New Living Translation
Ezekiel 23:3-8
3They became prostitutes in Egypt. Even as young girls, they allowed men to fondle their breasts.
4The older girl was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. I married them, and they bore me sons and daughters. I am speaking of Samaria and Jerusalem, for Oholah is Samaria and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5“Then Oholah lusted after other lovers instead of me, and she gave her love to the Assyrian officers.
6They were all attractive young men, captains and commanders dressed in handsome blue, charioteers driving their horses.
7And so she prostituted herself with the most desirable men of Assyria, worshiping their idols and defiling herself.
8For when she left Egypt, she did not leave her spirit of prostitution behind. She was still as lewd as in her youth, when the Egyptians slept with her, fondled her breasts, and used her as a prostitute.
