Context of Ezekiel 23:10

8She did not give up her harlotry in Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her. They fondled her virgin breasts and poured out their lust on her. 9Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, whom she lusted after. They stripped her naked, they took her sons and her daughters and slaughtered her with the sword. She became notorious among women. Judgments were executed upon her. 11“Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more depraved in her lust than her sister and her promiscuous acts worse. 12She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers, warriors splendidly clad, horsemen riding on horses, all of them handsome young men.
