Young's Literal Translation
Again
the
word of the
LORD
came
to
me, saying,
And
there
is
a
word of Jehovah
unto
me, saying, `Son
of
man,
“Son
of
man,
there
were
two women ,
daughters of the
same
mother,
Two women were
daughters of one
mother,
and they played
in Egypt, prostituting
themselves
from
their youth .
Their breasts were
fondled
there
, and their virgin
bosoms
caressed
.
And they go
a-whoring
in Egypt, In
their youth they
have
gone
a-whoring,
There
they
have
bruised
their breasts, And there
they
have
dealt
with
the
loves
of
their virginity
.
The older
was
named
Oholah
, and her sister was
named
Oholibah.
They became
Mine and gave
birth
to
sons and daughters. As for
their identities,
Oholah
is
Samaria, and Oholibah
is
Jerusalem.
And
their
names
`are'
Aholah
the elder
, And Aholibah
her sister ,
And
they are
Mine ,
and bear
sons and daughters. As to
their names
--
Samaria `is'
Aholah
, And Jerusalem `is'
Aholibah
.
Oholah
prostituted
herself
while
she
was
still
Mine.
She lusted
after
her lovers, the Assyrians —warriors
And
go
a-whoring
doth
Aholah
under
Me,
And
she doteth
on
her lovers, On
the neighbouring
Assyrians ,
clothed in
blue ,
governors and commanders
, all
desirable young men, horsemen mounted
on steeds.
Clothed with
blue --
governors and prefects
, Desirable young men all
of
them
, Horsemen ,
riding
on horses,
She offered
sexual
favors
to
all
the elite
of Assyria.
She
defiled
herself
with
all
the idols
of those
for
whom she lusted
.
And
she giveth
her
whoredoms
on
them,
The choice
of the sons
of Asshur,
All
of
them
--
even
all
on
whom she doted,
By
all
their
idols
she
hath
been
defiled
.
She did
not give
up
the
prostitution
she
began
in
Egypt
, when
men
slept
with her in her youth, caressed
her virgin
bosom
, and poured
out their lust
upon
her.
And
her
whoredoms
out
of
Egypt
she hath
not forsaken
, For
with her they
lay
in her youth, And
they
dealt
with
the
loves
of
her virginity
, And they
pour
out their whoredoms
on
her.
Therefore I delivered
her into the hands
of her lovers, the Assyrians
for
whom she lusted
.
Therefore I have
given
her into the hand
of her lovers, Into
the hand
of
sons
of
Asshur
on
whom she doted
.
They exposed
her nakedness, seized
her sons and daughters, and put
her to
the
sword .
Thus
she became
a byword
among
women, and they executed
judgment
against
her.
They have
uncovered
her nakedness, Her sons and her
daughters they
have
taken
, And her by
sword they
have
slain,
And
she is
a name
for
women, And judgments
they have
done
with
her.
Her sister Oholibah
saw
this
, yet
in
her
lust
and prostitution
she was
more depraved
than her sister.
And
see
doth
her sister Aholibah
, And she maketh
her
doting
love
more corrupt
than she,
And
her whoredoms
than
the
whoredoms
of
her
sister.
She too
lusted
after
the
Assyrians—
governors and commanders
, warriors
dressed
in splendor
, horsemen riding on steeds
, all
desirable young men.
On
sons
of
Asshur
she hath
doted,
Governors and prefects
, Neighbouring
ones
--
clothed
in perfection
, Horsemen ,
riding on horses
, Desirable young men all
of
them
.
And I saw
that she too
had
defiled herself;
both
of
them had
taken
the
same
path
.
And I see
that she hath
been
defiled ,
One
way
`is'
to
them both
.
But
Oholibah
carried
her prostitution
even
further.
She saw
the
men portrayed
on the wall, images
of the
Chaldeans, engraved
in
vermilion
,
And
she
doth
add
unto
her whoredoms,
And
she seeth
graved
men on the wall, Pictures
of Chaldeans, graved
with
red
lead
,
wearing
belts
on their waists
and
flowing
turbans
on their heads ;
all of them looked
like
officers
of
the Babylonians
in
Chaldea
, the land of their birth.
Girded
with
a
girdle
on their loins,
Dyed
attire
spread
out
on their heads ,
The
appearance
of
rulers
--
all of them ,
The likeness
of
sons
of
Babylon
, Chaldea
is
the land of their birth.
At the sight of them
, she
lusted
for
them
and sent
messengers to them in
Chaldea.
And
she
doteth
on
them
at the sight of her
eyes
, And sendeth
messengers to them ,
to
Chaldea.
Then
the
Babylonians
came
to
her, to the bed of love
, and in
their
lust
they defiled
her .
But
after
she had
been
defiled by
them, she
turned
away
in
disgust
.
And
come
in
unto
her do
sons
of
Babylon
, To the bed of loves
, And they defile
her with
their
whoredoms,
And
she is
defiled with
them, And
her
soul
is
alienated
from
them
.
When
Oholibah
openly
prostituted
herself
and exposed
her nakedness, I
turned
away
from her in
disgust
, just
as I
had
turned
away
from her sister.
