Context of Ezekiel 23:7
5And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, 6Who were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. Thus she committed her harlotries with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself. 8Neither left she her harlotries brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their lust upon her. 9Therefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
