7And I said to them, ' jCast away the detestable things kyour eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with lthe idols of Egypt; mI am the Lord your God.' 8 nBut they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. oNone of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them pand spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 23:3
3 qThey played the whore in Egypt; rthey played the whore sin their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms ▼▼Hebrew nipples; also verses 8, 21
handled. Ezekiel 23:8
8She did not give up her whoring uthat she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring lust upon her.Ezekiel 23:19-21
19Yet she increased her whoring, vremembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt 20and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. 21Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed ▼▼Vulgate, Syriac; Hebrew bosom for the sake of
your young breasts.”