And she
revealeth
her whoredoms,
And
she
revealeth
her
nakedness, And
alienated
is
My
soul
from off
her, As alienated
was
My
soul
from off
her sister.
Yet
she multiplied
her promiscuity
, remembering
the days of her youth, when she had
prostituted
herself
in the land of Egypt
And
she multiplieth
her whoredoms
, To
remember
the days of her youth, When she went
a-whoring
in the land of Egypt .
and lusted
after
their lovers
, whose genitals
were
like
those
of donkeys
and whose
emission
was
like
that
of stallions
.
And she
doteth
on
their paramours
, Whose flesh
`is'
the
flesh
of asses,
And the
issue
of horses
--
their
issue
.
So
you
revisited
the indecency
of your
youth, when
the Egyptians
caressed
your
bosom
and
pressed
your
young
breasts.
Thou
lookest
after
the wickedness
of thy
youth, In
dealing
out
of
Egypt
thy
loves,
For
the sake
of
the
breasts of
thy
youth
.
Therefore, Oholibah
, this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
I will
incite
your
lovers against you
, those
from whom you
turned
away
in
disgust.
And I
will
bring
them against you
from every
side—
Therefore, O
Aholibah
, thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo,
I am
stirring
up
thy
lovers against thee
, From whom thy
soul
hath
been
alienated,
And have
brought
them in
against thee
from round
about.
the
Babylonians
and all the
Chaldeans
, the
men
of
Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and
all the Assyrians
with them —all
desirable young men, governors and commanders
, officers
and
men
of renown
, mounted
on horses.
Sons
of
Babylon,
and of
all Chaldea
, Pekod, and
Shoa, and Koa, All the sons
of
Asshur
with them ,
Desirable young men, governors and prefects
, All
of them
--
rulers
and
proclaimed
ones
, Riding
on horses ,
all
of
them
.
They will
come against you
with
a
host
of
peoples
, with weapons
, chariots
, and wagons.
They
will
array
themselves
against
you
on
every
side
with buckler
and shield and helmet .
I will
delegate
judgment
to
them, and
they will
punish
you
according
to
their own
standards
.
And
they have
come in
against thee
, With arms
, rider
, and wheel,
And
with an
assembly
of
peoples;
Target,
and shield ,
and helmet ,
They
do
set
against
thee
round
about,
And
I have
set
before
them judgment
, They have
judged
thee
in
their Judgments
.
And I will
set My jealous
rage
against you
, and they will
deal
with you
in fury .
They
will
cut
off
your
noses
and ears, and your
survivors
will
fall
by the
sword .
They will
seize
your
sons and daughters, and your
remnant
will
be
consumed
by fire.
And I have
set My jealousy
against thee
, And they have
dealt
with thee
in fury ,
Thy
nose
and thine
ears they
turn
aside
, And thy
posterity
by sword falleth,
They ,
thy
sons and thy
daughters do
take
away
, And thy
posterity
is
devoured
by fire.
They will
strip
off
your
clothes
and take
your
fine
jewelry
.
And
they have
stripped
thee
of
thy
garments,
And have
taken
thy
beauteous
jewels
.
So
I will
put
an
end
to your
indecency
and
prostitution
, which
began
in
the land of Egypt, and you
will
not lift
your
eyes to
them or
remember
Egypt anymore
. ’
And
I have
caused
thy
wickedness
to cease
from
thee
, And
thy
whoredoms
out
of
the land of Egypt, And thou
liftest
not up
thine
eyes unto
them ,
And
Egypt thou
dost
not
remember
again
.
For this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘Surely
I will
deliver
you
into the
hands
of
those
you
hate
, from whom
you
turned
away
in
disgust
.
For thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Lo,
I am
giving
thee
into a
hand
that
thou
hast
hated
, Into
a
hand
from which
thou
wast
alienated
.
They will
treat
you
with hatred, take
all
for
which
you
have worked
, and leave
you
naked and bare, so
that
the shame
of your
prostitution
will
be
exposed.
Your
indecency
and promiscuity
And
they have
dealt
with thee
in
hatred, And
they
have taken
all
thy
labour
, And they
have
left
thee
naked and bare, And
revealed
hath
been
the nakedness
of thy
whoredoms,
And the
wickedness
of
thy
whoredoms.
have
brought
these things upon
you
, because
you
have
prostituted
yourself
with
the
nations and
defiled yourself
with their idols .
To
do
these things to
thee
, In
thy
going
a-whoring
after
nations ,
Because
thou
hast
been
defiled with their idols ,
Because
you
have
followed
the path
of your
sister, I will
put
her cup into your
hand. ’
In
the way
of thy
sister thou
hast
walked
, And
I have
given
her cup into thy
hand.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘You
will
drink
your
sister’s
cup, a
cup
deep and wide .
It
will
bring
scorn
and
derision
, for it
holds
so
much
.
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: The
cup of
thy
sister
thou
dost
drink
, The
deep and the
wide one
, (Thou
art
for laughter
and
for
scorn,)
Abundant
to
contain
.
You
will
be
filled
with drunkenness and grief
, with
a cup of devastation
and desolation, the cup of your
sister Samaria.
