Ezekiel 23:12-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. She shamelessly offered herself to the sons of the Assyrians, to the rulers and magistrates who brought themselves to her clothed with colorful garments, to the horsemen who were carried by horses, and to the youths, all of them exceptional in appearance.

13. And I saw that she had been defiled, and that they both took the same path.

14. And she increased her fornications. And when she had seen men depicted on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans, expressed in colors,

15. with belts wrapped around the waist, and with dyed headdresses on their heads, having seen the appearance of all the rulers, the likenesses of the sons of Babylon and of the land of the Chaldeans in which they were born,

16. she became mad for them with the desire of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

17. And when the sons of Babylon had gone to her, to the bed of breasts, they defiled her with their fornications, and she was polluted by them, and her soul was gorged by them.

18. Also, her fornications were uncovered, and her shame was revealed. And my soul withdrew from her, as my soul had withdrawn from her sister.
