Ezekiel 23:5-10
New American Standard Bible
5 “Oholah prostituted herself [a]while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the (A)Assyrians, her neighbors, 6 who were clothed in purple, (B)governors and officials, all of them handsome young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7 She bestowed her [b]obscene practices on them, all of whom were the choicest [c]men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she (C)defiled herself. 8 She did not abandon her obscene practices (D)from the time in Egypt; for in her youth [d]men had slept with her, and they handled her virgin breasts and poured out their obscene practice on her. 9 Therefore, I handed her over to her (E)lovers, to the [e]Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10 They (F)uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. So she became a [f]subject of gossip among women, and they executed judgments on her.
