Ezekiel 23:3-8

3And they committed whoredomsH2181 in EgyptH4714; they committed whoredomsH2181 in their youthH5271: there were their breastsH7699 pressedH4600, and there they bruisedH6213 the teatsH1717 of their virginityH1331.

4And the namesH8034 of them were AholahH170 the elderH1419, and AholibahH172 her sisterH269: and they were mine, and they bareH3205 sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323. Thus were their namesH8034; SamariaH8111 is AholahH170, and JerusalemH3389 AholibahH172.12

5And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181 when she was mineH8478; and she dotedH5689 on her loversH157, on the AssyriansH804 her neighboursH7138,

6Which were clothedH3847 with blueH8504, captainsH6346 and rulersH5461, all of them desirableH2531 young menH970, horsemenH6571 ridingH7392 upon horsesH5483.

7Thus she committedH5414 her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them that were the chosenH4005 menH1121 of AssyriaH804, and with all on whom she dotedH5689: with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930 herself.34

8Neither leftH5800 she her whoredomsH8457 brought from EgyptH4714: for in her youthH5271 they layH7901 with her, and they bruisedH6213 the breastsH1717 of her virginityH1331, and pouredH8210 their whoredomH8457 upon her.
