Ezekiel:23:2-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Son of man ,
there were two women ,
the daughters of one mother :
*
And they committed whoredoms in Egypt ;
they committed whoredoms in their youth na #
uwr #:
there were their breasts pressed ,
and there they bruised the teats of their virginity .
*
And the names of them were Aholah the elder ,
and Aholibah her sister :
and they were mine ,
and they bare sons and daughters .
Thus were their names ;
Samaria is Aholah ,
and Jerusalem Aholibah .
*
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine ;
and she doted on her lovers ,
on the Assyrians her neighbours ,
*
Which were clothed with blue ,
captains and rulers ,
all of them desirable young men ,
horsemen riding upon horses .
*
Thus she committed her whoredoms with them ,
with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria ,
and with all on whom she doted :
with all their idols she defiled herself .
*
Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt :
for in her youth they lay with her ,
and they bruised the breasts of her virginity ,
and poured their whoredom upon her .
*
Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers ,
into the hand of the Assyrians ben #,
upon whom she doted .
*
These discovered her nakedness :
they took her sons and her daughters ,
and slew her with the sword :
and she became famous among women ;
for they had executed judgment upon her .
*
And when her sister Aholibah saw this ,
she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she ,
and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms .
*
She doted upon the Assyrians ben #
her neighbours ,
captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously ,
horsemen riding upon horses ,
all of them desirable young men .
*
Then I saw that she was defiled ,
that they took both one way ,
*
And that she increased her whoredoms :
for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall ,
the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion ,
*
Girded with girdles upon their loins ,
exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads ro #
sh #,
all of them princes to look to mar #
eh #,
after the manner of the Babylonians ben #
of Chaldea ,
the land of their nativity :
*
And as soon as she saw them with her eyes ,
she doted upon them ,
and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea .
*
And the Babylonians ben #
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 .
*
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 .
*
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms ,
in calling to remembrance the days of her youth na #
uwr #,
wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt .
*
For she doted upon their paramours ,
whose flesh is as the flesh of asses ,
and whose issue is like the issue of horses .
