Context of Ezekiel 23:10

8She continued the prostitution that she started in Egypt. When she was young, men went to bed with her, caressed her breasts, and treated her like a prostitute. 9“That is why I handed her over to her lovers, to the Assyrians whom she lusted after. They stripped her naked, took away her sons and daughters, and killed her with a sword. Women gossiped about how she was punished. 11“Even though her younger sister Oholibah saw this, Oholibah lusted after men more than her sister did. Oholibah’s prostitution became worse than her sister’s prostitution. 12She lusted after the Assyrians who were nearby. They were governors and commanders in full dress. They were mounted horsemen, all of them desirable young men.
