Context of Ezekiel 23:7
5And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians [her] neighbours, 6clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses. And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself. 8Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her. 9Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.
