Ezekiel 23:11–20

¹¹“Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was ^amore corrupt in her lust than she, and her harlotries were more than the harlotries of her sister.

¹²“She lusted after the ^1aAssyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

¹³“I saw that she had defiled herself; they both took ¹the same way.

¹⁴“So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men ^aportrayed on the wall, images of the ^bChaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

¹⁵girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, ¹like the ²Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

¹⁶“¹When she saw them she ^alusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

¹⁷“The ^1aBabylonians came to her to the bed of love and defiled her with their harlotry. And when she had been defiled by them, ²she became disgusted with them.

¹⁸“She ^auncovered her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness; then ¹I became ^bdisgusted with her, as I had become disgusted with her ^csister.

¹⁹“Yet she multiplied her harlotries, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

²⁰“She ^alusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
