I had to search it. It's a real quote: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ezekiel%2023:20&version=NIV

If anyone is curious about its interpretation:

The lewd image here is meant to be striking and to promote disgust at the lust of the Jews after the ways of their slavery in Egypt, as though Egypt had been the abusive lover of her adulterous youth.

If that verse was trying to create a sense of revulsion, it could not have failed more badly.
