every time someone whips out a proverb, I just reply with this one.
It's funny seeing them looking it up
Especially good when you explain that Oholibah is Jerusalem and it's a metaphor for how the Israelites whored themselves out against G-d and continually disregard the Lord's commands. Ezekial is saying, in the most baller ass way, "Israel, y'all a bunch of ho bags, and the Lord has/will let y'all get decimated by the Babylonians and Chaldeans. So, stop being bad" It's a really interesting prophetical book to read.
In this metaphor, what does the donkey dick and horse cum represent?
It's a very long, old way to say, Israel was horny for other gods from surrounding states. I don't believe they individually mean anything.
