1 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, |
2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: |
3 And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity. |
4 And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. |
5 And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours, |
6 Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses. |
7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself. |
8 Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her. |
