SCRIPTURE

"And they went in unto her, as they go in unto a harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd women." — Ezekiel 23:44 (ASV)

Yet they went in to her Made a league with one another, and joined in idolatrous worship: as they go in to a woman that plays the harlot; with the same heat of lust, with the same greediness and eager desire as young men do when they go into a brothel house where a beautiful harlot lives: so went they in to Aholah and to Aholibah; the lewd women, the ten tribes of Israel, and the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin, which apostatized from God, and committed idolatry; with these the Sabeans before mentioned, and other nations, joined in idolatrous worship.
