Ezekiel 23:18

Ezekiel 23:18

16 ^aAs soon as her eyes saw them,
She lusted for them
And sent ^bmessengers to them in Chaldea.

17 “Then the¹ Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love,
And they defiled her with their immorality;
So she was defiled by them, ^aand alienated herself from them.

18 She revealed her harlotry and uncovered her nakedness.
Then ^aI ^balienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.

19 “Yet she multiplied her harlotry
In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,
^aWhen she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

20 For she lusted for her¹ paramours,
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.

<< Ezekiel 23:17

Ezekiel 23:19 >>

my mind was alienated from her—literally, "was broken off from her." Just retribution for "her mind being alienated (broken off) from the Chaldeans" (Ezekiel 23:17), to whom she had sworn fealty (Ezekiel 17:12-19). "Discovered" implies the open shamelessness of her apostasy.
