3and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4The names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,
6who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7She 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.
8Neither 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.
9Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
