Tree of Life Version
Ezekiel 23:6-17
6dressed in blue, governors and rulers, all of them handsome young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7She prostituted herself with them, all of the choice men of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after.
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.
10They 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.
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.
