Ezekiel 23:11-21

11Ohalah's sister, Oholibah, saw this, but she did even worse things than her sister. She wanted other lovers even more than her sister did.

12She, too, wanted Assyrian men to be her lovers. They were army officers and leaders. They were brave soldiers in beautiful clothes. Some of them rode on horses. They were all strong young men.

13I saw that she was living in the same way that her sister had done. Like her sister, she made herself unclean.

14But Oholibah did even worse things, as a prostitute does. She saw pictures of men on the walls. They were bright red pictures that people had made of Babylonian men.

15The men wore belts around their bodies. They wore large cloths around their heads. They looked like Babylonian army officers who came from Chaldea.

16When Oholibah saw these pictures, she wanted the men to be her lovers. She sent messages to them in Babylonia.

17The Babylonian soldiers came to have sex with her. They did many disgusting things with her so that she was unclean. After they had done this to her, she became upset. She turned away from them.

18She was not ashamed to have sex with many other men. Everyone knew that she lived as a prostitute. So I was very upset. I turned away from her, as I had turned away from her sister.

19But she wanted more and more men to be her lovers. She remembered how she had lived as a prostitute in Egypt when she was a young woman.

20She wanted those strong men to be her lovers. They had sex in a strong way, like donkeys or horses.

21Yes, Oholibah, you thought about the disgusting ways that you had sex when you were young. You wanted men to touch your breasts and make love to you as the Egyptian men had done.
