Ezekiel 23:13

Then I saw that she was defiled

Ezekiel 23:13 In-Context

11 "And though Oholibah her sister saw, yet in her lust {she behaved more corruptly than her}, and her whoring [was] more than the prostitution of her sister.

12 She lusted after the {Assyrians}, governors and prefects, warriors clothed in perfection, {expert horsemen}, all of them {handsome young men}.

13 And I saw that she was defiled; {they had both taken the same path}!

14 And she increased her whorings, and she saw men carved on the wall, images of Chaldeans carved in red

15 belted with a belt at their waist with turbans on their heads, all of them [giving] [the] appearance of adjutants, the image of the {Babylonians}; Chaldea [was] the land of their birth.
