Ezekiel 23:4–10

⁴Oholah was the name of the older and Oholibah the name of her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.^*

⁵Oholah prostituted herself while she was mine; she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors^{w* 6}clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, mounted horsemen. ⁷She bestowed her sexual favors upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols of everyone for whom she lusted.^{* 8}She did not give up her prostitutions that she had practiced since Egypt, for in her youth men had lain with her and fondled her virgin bosom and poured out their lust upon her.^{* 9}Therefore I delivered her into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.^{* 10}These uncovered her nakedness; they seized her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. Judgment was executed upon her, and she became a byword among women.^*
