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

⁵ “Oholah prostituted herself ^[a]while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the ^(A)Assyrians, her neighbors, ⁶ who were clothed in purple, ^(B)governors and officials, all of them handsome young men, horsemen riding on horses. ⁷ She bestowed her ^[b]obscene practices on them, all of whom were the choicest ^[c]men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she ^(C)defiled herself. ⁸ She did not abandon her obscene practices ^(D)from the time in Egypt; for in her youth ^[d]men had slept with her, and they handled her virgin breasts and poured out their obscene practice on her. ⁹ Therefore, I handed her over to her ^(E)lovers, to the ^[e]Assyrians, after whom she lusted. ¹⁰ They ^(F)uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters, but they killed her with the sword. So she became a ^[f]subject of gossip among women, and they executed judgments on her.
