Ezekiel 23:6

---

← Ezekiel 23:5	Ezekiel 23:6 (KJV)	Ezekiel 23:7 →
And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,	[Which were] clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.	Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them [that were] the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
