God’s Word Translation
Ezekiel 23:3-8
3They became prostitutes in Egypt when they were young. There men fondled and caressed their breasts.
4“The older girl was named Oholah, and the younger girl was named Oholibah. I married them, and they gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah represents Samaria, and Oholibah represents Jerusalem.
5Oholah acted like a prostitute, although she was my wife. She lusted after her Assyrian lovers who lived nearby.
6They were governors and commanders clothed in purple. They were all handsome young men who rode on horses.
7She became a prostitute for all the important men in Assyria. She dishonored herself with the idols of all those with whom she fell in love.
8She continued the prostitution that she started in Egypt. When she was young, men went to bed with her, caressed her breasts, and treated her like a prostitute.
