[1] Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying, [2] “Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. [3] They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there. [4] Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah. [5] “Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors, [6] who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. [7] She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whoever she lusted after. [8] She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her. [9] “Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted. [10] These uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her. [11] “Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister. [12] She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men. [13] I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same way. [14] “She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with red, [15] dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth. [16] As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Chaldea. [17] The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them. [18] So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated from her sister. [19] Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt. [20] She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses. [21] Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your youthful breasts. [22] “Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘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: [23] the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses. [24] They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments. [25] I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire. [26] They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels. [27] Thus I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.’ [28] “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated. [29] They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution. [30] These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols. [31] You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.’ [32] “The Lord Yahweh says:
‘You will drink of your sister’s cup,
which is deep and large.
You will be ridiculed and held in derision.
It contains much.
[33] You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow,
with the cup of astonishment and desolation,
with the cup of your sister Samaria.
[34] You will even drink it and drain it out.
You will gnaw the broken pieces of it,
and will tear your breasts; [35] “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’ ” [36] Yahweh said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. [37] For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured. [38] Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. [39] For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle of my house. [40] “Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself with ornaments, [41] and sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil. [42] “The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on their heads. [43] Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’ [44] They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. [45] Righteous men will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands. [46] “For the Lord Yahweh says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed. [47] The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. [48] “ ‘Thus I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you. [49] They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.’ ”

King James Version
[1] The wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came again unto me, saying,H559(QalInf) [2] SonH1121 of man,H120 there were twoH8147 women,H802 the daughtersH1323 of oneH259 mother:H517 [3] And they committed whoredomsH2181(QalImpf) in Egypt;H4714 they committed whoredomsH2181(QalPerf) in their youth:H5271 there were their breastsH7699 pressed,H4600(PualPerf) and there they bruisedH6213(PielPerf) the teatsH1717 of their virginity.H1331 [4] And the namesH8034 of them [were] AholahH170 the elder,H1419 and AholibahH172 her sister:H269 and they were mine, and they bareH3205(QalImpf) sonsH1121 and daughters.H1323 Thus [were] their names;H8034 SamariaH8111 [is] Aholah,H170 and JerusalemH3389 Aholibah.H172 [5] And AholahH170 played the harlotH2181(QalImpf) when she was mine;H8478 and she dotedH5689(QalImpf) on her lovers,H157(PielPtc) on the AssyriansH804 [her] neighbours,H7138 [6] [Which were] clothedH3847(QalPasPtc) with blue,H8504 captainsH6346 and rulers,H5461 all of them desirableH2531 young men,H970 horsemenH6571 ridingH7392(QalActPtc) upon horses.H5483 [7] Thus she committedH5414(QalImpf) her whoredomsH8457 with them, with all them [that were] the chosenH4005 menH1121 of Assyria,H804 and with all on whom she doted:H5689(QalPerf) with all their idolsH1544 she defiledH2930(NiphPerf) herself. [8] Neither leftH5800(QalPerf) she