1. Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2. “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
3. They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
4. Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5. “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6. who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7. She gave herself as a prostitute to them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them. She defiled herself with the idols of whoever she lusted after.
