New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 23
14 So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 girded with belts on their loins, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, like the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 When she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
17 The Babylonians came to her to the bed of love and defiled her with their harlotry. And when she had been defiled by them, she became disgusted with them.
18 She uncovered her harlotries and uncovered her nakedness; then I became disgusted with her, as I had become disgusted with her sister.
19 Yet she multiplied her harlotries, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom because of the breasts of your youth.
22 "Therefore, O Oholibah, thus says the Lord God, ’Behold I will arouse your lovers against you, from whom you were alienated, and I will bring them against you from every side:
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, governors and officials all of them, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24 They will come against you with weapons, chariots and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you on every side with buckler and shield and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their customs.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
