stylus

Ezekiel 16:44, Ezekiel 16:46, Jeremiah 3:7, Jeremiah 3:10, Ezekiel 16:44

3And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

stylus

Leviticus 17:7, Leviticus 17:7, Joshua 24:14, Ezekiel 16:22, Joshua 24:14

4And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

stylus

Ezekiel 16:8, Ezekiel 16:8, 1 Kings 12:26, 1 Kings 12:33, Psalms 76:2

stylus

2 Kings 15:19, 2 Kings 17:3, Hosea 5:13, 2 Kings 16:7, 2 Kings 15:19

6Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

stylus

7Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

stylus

Hosea 6:10, Hosea 5:3, Hosea 6:10, Hosea 5:3, Ezekiel 20:7

stylus

Ezekiel 23:19, Ezekiel 23:3, Exodus 32:4, Ezekiel 23:19, Ezekiel 23:3

stylus

Hosea 11:5, 2 Kings 17:23, 2 Kings 15:29, Hosea 11:5, 2 Kings 17:23

stylus

13Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

stylus

Ezekiel 23:31, Hosea 12:1, Hosea 12:2, 2 Kings 17:18, 2 Kings 17:19

14And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

stylus

Ezekiel 8:10, Ezekiel 8:10, Jeremiah 22:14, Jeremiah 22:14, Jeremiah 50:2

stylus

1 Samuel 18:4, 2 Samuel 14:25, Judges 8:18, Isaiah 22:21, 1 Samuel 18:4

stylus

Ezekiel 23:22, Ezekiel 23:28, Ezekiel 23:22, Ezekiel 23:28, 2 Samuel 13:15

stylus

Psalms 78:59, Psalms 106:40, Jeremiah 12:8, Psalms 78:59, Psalms 106:40

stylus

29And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

stylus
