Ezechiel 23:1-8 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

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

3. And they committed fornication in Egypt, in their youth they committed fornication: there were their breasts pressed down, and the teats of their virginity were bruised.

4. And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba.

5. And Oolla committed fornication against me, and doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians that came to her,

6. Who were clothed with blue, princes, and rulers, beautiful youths, all horsemen, mounted upon horses.

7. And she committed her fornications with those chosen men, all sons of the Assyrians: and she defiled herself with the uncleanness of all them on whom she doted.

8. Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her.
