Ezekiel 23:17-20
Living Bible
17 And they came and committed adultery with her, defiling her in the bed of love, but afterward she hated them and broke off all relations with them.[a]
18 “And I despised her, just as I despised her sister, because she flaunted herself before them and gave herself to their lust. 19-20 But that didn’t bother her. She turned to even greater prostitution, sinning with the lustful men she remembered from her youth when she was a prostitute in Egypt.[b]