With drunkenness and sorrow
thou
art
filled
, A cup of astonishment
and desolation, The cup of thy
sister Samaria.
You
will
drink
it
and drain
it ;
you
will
dash
it to
pieces
, and tear
your
breasts .
For I have spoken, ’
declares
the Lord GOD.
And thou
hast
drunk
it ,
and
hast
drained
`
it '
, And its
earthen
ware
thou
dost
gnaw,
And
thine
own
breasts thou
pluckest
off,
For I have spoken, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah,
Therefore this
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Because you
have
forgotten Me and have
cast Me behind your
back, you
must
bear the
consequences
of
your
indecency
and prostitution
. ’”
Therefore ,
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Because thou
hast
forgotten Me ,
And thou
dost
cast Me behind thy
back, Even
thou
also
bear thy
wickedness
and thy
whoredoms
. '
Then
the
LORD
said
to
me :
“
Son of man, will
you
pass
judgment
against
Oholah
and Oholibah
? Then
declare to them their abominations.
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me ,
`
Son of man, Dost
thou
judge
Aholah
and Aholibah
? Declare then
to them their abominations.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is on
their hands .
They
have
committed
adultery
with their idols .
They have
even
sacrificed
their
children
, whom they bore to Me, in
the
fire
as
food
for their
idols
.
For they have committed adultery, And blood `
is '
in
their hands ,
With their idols they committed
adultery
, And
also
their
sons
whom they bore to Me, They
caused
to
pass
over
to
them
for food
.
They have also
done this
to Me :
On
that
very
same
day
, they defiled My sanctuary and profaned
My Sabbaths.
Again,
this
they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in
that
day,
And My sabbaths they
have
polluted
.
On
the
very
day
they
slaughtered
their children
for
their idols ,
they entered
My sanctuary to profane
it .
Yes
, they did
this
inside
My house .
And
in
their slaughtering
their sons
to
their
idols They also
come
in
unto
My sanctuary in
that
day
to pollute
it, And
lo,
thus
they have
done
in
the
midst
of
My house ,
Furthermore,
you
sisters
sent
messengers
for
men who
came
from afar ;
and behold
, when
they arrived,
you
bathed
for them
, painted your
eyes, and adorned
yourself
with
jewelry
.
And
also
that
they
send
to
men coming
from afar ,
Unto
whom
a
messenger
is
sent,
And lo
, they have
come
in
for whom
thou
hast
washed
, Painted thine
eyes, and put
on
adornment
.
You
sat on a couch of luxury
with
a table spread
before it, on
which
you
had
set
My incense
and My oil ,
And
thou
hast
sat on a couch of honour,
And
a table arrayed
before it, And
My perfume
and My oil placed
on
it.
accompanied
by
the sound
of a carefree
crowd.
Drunkards
were
brought
in
from
the
desert
along
with men from the rabble
, who
put bracelets on your
wrists
and beautiful
crowns
on your
head
.
And
the voice
of a multitude
at
ease
`is'
with her,
And
unto
men of
the
common
people
are
brought
in
Sabeans
from the wilderness
, And
they
put bracelets on their
hands,
And a
beauteous
crown
on their
heads
.
Then
I said
of her
who
had
grown
old
in adulteries :
‘
Now let
them
use
her as
a
prostitute,
for
that
is
all
she is
! ’
And
I say
of the
worn-out
one
in adulteries ,
Now they
commit
her whoredoms
--
she also
!
And they slept
with
her as with
a prostitute;
they slept
with
Oholah
and
Oholibah
, those
lewd
women.
And they come
in
unto
her ,
As the
coming
in
unto
a whorish
woman,
So
they have
come
in
unto
Aholah
, And
unto
Aholibah
--
the
wicked
women.
But
righteous men will
sentence
them to
the punishment
of those
who
commit
adultery
and bloodshed
, because
they are adulteresses with
blood on
their hands.
As
to
righteous men ,
they
judge
them with
the judgment
of adulteresses,
And the
judgment
of
women
shedding
blood
, For
they `
are '
adulteresses ,
And
blood `is'
in
their hands.
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
: ‘
Bring a
mob
against them and consign
them to terror
and plunder
.
For
thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
: Bring up
against them an
assembly,
And give
them to trembling
and to
spoiling
.
The mob
will
stone them
and cut them down
with their swords .
They
will
kill
their sons and daughters and burn
down
their houses.
And
they
have
cast
at
them
the stone of
the
assembly,
And cut them with their swords ,
Their sons and their
daughters they
do
slay,
And their houses with
fire
they
burn
.
So
I will
put
an
end
to indecency
in
the land, and all the women will
be
admonished
not to imitate
your behavior
.
And
I have
caused
wickedness
to cease
from
the land, And instructed
have
been
all the women ,
And
they
do
not according
to your wickedness
.
They will
repay
you
for
your indecency
, and you
will
bear
the consequences
of
your
sins of idolatry.
Then
you
will
know
that I am the Lord GOD.’”
And
they have
put
your wickedness
on
you
, And the sins of your
idols
ye
bear,
And
ye
have
known
that I `
am '
the Lord Jehovah!
