In context

8And she forsook not her fornication with the Egyptians: for in her youth they committed fornication with her, and they deflowered her, and poured out their fornication upon her.

9Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the children of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

— Ezekiel 23:10 —

11And her sister Oholibah saw it, and she indulged in her fondness more corruptly than she, and in her fornication more than the fornication of her sister.

12She doted upon the sons of the Assyrians, princes and captains, her neighbors, clothed with fine linen, horsemen riding on horses; they were all choice young men.
