Ezekiel 23:6-17

6who were clothedH3847 in purpleH8504, 1governorsH6346 and officialsH5461, allH3605 of them desirableH2531 youngH970 menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 on horsesH5483. 7She bestowedH5414 her harlotriesH8457 on them, allH3605 of whom were the choicestH4005 2menH1121 of AssyriaH804; and with allH3605 whomH834 she lustedH5689 after, with allH3605 their idolsH1544 she 3defiledH2930 herself. 8She did not forsakeH5800 her harlotriesH8457 4from the time in EgyptH4714; for in her youthH5271 5men had lainH7901 with her, and they handledH6213 her virginH1331 bosomH1717 and pouredH8210 out their 6lustH8457 on her. 9ThereforeH3651, I gaveH5414 her into the handH3027 of her 7loversH157, into the handH3027 of the 8AssyriansH1121H804, afterH5921 whomH834 she lustedH5689. 10They 9uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172; they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, but they slewH2026 her with the swordH2719. Thus she becameH1961 a 10bywordH8034 among womenH802, and they executedH6213 judgmentsH8196 on her.

11“Now her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet she was 11moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 thanH4480 she, and her harlotriesH8457 were moreH4480 thanH4480 the harlotriesH2183 of her sisterH269. 12She lustedH5689 afterH413 the 1213AssyriansH1121H804, 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 14the sameH259 wayH1870. 14So she increasedH3254 her harlotriesH8457. And she sawH7200 menH376 15portrayedH2707 on the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the 16ChaldeansH3778 portrayedH2710 with vermilionH8350, 15girdedH2289 with beltsH232 on their loinsH4975, with flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218, allH3605 of them lookingH4758 like officersH7991, 17likeH1823 the 18BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their birthH4138. 1619When she sawH4758H5869 them she 20lustedH5689 afterH5921 them and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them in ChaldeaH3778. 17The 2122BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to her to the bedH4904 of loveH1730 and defiledH2930 her with their harlotryH8457. And when she had beenH2930 defiledH2930 by them, 23she becameH3363 disgustedH3363 with them.
