Ezekiel 23:3-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. They became prostitutes in Egypt while they were still young girls. That’s where they first let men touch and handle their young breasts.

4. The older daughter was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They became my wives, and we had children. I am using the name Oholah to mean Samaria and the name Oholibah to mean Jerusalem.

5. “Then Oholah became unfaithful to me—she began to live like a prostitute. She began to want her lovers. She saw the Assyrian soldiers

6. in their blue uniforms. They were all handsome young men riding horses. They were leaders and officers,

7. and Oholah gave herself to all those men. All of them were handpicked soldiers in the Assyrian army, and she wanted them all! She became filthy with their filthy idols.

8. Besides that, she never stopped her love affair with Egypt. Egypt made love to her when she was a young girl. Egypt was the first lover to touch her young breasts. Egypt poured his untrue love on her.

9. So I let her lovers have her. She wanted Assyria, so I gave her to them!
