Ezekiel 23:4–10

⁴“Their names were Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister. And they became Mine, and they bore sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah and Jerusalem is Oholibah.

⁵“Oholah played the harlot ¹while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the ^aAssyrians, her neighbors,

⁶who were clothed in purple, ^agovernors and officials, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.

⁷“She gave her harlotries to them, all of them the choicest ¹men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she ^adefiled herself.

⁸“She did not forsake her harlotries ^afrom the time in Egypt; for in her youth ¹men had lain with her, and they handled her virgin bosom and poured out their harlotry on her.

⁹“Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her ^alovers, into the hand of the ¹Assyrians, after whom she lusted.

¹⁰“They ^auncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. Thus she became a despised name among women, and they executed judgments on her.
