Ezekiel 23:6-17

6who were clothed in purple, 1governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7She bestowed her harlotries on them, all of whom were the choicest 2men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she 3defiled herself. 8She did not forsake her harlotries 4from the time in Egypt; for in her youth 5men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their 6lust on her. 9Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her 7lovers, into the hand of the 8Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10They 9uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they slew her with the sword. Thus she became a 10byword among women, and they executed judgments on her.

11“Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was 11more corrupt in her lust than she, and her harlotries were more than the harlotries of her sister. 12She lusted after the 1213Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. 13I saw that she had defiled herself; they both took 14the same way. 14So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men 15portrayed on the wall, images of the 16Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 15girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, 17like the 18Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth. 1619When she saw them she 20lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17The 2122Babylonians came to her to the bed of love and defiled her with their harlotry. And when she had been defiled by them, 23she became disgusted with them.
