Ezekiel 23:3 in Context — Ezekiel 23
1 La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:
2 Fils de l’homme, il y avait deux femmes, Filles d’une même mère.
3 Elles se sont prostituées en Égypte, Elles se sont prostituées dans leur jeunesse; Là leurs mamelles ont été pressées, Là leur sein virginal a été touché.
4 L’aînée s’appelait Ohola, Et sa sœur Oholiba; Elles étaient à moi, Et elles ont enfanté des fils et des filles. Ohola, c’est Samarie; Oholiba, c’est Jérusalem.
5 Ohola me fut infidèle; Elle s’enflamma pour ses amants, Les Assyriens ses voisins,
