⁴Now as for their names, the older was Oholah, and Oholibah was her sister. And they became mine,^c and they bore sons and daughters, and their names^d are Samaria for Oholah, and Jerusalem for Oholibah. ⁵And Oholah prostituted herself while she was still mine,^e and she lusted for her lovers, for Assyria who was nearby, ⁶clothed in blue cloth, governors and prefects, handsome young men^f and all of them horsemen, experts on horseback.^g ⁷And she bestowed her fornication on them, on the choice ones of the Assyrians,^h all of them, and with every one after which she lusted; with all of their idols she defiled herself. ⁸And her whorings from the time of Egypt she did not abandon, for they slept with her in her childhood, and they caressed the bosoms of her virginity, and they poured out their fornication on her. ⁹Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyriansⁱ after whom she lusted.^j ¹⁰They uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. And she became a name for the women, and they executed judgments against her.
