New Living Translation

Ezekiel 23:10-17 New Living Translation (NLT)

10. They stripped her, took away her children as their slaves, and then killed her. After she received her punishment, her reputation was known to every woman in the land.

11. “Yet even though Oholibah saw what had happened to Oholah, her sister, she followed right in her footsteps. And she was even more depraved, abandoning herself to her lust and prostitution.

12. She fawned over all the Assyrian officers—those captains and commanders in handsome uniforms, those charioteers driving their horses—all of them attractive young men.

13. I saw the way she was going, defiling herself just like her older sister.

14. “Then she carried her prostitution even further. She fell in love with pictures that were painted on a wall—pictures of Babylonian military officers, outfitted in striking red uniforms.

15. Handsome belts encircled their waists, and flowing turbans crowned their heads. They were dressed like chariot officers from the land of Babylonia.

16. When she saw these paintings, she longed to give herself to them, so she sent messengers to Babylonia to invite them to come to her.

17. So they came and committed adultery with her, defiling her in the bed of love. After being defiled, however, she rejected them in disgust.
