Ezekiel 23:21-23
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
21 Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians[a] handled your bosom and pressed[b] your young breasts.”
22 Therefore, O Ohol′ibah, thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will rouse against you your lovers from whom you turned in disgust, and I will bring them against you from every side: 23 the Babylonians and all the Chalde′ans, Pekod and Sho′a and Ko′a, and all the Assyrians with them, desirable young men, governors and commanders all of them, officers and warriors,[c] all of them riding on horses.
