^{2 Ref} Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

^{3 Ref} and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.

^{4 Ref} The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.

^{5 Ref} Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,

^{6 Ref} who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.

^{7 Ref} She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.

^{8 Ref} Neither has she left her prostitution since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.

^{9 Ref} Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.

^{10 Ref} These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
