KJ, NKJ, RSV, NIV, I’m not embarrassed by any of them. The Bible is often very contextual, and that can cause some consternation on the part of some, but I’m not sure why the embarrassment.
Alot of you “I’m not embarrassed by anything in the Bible” have no idea of what you are talking about. Not one of you could find the verse that was being referred to in the article. I read the bible every day.
However, concerning the below if ever there was an embarrassing passage this would be in contention with a couple of them I know of.
Try reading this verse or chapter and studying it in a bible class. This is red cheek embarassing material to read out loud in front of a group, assembly or what not. No matter the version or translation.
NIV
Ezekiel 23:19-20

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
