Ezekiel 23:6-17

6who were clothedH3847 in purpleH8504, 1governorsH6346 and officialsH5461, allH3605 of them handsomeH2531 youngH970 menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 on horsesH5483. 7She bestowedH5414 her 2obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 on them, allH3605 of whom were the choicestH4005 3menH1121 of AssyriaH804; and with allH3605 whomH834 she lustedH5689 after, with allH3605 their idolsH1544 she 4defiledH2930 herself. 8She did not abandonH5800 her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 5from the time in EgyptH4714; for in her youthH5271 6men had sleptH7901 with her, and they handledH6213 her virginH1331 breastsH1717 and pouredH8210 outH8210 their obsceneH8457 practiceH8457 on her. 9ThereforeH3651, I handedH5414H3027 her overH5414 to her 7loversH157, to the 8AssyriansH1121H804, afterH5921 whomH834 she lustedH5689. 10They 9uncoveredH1540 her nakednessH6172; they tookH3947 her sonsH1121 and her daughtersH1323, but they killedH2026 her with the swordH2719. So she becameH1961 a 10subjectH8034 ofH8034 gossipH8034 among womenH802, and they executedH6213 judgmentsH8196 on her.

11“Now her sisterH269 OholibahH172 sawH7200 this, yet she wasH7843 11moreH4480 corruptH7843 in her lustH5691 thanH4480 she, and her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457 were 12moreH4480 thanH4480 the prostitutionH2183 of her sisterH269. 12She lustedH5689 afterH413 the 1314AssyriansH1121H804, 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 15the sameH259 wayH1870. 14So she increasedH3254 her obsceneH8457 practicesH8457. And she sawH7200 menH376 16carvedH2707 on the wallH7023, imagesH6754 of the 17ChaldeansH3778 drawnH2710 in brightH8350 redH8350, 15wearingH2289 beltsH232 aroundH2289 their waistsH4975, with flowingH5628 turbansH2871 on their headsH7218, allH3605 of them lookingH4758 like officersH7991, 18likeH1823 the 19BabyloniansH1121H894 in ChaldeaH3778, the landH776 of their birthH4138. 16And 20when she sawH4758H5869 them she 21lustedH5689 afterH5921 them and sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them in ChaldeaH3778. 17And the 2223BabyloniansH1121H894 cameH935 to her to the bedH4904 of loveH1730 and defiledH2930 her with their obsceneH8457 practiceH8457. And when she had beenH2930 defiledH2930 by them, 24she turnedH3363 awayH3363 from them inH3363 disgustH3363.
