Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
I'm going to put an end to all your unfaithfulness and the toxic patterns you picked up back in Egypt. You won't even look their way anymore or think about going back to that mess.
God's breaking you free from the toxic cycles that have been holding you back.
