Ezekiel 23:11-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. "Her sister Oholibah saw it. But her evil longing for sexual sin was worse than her sister's.

12. She too longed for the men of Assyria. They included governors and commanders. They included soldiers who wore uniforms. They also included men who rode horses. All of them were young and handsome.

13. I saw that she too polluted herself. So both sisters did the same evil things.

14. "But Oholibah went even further with her sexual sins. She saw pictures of men drawn on a wall. They were figures of Babylonians drawn in red.

15. They had belts around their waists. They wore flowing turbans on their heads. All of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers. They were from the land of the Chaldeans.

16. "As soon as she saw the pictures, she longed for the men. So she sent messengers to them in Babylonia.

17. Then the Babylonians came to her. They went to bed with her. They made love to her. They polluted her when they had sex with her. After they did it, she became sick of them. So she turned away from them.
