Ezekiel 23:2
Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:

Ezekiel 23:3
They were acting like loose women in Egypt; when they were young their behaviour was loose: there their breasts were crushed, even the points of their young breasts were crushed.

Ezekiel 23:4
Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

Ezekiel 23:5
And Oholah was untrue to me when she was mine; she was full of desire for her lovers, even for the Assyrians, her neighbours,

Ezekiel 23:6
Who were clothed in blue, captains and rulers, all of them young men to be desired, horsemen seated on horses.

Ezekiel 23:7
And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

Ezekiel 23:8
And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.

Ezekiel 23:9
For this cause I gave her up into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians on whom her desire was fixed.

Ezekiel 23:10
By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.

Leviticus 17:7
And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.
