Read Ezekiel 23 in full →
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.
5Oholah played the harlot 1while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the aAssyrians, her neighbors, 6who were clothed in purple, agovernors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. 7She gave her harlotries to them, all of them the choicest 1men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she adefiled herself. 8She did not forsake her harlotries afrom the time in Egypt; for in her youth 1men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their harlotry on her. 9Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her alovers, into the hand of the 1Assyrians, after whom she lusted. 10They auncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. Thus she became a despised name among women, and they executed judgments on her.
