Ezechiele 23:18
To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Ezekiel 23:2-6
2
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3
and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4
The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5
Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,
6
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
