Ezekiel 16:27-29
The Message
25-27 “‘And then you went international with your whoring. You fornicated with the Egyptians, seeking them out in their sex orgies. The more promiscuous you became, the angrier I got. Finally, I intervened, reduced your borders and turned you over to the rapacity of your enemies. Even the Philistine women—can you believe it?—were shocked at your sluttish life.
28-29 “‘You went on to fornicate with the Assyrians. Your appetite was insatiable. But still you weren’t satisfied. You took on the Babylonians, a country of businessmen, and still you weren’t satisfied.

New International Version
27 So I stretched out my hand(A) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over(B) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,(C) who were shocked by your lewd conduct. 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians(D) too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.(E) 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia,[a](F) a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.(G)
