Ezekiel 23:2–20

²Son of man, there were ^atwo women, the daughters of one mother: ³and ^bthey committed whoredoms ^cin Egypt; ^bthey committed whoredoms ^din their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there ^ethey bruised ^fthe teats of their virginity. ⁴And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah ^aher sister: and ^gthey were mine, and ^hthey bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; ⁱSamaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

⁵And Aholah played the harlot ^kwhen she was mine; and ^lshe doted on her lovers, on ^mthe Assyrians her neighbours, ⁶which were clothed with blue, ^nocaptains and rulers, ⁿall of them desirable young men, ⁿhorsemen ^priding upon horses. ⁷Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom ^lshe doted: with all their idols she defiled herself. ⁸Neither left she her whoredoms brought ^cfrom Egypt: for ^din her youth they lay with her, and ^ethey bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her. ⁹Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of ^rthe Assyrians, ^lupon whom she doted. ¹⁰These ^sdiscovered her nakedness: ^ssthey took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had ^texecuted judgment upon her.

¹¹And ^uwhen ^aher sister Aholibah saw this, ^vshe was more corrupt in ^lher inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. ^12lShe doted upon ^wthe Assyrians her neighbours, ⁿcaptains and rulers ^xclothed most gorgeously, ⁿhorsemen riding upon horses, ⁿall of them desirable young men. ¹³Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, ¹⁴and that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men ^ypourtrayed upon the wall, ^zthe images of ^athe Chaldeans pourtrayed ^bwith vermilion, ¹⁵girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians ^aof Chaldea, the land of their nativity: ¹⁶and as soon as she saw them with her eyes, ^hshe doted upon them, and ^csent messengers unto them into ^aChaldea. ¹⁷And the Babylonians came to her into ^ccthe bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and ^dher mind was alienated from them. ¹⁸So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then ^dmy mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. ¹⁹Yet ^eshe multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance ^fthe days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot ^gin the land of Egypt. ²⁰For ^hshe doted upon their paramours, ^giwhose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and ⁱwhose issue is like the issue of horses.
