Ezekiel 23:3-8
3and they played the harlot in Egypt. They 1played the harlot in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and there their virgin bosom was handled. 4Their names were Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister. And they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
5“Oholah played the harlot 2while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the 3Assyrians, her neighbors, 6who were clothed in purple, 4governors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7She bestowed her harlotries on them, all of whom were the choicest 5men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she 6defiled herself. 8She did not forsake her harlotries 7from the time in Egypt; for in her youth 8men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their 9lust on her.
