“Thus 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.”
She did not give up her harlotries which she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom, and they poured out their lust upon her. Israel's Egyptian origins in harlotry persist as she escalates to Assyrian apostasy. The continuity of unfaithfulness from Egypt through Assyria establishes inveterate rebellion.
