Ezekiel 23:16-23 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

16. And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

17. And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love; and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18. So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.

19. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

20. And she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

21. Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the bruising of thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy youth.

22. Therefore, O Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

23. the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon horses.
