Ezekiel 23:8,19,21
Ezekiel 23:5-8 The Message (MSG)
“Oholah started whoring while she was still mine. She lusted after Assyrians as lovers: military men smartly uniformed in blue, ambassadors and governors, good-looking young men mounted on fine horses. Her lust was unrestrained. She was a whore to the Assyrian elite. She compounded her filth with the idols of those to whom she gave herself in lust. She never slowed down. The whoring she began while young in Egypt she continued, sleeping with men who played with her breasts and spent their lust on her.
Ezekiel 23:18b-21 The Message (MSG)
“I turned my back on her just as I had on her sister. But that didn’t slow her down. She went at her whoring harder than ever.

She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled.
