## Ezekiel 23:16-17 in Context (Verses 13–20 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/13) Then I saw that she was defiled, *that* they *took* both one way,
 
 [14 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/14) And *that* she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/15) Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
 
 [16 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/16) And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/17) And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.**
 
 [18 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/18) So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/19) Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/ezekiel/23/20) For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh *is as* the flesh of asses, and whose issue *is like* the issue of horses.
 
[Ezekiel 22](/kjv/ezekiel/22) [Ezekiel 24](/kjv/ezekiel/24)
