5 (A)we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly (B)and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules. 6 (C)We have not listened to (D)your servants the prophets, who spoke in your name to (E)our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7 To you, (F)O Lord, belongs righteousness, but to us open shame, as at this day, to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, (G)those who are near and (H)those who are far away, in (I)all the lands to which you have driven them, because of (J)the treachery that they have committed against you. 8 To us, O Lord, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because (K)we have sinned against you. 9 (L)To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him 10 (M)and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by (N)his servants the prophets. 11 (O)All Israel has transgressed your law and turned aside, (P)refusing to obey your voice. (Q)And the curse and oath (R)that are written in the Law of (S)Moses the servant of God have been poured out upon us, because (T)we have sinned against him. 12 He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against (U)our rulers who ruled us,[a] by (V)bringing upon us a great calamity. (W)For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 23:11-21
English Standard Version
11 (A)“Her sister Oholibah saw this, and she became (B)more corrupt than her sister[a] in her lust and in her whoring, which was worse than that of her sister. 12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and commanders, warriors clothed in full armor, horsemen riding on horses, (C)all of them desirable young men. 13 And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way. 14 But she carried her whoring further. She saw men (D)portrayed on the wall, the (E)images of (F)the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion, 15 wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them having the appearance of officers, a likeness of Babylonians whose native land was Chaldea. 16 When she saw them, she lusted after them and (G)sent messengers to them (H)in Chaldea. 17 And the Babylonians came to her (I)into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoring lust. And after she was defiled by them, (J)she turned from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her nakedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. 19 Yet she increased her whoring, (K)remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20 and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed[b] your young breasts.”
