New Century Version

Ezekiel 23:14-21 New Century Version (NCV)

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 and turbans on their heads. They all looked like chariot officers born in Babylonia.

16. When she saw them, she wanted to have sexual relations with them and sent messengers to them in Babylonia.

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

18. But she continued her prostitution so openly 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.
