AsshurH804, after whom she lustedH5689.
10These discovered her nakednessH6172, they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, and slewH2026 her with the swordH2719; and she becameH1961 a nameH8034 among womenH802; and they executed judgment upon her.
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.
