Ezekiel 23:11-21
11“Now her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet she was 1moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 thanH4480 she, and her harlotriesH8457 were moreH4480 thanH4480 the harlotriesH2183 of her sisterH269. 12She lustedH5689 afterH413 the 23AssyriansH1121H804, governorsH6346 and officialsH5461, the onesH7138 nearH7138, magnificentlyH4358 dressedH3847, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 on horsesH5483, allH3605 of them desirableH2531 youngH970 menH970. 13I sawH7200 that she had defiledH2930 herself; they bothH8147 took 4the sameH259 wayH1870. 14So she increasedH3254 her harlotriesH8457. And she sawH7200 menH376 5portrayedH2707 on the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the 6ChaldeansH3778 portrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350, 15girdedH2289 with beltsH232 on their loinsH4975, with flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218, allH3605 of them lookingH4758 like officersH7991, 7likeH1823 the 8BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their birthH4138. 169When she sawH4758H5869 them she 10lustedH5689 afterH5921 them and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them in ChaldeaH3778. 17The 1112BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to her to the bedH4904 of loveH1730 and defiledH2930 her with their harlotryH8457. And when she had beenH2930 defiledH2930 by them, 13she becameH3363 disgustedH3363 with them. 18She 14uncoveredH1540 her harlotriesH8457 and uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172; then 15I becameH3363 16disgustedH3363 with her, as 17I had becomeH5361 disgustedH5361 with her 18sisterH269. 19Yet she multipliedH7235 her harlotriesH8457, rememberingH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, whenH834 she playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 20She 19lustedH5689 afterH5921 their paramoursH6370, whoseH834 fleshH1320 is like the fleshH1320 of donkeysH2543 and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483. 21Thus you longedH6485 for the 20lewdnessH2154 of your youthH5271, when 21the EgyptiansH4714 handledH6213 your bosomH1717 becauseH4616 of the breastsH7699 of your youthH5271.