her whoredomsH8457 [brought] from Egypt:H4714 for in her youthH5271 they layH7901(QalPerf) with her, and they bruisedH6213(PielPerf) the breastsH1717 of her virginity,H1331 and pouredH8210(QalImpf) their whoredomH8457 upon her. [9] Wherefore I have deliveredH5414(QalPerf) her into the handH3027 of her lovers,H157(PielPtc) into the handH3027 of the Assyrians,H1121 upon whom she doted.H5689(QalPerf) [10] These discoveredH1540(PielPerf) her nakedness:H6172 they tookH3947(QalPerf) her sonsH1121 and her daughters,H1323 and slewH2026(QalPerf) her with the sword:H2719 and she became famousH8034 among women;H802 for they had executedH6213(QalPerf) judgmentH8196 upon her. [11] And when her sisterH269 AholibahH172 sawH7200(QalImpf) [this], she was more corruptH7843(HiphImpf) in her inordinate loveH5691 than she, and in her whoredomsH8457 more than her sisterH269 in [her] whoredoms.H2183 [12] She dotedH5689(QalPerf) upon the AssyriansH1121 [her] neighbours,H7138 captainsH6346 and rulersH5461 clothedH3847(QalPasPtc) most gorgeously,H4358 horsemenH6571 ridingH7392(QalActPtc) upon horses,H5483 all of them desirableH2531 young men.H970 [13] Then I sawH7200(QalImpf) that she was defiled,H2930(NiphPerf) [that] they [took] bothH8147 oneH259 way,H1870 [14] And [that] she increasedH3254(HiphImpf) her whoredoms:H8457 for when she sawH7200(QalImpf) menH582 pourtrayedH2707(PualPtc) upon the wall,H7023 the imagesH6754 of the ChaldeansH3778 pourtrayedH2710(QalPasPtc) with vermilion,H8350 [15] GirdedH2289 with girdlesH232 upon their loins,H4975 exceedingH5628(QalPasPtc) in dyed attireH2871 upon their heads,H7218 all of them princesH7991 to look to,H4758 after the mannerH1823 of the BabyloniansH1121 of Chaldea,H3778 the landH776 of their nativity:H4138 [16] And as soon as she sawH4758 them with her eyes,H5869 she dotedH5689(QalImpf) upon them, and sentH7971(QalImpf) messengersH4397 unto them into Chaldea.H3778 [17] And the BabyloniansH1121 cameH935(QalImpf) to her into the bedH4904 of love,H1730 and they defiledH2930(PielImpf) her with their whoredom,H8457 and she was pollutedH2930(QalImpf) with them, and her mindH5315 was alienatedH3363(QalImpf) from them. [18] So she discoveredH1540(PielImpf) her whoredoms,H8457 and discoveredH1540(PielImpf) her nakedness:H6172 then my mindH5315 was alienatedH3363(QalImpf) from her, like as my mindH5315 was alienatedH5361(QalPerf) from her sister.H269 [19] Yet she multipliedH7235(HiphImpf) her whoredoms,H8457 in calling to remembranceH2142(QalInf) the daysH3117 of her youth,H5271 wherein she had played the harlotH2181(QalPerf) in the landH776 of Egypt.H4714 [20] For she dotedH5689(QalImpf) upon their paramours,H6370 whose fleshH1320 [is as] the fleshH1320 of asses,H2543 and whose issueH2231 [is like] the issueH2231 of horses.H5483 [21] Thus thou calledst to remembranceH6485(QalImpf) the lewdnessH2154 of thy youth,H5271 in bruisingH6213(QalInf) thy teatsH1717 by the EgyptiansH4714 for the papsH7699 of thy youth.H5271 [22] Therefore, O Aholibah,H172 thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Behold, I will raise upH5782(HiphPtc) thy loversH157(PielPtc) against thee, from whom thy mindH5315 is alienated,H5361(QalPerf) and I will bringH935(HiphPerf) them against thee on every side;H5439 [23] The Babylonians,H1121 and all the Chaldeans,H3778 Pekod,H6489 and Shoa,H7772 and Koa,H6970 [and] all the AssyriansH1121 with them: all of them desirableH2531 young men,H970 captainsH6346 and rulers,H5461 great lordsH7991 and renowned,H7121(QalPasPtc) all of them ridingH7392(QalActPtc) upon horses.H5483 [24] And they shall comeH935(QalPerf) against thee with chariots,H2021 wagons,H7393 and wheels,H1534 and with an assemblyH6951 of people,H5971 [which] shall setH7760(QalImpf) against thee bucklerH6793 and shieldH4043 and helmetH6959 round about:H5439 and I will setH5414(QalPerf) judgmentH4941 beforeH6440 them, and they shall judgeH8199(QalPerf) thee according to their judgments.H4941 [25] And I will setH5414(QalPerf) my jealousyH7068 against thee, and they shall dealH6213(QalPerf) furiouslyH2534 with thee: they shall take awayH5493(HiphImpf) thy noseH639 and thine ears;H241 and thy remnantH319 shall fallH5307(QalImpf) by the sword:H2719 they shall takeH3947(QalImpf) thy sonsH1121 and thy daughters;H1323 and thy residueH319 shall be devouredH398(NiphImpf) by the fire.H784 [26] They shall also stripH6584(HiphPerf) thee out of thy clothes,H899 and take awayH3947(QalPerf) thy fairH8597 jewels.H3627 [27] Thus will I make thy lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673(HiphPerf) from thee, and thy whoredomH2184 [brought] from the landH776 of Egypt:H4714 so that thou shalt not lift upH5375(QalImpf) thine eyesH5869 unto them, nor rememberH2142(QalImpf) EgyptH4714 any more. [28] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Behold, I will deliverH5414(QalActPtc) thee into the handH3027 [of them] whom thou hatest,H8130(QalPerf) into the handH3027 [of them] from whom thy mindH5315 