Ezekiel 23:1-9 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,

2. Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother.

3. And they committed whoredom in Egypt; they committed whoredom in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there were handled the teats of their virginity.

4. And their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister; and they were mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names: Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

5. And Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians her neighbours,

6. clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them attractive young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

7. And she bestowed her whoredoms upon them, all of them the choice of the children of Asshur; and with all after whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

8. Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt; for in her youth they had lain with her, and had handled the breasts of her virginity, and poured their fornication upon her.

9. Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the children of Asshur, after whom she lusted.
