Ezekiel 23:5-11

NSB(i) 5 »Oholah played the prostitute while she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, her neighbors. 6 »The Assyrians were clothed in purple, governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7 »She gave her acts of fornication to them, all of whom were the choicest men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she defiled herself. 8 »She did not forsake her acts of fornication from the time in Egypt. In her youth men had lain with her. They handled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her. 9 »Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10 »They uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgments on her. 11 »Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lust than she. Her prostitution was more than the fornication of her sister.
