Ezekiel 23:14–21

¹⁴But she increased her harlotry;

She looked at men portrayed on the wall,

Images of ^mChaldeans portrayed in vermilion,

¹⁵Girded with belts around their waists,

Flowing turbans on their heads,

All of them looking like captains,

In the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea,

The land of their nativity.

¹⁶ⁿAs soon as her eyes saw them,

She lusted for them

And sent ^omessengers to them in Chaldea.

¹⁷“Then the ³Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love,

And they defiled her with their immorality;

So she was defiled by them, ^pand alienated herself from them.

¹⁸She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness.

Then ^qI ^ralienated Myself from her,

As I had alienated Myself from her sister.

¹⁹“Yet she multiplied her harlotry

In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,

^sWhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

²⁰For she lusted for her ⁴paramours,

Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,

And whose issue is like the issue of horses.

²¹Thus you called to remembrance the lewdness of your youth,

When the ^tEgyptians pressed your bosom

Because of your youthful breasts.
