Today is the 11th day of November.

Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. I'm Brian.

It's great to be here with you today, kind of bringing this week in for a landing together.

Well, let's dive in.

Ezekiel, chapter 23 verses 1 through 49 today.

We're reading from the Lord, son of man. Once there were two sisters who were daughters of the same mother.

They became prostitutes in Egypt.

Even as young girls they allowed men to fondle their breasts.

The older girl was named Ohola,

and her sister was Ohlyba.

I married them, and they bore me sons and daughters. I am speaking of Samaria and Jerusalem

for a hola is Samaria and Aholibah is Jerusalem.

Then Ahola lusted after other lovers instead of me.

And she gave her love to the Assyrian officers.

They were all attractive young men.

Captains and commanders dressed in handsome blue,

charioteers driving their horses. and Syria, worshiping their idols, and defiling herself.

For when she left Egypt, she did not leave her spirit of prostitution behind. She was still as lewd as in her youth when the Egyptians

slept with her, fondled her breasts, and used her as a prostitute.

And so I handed her over to her Assyrian lovers, whom she desired so much.

They stripped her,

took away her children as their slaves, and then killed her.
