1 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
2 “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother,
3 and they prostituted themselves in Egypt in their childhood; they were prostituting themselves there, and their breasts were fondled, and there they caressed the bosoms of their virginity.
4 Now as for their names, the older was Oholah, and Oholibah was her sister. And they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters, and their names are Samaria for Oholah, and Jerusalem for Oholibah.
5 And Oholah prostituted herself while she was still mine, and she lusted for her lovers, for Assyria who was nearby,
6 clothed in blue cloth, governors and prefects, handsome young men and all of them horsemen, experts on horseback.
7 And she bestowed her fornication on them, on the choice ones of the Assyrians, all of them, and with every one after which she lusted; with all of their idols she defiled herself.
