Ezekiel 23:3-8

3and they playedH2181 the harlot in EgyptH4714; they playedH2181 the harlot in their youthH5271; there were their breastsH7699 pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginityH1331. 4And the namesH8034 of them wereH1961 OholahH170 the elder, and OholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they became mine, and they bare sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. And as for their namesH8034, SamariaH8111 is OholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 OholibahH172.

5And OholahH170 playedH2181 the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her loversH157, on the Assyrians her neighbors, 6who were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, governorsH6346 and rulers, all of them desirable youngH970 menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483. 7And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of AssyriaH804 all of them; and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself. 8Neither hath she leftH5800 her whoredoms since the days of EgyptH4714; for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginityH1331; and they pouredH8210 out their whoredom upon her.
