As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
023:005 Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted
on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,
023:006 who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them
desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
023:007 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.
023:008 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.
023:009 Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers,
into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
023:010 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.
023:011 Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her
doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than
the prostitution of her sister.
023:012 She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbors,
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them
desirable young men.
023:013 I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
023:014 She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on
the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
023:015 girded with girdles on their waists, with flowing turbans on
their heads, all of them princes to look on, after the likeness
of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
023:016 As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers
to them into Chaldea.
023:017 The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled
her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them,
and her soul was alienated from them.
023:018 So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness:
then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was
alienated from her sister.
023:019 Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days
of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in
the land of Egypt.
023:020 She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh
of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
023:021 Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth,
in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts
of your youth.
023:022 Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will raise
up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated,
and I will bring them against you on every side:
023:023 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa,
