New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 23
9 Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.
10 They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they slew her with the sword. Thus she became a byword among women, and they executed judgments on her.
11 "Now her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lust than she, and her harlotries were more than the harlotries of her sister.
12 She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 I saw that she had defiled herself; they both took the same way.
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.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
