In context

6clothed with purple, princes and captains; they were young men and choice, all horsemen riding on horses.

7And she bestowed her fornication upon them; all were choice sons of the Assyrians: and on whomsoever she doted herself, with them she defiled herself in all their devices.

— Ezekiel 23:8 —

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

10They uncovered her shame: they took her sons and daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became a byword among women; and they wrought vengeance in her for the sake of the daughters.
