New Century Version

Ezekiel 23:17-24 New Century Version (NCV)

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.

22. “So, Jerusalem, this is what the Lord God says: You are tired of your lovers. So now I will make them angry with you and have them attack you from all sides.

23. Men from Babylon and all Babylonia and men from Pekod, Shoa, and Koa will attack you. All the Assyrians will attack you: handsome young captains and lieutenants, all of them important men and all riding horses.

24. Those men will attack with great armies and with their weapons, chariots, and wagons. They will surround you with large and small shields and with helmets. And I will give them the right to punish you, and they will give you their own kind of punishment.
