Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the whore in the land of Egypt
They played the whore in Egypt; they played the whore in their youth; there their breasts were pressed and their virgin bosoms handled.
“Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days;
Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts.”
But she carried her whoring further. She saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
She did not give up her whoring that 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.
And I said to them, ‘Cast away the detestable things your eyes feast on, every one of you, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.’
Samaria has not committed half your sins. You have committed more abominations than they, and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.
You multiplied your whoring also with the trading land of Chaldea, and even with this you were not satisfied.
At the head of every street you built your lofty place and made your beauty an abomination, offering yourself to any passerby and multiplying your whoring.
And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood.
