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, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.

8 She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.

9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
