What does Ezekiel 23:17 mean?

So the Babylonians came to her and slept with her, polluting her with their love. After she gave herself to them, she became disgusted with them. Ezekiel 23:17 - Modern Text Bible

(The relationship with Babylon is described as intimate but ultimately defiling. After giving herself over, Jerusalem felt repulsed by what she had done.)
