Ezekiel:23:2-16
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Son of man ,
there were two women ,
The daughters of one mother .
*
They committed harlotry in Egypt ,
They committed harlotry in their youth ;
Their breasts were there embraced ,
Their virgin bosom was there pressed .
*
Their names :
Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister ;
They were Mine ,
And they bore sons and daughters .
As for their names ,
Samaria is Oholah ,
and Jerusalem is Oholibah .
* "
Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine ;
And she lusted for her lovers ,
the neighboring Assyrians ,
*
Who were clothed in purple ,
Captains and rulers ,
All of them desirable young men ,
Horsemen riding on horses .
*
Thus she committed her harlotry with them ,
All of them choice men of Assyria ;
And with all for whom she lusted ,
With all their idols ,
she defiled herself .
*
She has never given up her harlotry brought from Egypt ,
For in her youth they had lain with her ,
Pressed her virgin bosom ,
And poured out their immorality upon her .
* "
Therefore I have delivered her Into the hand of her lovers ,
Into the hand of the Assyrians ,
For whom she lusted .
*
They uncovered her nakedness ,
Took away her sons and daughters ,
And slew her with the sword ;
She became a byword among women ,
For they had executed judgment on her .
* "
Now although her sister Oholibah saw this ,
she became more corrupt in her lust than she ,
and in her harlotry more corrupt than her sister '
s harlotry .
* "
She lusted for the neighboring Assyrians ,
Captains and rulers ,
Clothed most gorgeously ,
Horsemen riding on horses ,
All of them desirable young men .
*
Then I saw that she was defiled ;
Both took the same way .
*
But she increased her harlotry ;
She looked at men portrayed on the wall ,
Images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion ,
*
Girded with belts around their waists ,
Flowing turbans on their heads ,
All of them looking like captains ,
In the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea ,
The land of their nativity .
*
As soon as her eyes saw them ,
She lusted for them And sent messengers to them in Chaldea .
