1 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 ‘Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
3 They became prostitutes in Egypt, engaging in prostitution from their youth. In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.
4 The elder one was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.
5 ‘Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians – warriors
6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen.
