Ezekiel 23:8-21

Thomson(i) 8 yet she did not forsake her fornication with Egypt because they had lain with her in her youth and first deflowered her. 9 Wherefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians to whom she had attached herself. 10 These exposed her shame. They took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword, and she became a common talk for women, and by her they gave warning to their daughters. 11 Though her sister Ooliba saw this, yet she became abandoned and more inordinate in her fornication than her sister. 12 To the sons of the Assyrians she attached herself; to the rulers and generals near her who were arrayed in sumptuous apparel, who were horsemen mounted on horses. They were all chosen youths. 13 When I saw that they were polluted; and that both took the same course; 14 and that this one was adding to her fornication; for upon seeing men portrayed on the wall, the pictures of the Chaldeans drawn to the life with a pencil, 15 having their loins girded with embroidered girdles, and deep dyed turbans on their heads; the majestic countenance of all resembling that of the Chaldees of the land of her nativity; 16 she became attached to them by the sight of her eyes, and sent messengers to them to the land of Chaldea. 17 And the sons of Babylon came to her, lay with her, and polluted her in whoredom. And when she was polluted by them, though her mind was alienated from them, 18 still she discovered her whoredom and exposed her shame. So my mind became alienated from her as it had been from her sister. 19 As thou hast multiplied thy whoredom, to call into remembrance the days of thy youth, in which thou didst play the harlot in Egypt, 20 and though connected with the Chaldeans, men of beastly lust, 21 hast looked back to the transgressions of thy youth; to what thou didst in the stew of Egypt where thou wast first deflowered.
