Ezekiel 23:11-21

Ezekiel 23:11-21 TPT

“Her sister Oholibah saw all this, but she was even more depraved and a wilder prostitute than her sister. She lusted after the Assyrians—warriors dressed to perfection, governors, and officials. All of them were young and handsome and skilled horsemen. Then I saw that she was completely immoral; both sisters were equally corrupt. But Oholibah sank ever deeper into unrestrained sexual immorality, worse than ever. She saw the wall carvings of the Babylonian men, painted bright red, the images of the elite men of Babylon (natives of Chaldea), and her lust was enflamed even more. The men looked magnificent, like officers going into battle on their horses! They were the high-ranking Babylonian chariot officers with beautiful sashes tied around their waists and elaborate turbans on their heads. As soon as she saw them, she went wild with lust and sent messengers to them in Babylon to come and have sex with her. The Babylonians came to her, shared her love-bed, and defiled her with their lust. Once they had defiled her, she withdrew her affection and turned her back on them. She exposed her naked body to everyone and showed them openly that she was a prostitute. Therefore, I turned my back on her just as I had done with her sister. Yet she began sinking even deeper into her depraved sexual immorality, acting the way she did when she was a young prostitute in Egypt. She was driven by insatiable lust for Egyptian men, with genitals as large as donkeys’, ejaculating as forcefully as stallions. In that way, you were longing to repeat the debauchery of your youth, when men used to fondle your nipples in Egypt and played with your young breasts.”
