Ezekiel 23:11-21

11“Now her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet she wasH7843 1moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 thanH4480 she, and her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 were 2moreH4480 thanH4480 the prostitutionH2183 of her sisterH269. 12She lustedH5689 afterH413 the 34AssyriansH1121H804, governorsH6346 and officialsH5461, the onesH7138 nearH7138, opulentlyH4358 dressedH3847, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 on horsesH5483, allH3605 of them handsomeH2531 youngH970 menH970. 13And I sawH7200 that she had defiledH2930 herself; they bothH8147 took 5the sameH259 wayH1870. 14So she increasedH3254 her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457. And she sawH7200 menH376 6carvedH2707 on the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the 7ChaldeansH3778 drawnH2710 in brightH8350 redH8350, 15wearingH2289 beltsH232 aroundH2289 their waistsH4975, with flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218, allH3605 of them lookingH4758 like officersH7991, 8likeH1823 the 9BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their birthH4138. 16And 10when she sawH4758H5869 them she 11lustedH5689 afterH5921 them and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them in ChaldeaH3778. 17And the 1213BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to her to the bedH4904 of loveH1730 and defiledH2930 her with their obsceneH8457 practiceH8457. And when she had beenH2930 defiledH2930 by them, 14she turnedH3363 awayH3363 from them inH3363 disgustH3363. 18She 15exposedH1540 her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 and exposedH1540 her nakednessH6172; then 16I turnedH3363 awayH3363 from her inH3363 17disgustH3363, justH3512 asH3512 18I had turnedH5361 awayH5361 from her 19sisterH269 inH5361 disgustH5361. 19Yet she multipliedH7235 her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457, rememberingH2142 the daysH3117 of her youthH5271, whenH834 she prostitutedH2181 herself in the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 20She 20lustedH5689 afterH5921 their loversH6370, whoseH834 fleshH1320 is like the fleshH1320 of donkeysH2543 and whose dischargeH2231 is like the dischargeH2231 of horsesH5483. 21So you longedH6485 forH6485 the 21outrageousH2154 sinH2154 of your youthH5271, when 22the EgyptiansH4714 handledH6213 your breastsH1717 becauseH4616 of the breastsH7699 of your youthH5271.
