Ezekiel 23:11-21

11And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200 this, she was more corruptH7843 in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in her whoredomsH2183.12

12She dotedH5689 upon the AssyriansH804H1121 her neighboursH7138, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847 most gorgeouslyH4358, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970.

13Then I sawH7200 that she was defiledH2930, that they took bothH8147 oneH259 wayH1870,

14And that she increasedH3254 her whoredomsH8457: for when she sawH7200 menH582 pourtrayedH2707 upon the wallH7023, the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350,

15GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loinsH4975, exceedingH5628 in dyed attireH2871 upon their headsH7218, all of them princesH7991 to look toH4758, after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH894H1121 of ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their nativityH4138:

16And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyesH5869, she dotedH5689 upon them, and sentH7971 messengersH4397 unto them into ChaldeaH3778.3

17And the BabyloniansH894H1121 cameH935 to her into the bedH4904 of loveH1730, and they defiledH2930 her with their whoredomH8457, and she was pollutedH2930 with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from them.45

18So she discoveredH1540 her whoredomsH8457, and discoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172: then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363 from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361 from her sisterH269.

19Yet she multipliedH7235 her whoredomsH8457, in calling to remembranceH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, wherein she had played the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714.

20For she dotedH5689 upon their paramoursH6370, whose fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of assesH2543, and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.

21Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485 the lewdnessH2154 of thy youthH5271, in bruisingH6213 thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youthH5271.
