Thus she committed her whoredomswiththem, with all themthatwere the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all theiridols she defiledherself.
Neitherleft she her whoredomsbroughtfromEgypt: for in her youththey lay with her, and theybruised the breasts of her virginity, and pouredtheirwhoredomupon her.
