Ezekiel 23:5 in context

  1. 3They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
  2. 4Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
  3. 5“Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
  4. 6who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
  5. 7She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whoever she lusted after.
