1. The Lord spoke his word to me. He said:
2. “Human being, a woman had two daughters.
3. While they were young, they went to Egypt and became prostitutes. They let men touch and hold their breasts.
4. The older girl was named Oholah, and her sister was named Oholibah. They were mine and had sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5. “Samaria left me. She went to her lover, Assyria. The Assyrians were warriors.
6. They wore blue uniforms. And all of them—governors, commanders and horsemen—were handsome.
7. Samaria became a prostitute for all the important men in Assyria. And she made herself unclean with all the idols of everyone she desired.
