Ezekiel 23:11-21

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.

13I saw that she defiled herself; they both went the same way.

14But she kept increasing her harlotry. She saw men carved on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans carved in red,

15girded with sashes on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them had the appearance of officers, the likeness of Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their birth.

16As soon as she saw them she lusted after them. She sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17The Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and defiled her with their lust. Yet when she was defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust.

18When she exposed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness, My soul was disgusted by her, just as My soul was disgusted by her sister.

19Yet she multiplied her harlotry—remembering the days of her youth, when she was a harlot in the land of Egypt.

20She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like that of horses.

21So you revisited the promiscuity of your youth, when the Egyptians used to fondle your bosom and youthful breasts.
