Ezekiel 23:2-20

2“SonH1121 of manH120, there were 1twoH8147 womenH802, the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 motherH517; 3and they playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in EgyptH4714. They 2playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in their youthH5271; thereH8033 their breastsH7699 were pressedH4600 and thereH8033 their virginH1331 bosomH1717 was handledH6213. 4Their namesH8034 were OholahH170 the elderH1419 and OholibahH172 her sisterH269. And they becameH1961 Mine, and they boreH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. And as for their namesH8034, SamariaH8111 is OholahH170 and JerusalemH3389 is OholibahH172.

5“OholahH170 playedH2181 the harlotH2181 3whileH8478 she was MineH8478; and she lustedH5689 afterH5921 her loversH157, afterH413 the 4AssyriansH804, her neighborsH7138, 6who were clothedH3847 in purpleH8504, 5governorsH6346 and officialsH5461, allH3605 of them desirableH2531 youngH970 menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 on horsesH5483. 7She bestowedH5414 her harlotriesH8457 on them, allH3605 of whom were the choicestH4005 6menH1121 of AssyriaH804; and with allH3605 whomH834 she lustedH5689 after, with allH3605 their idolsH1544 she 7defiledH2930 herself. 8She did not forsakeH5800 her harlotriesH8457 8from the time in EgyptH4714; for in her youthH5271 9men had lainH7901 with her, and they handledH6213 her virginH1331 bosomH1717 and pouredH8210 out their 10lustH8457 on her. 9ThereforeH3651, I gaveH5414 her into the handH3027 of her 11loversH157, into the handH3027 of the 12AssyriansH1121H804, afterH5921 whomH834 she lustedH5689. 10They 13uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172; they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, but they slewH2026 her with the swordH2719. Thus she becameH1961 a 14bywordH8034 among womenH802, and they executedH6213 judgmentsH8196 on her.

11“Now her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet she was 15moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 thanH4480 she, and her harlotriesH8457 were moreH4480 thanH4480 the harlotriesH2183 of her sisterH269. 12She lustedH5689 afterH413 the 1617AssyriansH1121H804, 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 18the sameH259 wayH1870. 14So she increasedH3254 her harlotriesH8457. And she sawH7200 menH376 19portrayedH2707 on the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the 20ChaldeansH3778 portrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350, 15girdedH2289 with beltsH232 on their loinsH4975, with flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218, allH3605 of them lookingH4758 like officersH7991, 21likeH1823 the 22BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their birthH4138. 1623When she sawH4758H5869 them she 24lustedH5689 afterH5921 them and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them in ChaldeaH3778. 17The 2526BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to her to the bedH4904 of loveH1730 and defiledH2930 her with their harlotryH8457. And when she had beenH2930 defiledH2930 by them, 27she becameH3363 disgustedH3363 with them. 18She 28uncoveredH1540 her harlotriesH8457 and uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172; then 29I becameH3363 30disgustedH3363 with her, as 31I had becomeH5361 disgustedH5361 with her 32sisterH269. 19Yet she multipliedH7235 her harlotriesH8457, rememberingH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, whenH834 she playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 20She 33lustedH5689 afterH5921 their paramoursH6370, whoseH834 fleshH1320 is like the fleshH1320 of donkeysH2543 and whose issueH2231 is like the issueH2231 of horsesH5483.
