1. The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:
2. “Son of man, there were two women,The daughters of one mother.
3. They committed harlotry in Egypt,They committed harlotry in their youth;Their breasts were there embraced,Their virgin bosom was there pressed.
4. Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister;They were Mine,And they bore sons and daughters.As for their names,Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
5. “Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine;And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring Assyrians,
6. Who were clothed in purple,Captains and rulers,All of them desirable young men,Horsemen riding on horses.
7. Thus she committed her harlotry with them,All of them choice men of Assyria;And with all for whom she lusted,With all their idols, she defiled herself.
