Ezekiel 23:8

The Two Adulterous Sisters

7She offered sexual favors to all the elite of Assyria. She defiled herself with all the idols of those for whom she lusted.8She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt, when men slept with her in her youth, caressed her virgin bosom, and poured out their lust upon her.9Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
