Ezekiel 23:14 in context

Ezekiel 23:11–17

11

“Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.

12

She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

13

I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way.

14
Selected verse

“She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red,

15

dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.

16

As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.

17

The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
