Ezekiel 23:18-24 God's Word Translation (GW)

18. “She carried out her prostitution openly, and she lay around naked. I turned away from her in disgust as I had turned away from her sister.

19. She remembered how she had been a prostitute in Egypt when she was young. So she took part in even more prostitution.

20. She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose semen was like that of horses.

21. So she longed to do the sinful things she did when she was young in Egypt, when young men caressed and fondled her breasts.

22. “Oholibah, this is what the Almighty Lord says: I’m going to stir up your lovers against you. They are the lovers you turned away from in disgust. I will bring them against you from every side.

23. I will bring men from Babylon and from all Babylonia, men from Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, as well as all the Assyrians. They are desirable young men, governors and commanders, military officers and important men. All of them ride on horses.

24. They will attack you from the north, with chariots and wagons and with a large number of troops. They will attack you from all around with small and large shields and with helmets. I have handed you over to them for punishment. They will punish you with their own kind of punishment.
