Ezekiel 23:12-21

Ezekiel 23:12-21

[12] She doted  upon the Assyrians  her neighbours,  captains  and rulers  clothed  most gorgeously,  horsemen  riding  upon horses,  all of them desirable  young men.  [13] Then I saw  that she was defiled,  that they took both  one  way,  [14] And that she increased  her whoredoms:  for when she saw  pourtrayed  upon the wall,  the images  of the Chaldeans  pourtrayed  with vermilion,  [15] Girded  with girdles  upon their loins,  exceeding  in dyed attire  upon their heads,  all of them princes  to look to,  after the manner  of the Babylonians  of Chaldea,  the land  of their nativity:  [16] And as soon as she saw  them with her eyes,  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 mind  was alienated  from them. [18] So she discovered  her whoredoms,  and discovered  her nakedness:  then my mind  was alienated  from her, like as my mind  was alienated  from her sister.  [19] Yet she multiplied  her whoredoms,  in calling to remembrance  the days  of her youth,  wherein she had played the harlot  in the land  of Egypt.  [20] For she doted  upon their paramours,  whose flesh  of asses,  and whose issue  of horses.  [21] Thus thou calledst to remembrance  the lewdness  of thy youth,  in bruising  thy teats  by the Egyptians  for the paps  of thy youth.
