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.
