Ezekiel 23:16-18
New English Translation

16 When she saw them,[a] she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.[b] 17 The Babylonians crawled into bed with her.[c] They defiled her with their lust; after she was defiled by them, she[d] became disgusted with them. 18 When she lustfully exposed her nakedness,[e] I[f] was disgusted with her, just as I[g] had been disgusted with her sister.
