Ezekiel 23:12-23 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

12. She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbours, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

13. I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.

14. “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Kasdim portrayed with red,

15. dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Kasdim, the land of their birth.

16. As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Kasdimah.

17. The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.

18. So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister.

19. Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.

20. She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

21. Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts.

22. “Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord GOD: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:

23. the Babylonians and all the Kasdim, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
