Ezekiel 23:13-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. I saw that both girls were alike. Both of them were prostitutes.

14. “But Jerusalem went even further. She saw carvings of Babylonian men on a wall. They wore red

15. and had belts around their waists. They wore turbans on their heads. They all looked like chariot officers born in Babylonia.

16. When she saw them, she lusted after them. So she sent messengers to them in Babylonia.

17. So these Babylonian men came and had sinful physical relations with her. They made her unclean. After that, she became sick of them.

18. But she continued her prostitution so that everyone knew about it. And I finally became sick of her, as I had her sister.

19. But she remembered how she was a young prostitute in Egypt. So she took part in even more prostitution.

20. She wanted men who behaved like animals in their sexual desire.

21. In the same way you desired to do the sinful things you had done in Egypt. There men touched and held your young breasts.