is alienated:H5361(QalPerf) [29] And they shall dealH6213(QalPerf) with thee hatefully,H8135 and shall take awayH3947(QalPerf) all thy labour,H3018 and shall leaveH5800(QalPerf) thee nakedH5903 and bare:H6181 and the nakednessH6172 of thy whoredomsH2183 shall be discovered,H1540(NiphPerf) both thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredoms.H8457 [30] I will doH6213(QalInf) these [things] unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoringH2181(QalInf) afterH310 the heathen,H1471 [and] because thou art pollutedH2930(NiphPerf) with their idols.H1544 [31] Thou hast walkedH1980(QalPerf) in the wayH1870 of thy sister;H269 therefore will I giveH5414(QalPerf) her cupH3563 into thine hand.H3027 [32] Thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Thou shalt drinkH8354(QalImpf) of thy sister’sH269 cupH3563 deepH6013 and large:H7342 thou shalt be laughed to scornH6712 and had in derision;H3933 it containethH3557(HiphInf) much.H4767 [33] Thou shalt be filledH4390(NiphImpf) with drunkennessH7943 and sorrow,H3015 with the cupH3563 of astonishmentH8047 and desolation,H8077 with the cupH3563 of thy sisterH269 Samaria.H8111 [34] Thou shalt even drinkH8354(QalPerf) it and suck [it] out,H4680(QalPerf) and thou shalt breakH1633(PielImpf) the sherdsH2789 thereof, and pluck offH5423(PielImpf) thine own breasts:H7699 for I have spokenH1696(PielPerf) [it], saithH5002(QalPasPtc) the LordH136 God.H3069 [35] Therefore thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 Because thou hast forgottenH7911(QalPerf) me, and castH7993(HiphImpf) me behindH310 thy back,H1458 therefore bearH5375(QalImpv) thou also thy lewdnessH2154 and thy whoredoms.H8457 [36] The LordH3068 saidH559(QalImpf) moreover unto me; SonH1121 of man,H120 wilt thou judgeH8199(QalImpf) AholahH170 and Aholibah?H172 yea, declareH5046(HiphImpv) unto them their abominations;H8441 [37] That they have committed adultery,H5003(PielPerf) and bloodH1818 [is] in their hands,H3027 and with their idolsH1544 have they committed adultery,H5003(PielPerf) and have also caused their sons,H1121 whom they bareH3205(QalPerf) unto me, to pass for them throughH5674(HiphPerf) [the fire], to devourH402 [them]. [38] Moreover this they have doneH6213(QalPerf) unto me: they have defiledH2930(PielPerf) my sanctuaryH4720 in the same day,H3117 and have profanedH2490(PielPerf) my sabbaths.H7676 [39] For when they had slainH7819(QalInf) their childrenH1121 to their idols,H1544 then they cameH935(QalImpf) the same dayH3117 into my sanctuaryH4720 to profaneH2490(PielInf) it; and, lo, thus have they doneH6213(QalPerf) in the midstH8432 of mine house.H1004 [40] And furthermore,H637 that ye have sentH7971(QalImpf) for menH582 to comeH935(QalActPtc) from far,H4801 unto whom a messengerH4397 [was] sent;H7971(QalPasPtc) and, lo, they came:H935(QalPerf) for whom thou didst washH7364(QalPerf) thyself, paintedstH3583(QalPerf) thy eyes,H5869 and deckedstH5710(QalPerf) thyself with ornaments,H5716 [41] And satestH3427(QalPerf) upon a statelyH3520 bed,H4296 and a tableH7979 preparedH6186(QalPasPtc) beforeH6440 it, whereupon thou hast setH7760(QalPerf) mine incenseH7004 and mine oil.H8081 [42] And a voiceH6963 of a multitudeH1995 being at easeH7961 [was] with her: and with the menH582 of the common sortH7230 [were] broughtH935(HophPtc) SabeansH5436(Qere) from the wilderness,H4057 which putH5414(QalImpf) braceletsH6781 upon their hands,H3027 and beautifulH8597 crownsH5850 upon their heads.H7218 [43] Then saidH559(QalImpf) I unto [her that was] oldH1087 in adulteries,H5004 Will they now commitH2181(QalImpf) whoredomsH8457 with her, and she [with them]? [44] Yet they went inH935(QalImpf) unto her, as they go inH935(QalInf) unto a womanH802 that playeth the harlot:H2181(QalActPtc) so went they inH935(QalPerf) unto AholahH170 and unto Aholibah,H172 the lewdH2154 women.H802 [45] And the righteousH6662 men,H582 they shall judgeH8199(QalImpf) them after the mannerH4941 of adulteresses,H5003(QalActPtc) and after the mannerH4941 of women that shedH8210(QalActPtc) blood;H1818 because they [are] adulteresses,H5003(QalActPtc) and bloodH1818 [is] in their hands.H3027 [46] For thus saithH559(QalPerf) the LordH136 God;H3069 I will bring upH5927(HiphInf) a companyH6951 upon them, and will giveH5414(QalInf) them to be removedH2189 and spoiled.H957 [47] And the companyH6951 shall stoneH7275(QalPerf) them with stones,H68 and dispatchH1254(PielInf) them with their swords;H2719 they shall slayH2026(QalImpf) their sonsH1121 and their daughters,H1323 and burn upH8313(QalImpf) their housesH1004 with fire.H784 [48] Thus will I cause lewdnessH2154 to ceaseH7673(HiphPerf) out of the land,H776 that all womenH802 may be taughtH3256(NithPerf) not to doH6213(QalImpf) after your lewdness.H2154 [49] And they shall recompenseH5414(QalPerf) your lewdnessH2154 upon you, and ye shall bearH5375(QalImpf) the sinsH2399 of your idols:H1544 and ye shall knowH3045(QalPerf) that I [am] the LordH136 God.H3069
