Ezekiel 23:12

The Two Adulterous Sisters

11Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.12She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors dressed in splendor, horsemen riding on steeds, all desirable young men.13And I saw that she too had defiled herself; both of them had taken the same path.
