King James Version
The word of Yahweh
came again to
me, saying,
The word of the
LORD
came again unto
me, saying,
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
and 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.
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.
The 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
.
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
.
Oholah
played the prostitute
when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [
her ]
neighbors
,
And
Aholah
played the harlot
when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours
,
who
were clothed with blue, governors
and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on
horses.
Which
were clothed with blue, captains
and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon
horses.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Therefore
I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on
whom she doted.
Wherefore
I have
delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon
whom she doted.
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.
These discovered
her nakedness :
they took her sons and her daughters ,
and slew
her with the sword: and she became famous
among women; for they had
executed judgment
upon
her.
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.
And
when
her sister Aholibah
saw this, she was
more corrupt in her inordinate
love
than she, and in her whoredoms
more than her sister in
her
whoredoms
.
She doted on
the Assyrians, governors
and rulers ,
[her]
neighbors,
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on
horses, all of them desirable young men.
She doted upon
the Assyrians her
neighbours
, captains
and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon
horses, all of them desirable young men.
I saw that she was defiled ;
they both
took one way .
Then
I saw that she was defiled ,
that
they took both
one way ,
She increased her prostitution;
for she saw men portrayed
on
the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed
with vermilion,
And
that
she increased her whoredoms:
for when
she saw men pourtrayed
upon
the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed
with vermilion,
girded with girdles on
their loins, 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.
Girded with girdles upon
their loins, exceeding
in
dyed
attire
upon
their heads, all of them princes to look to
, after the manner
of the Babylonians of
Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
As soon as she saw them she doted on
them, and sent messengers to
them into Chaldea.
And
as soon as she saw them with
her
eyes,
she doted upon
them, and sent messengers unto
them into Chaldea.
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.
And
the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom
, and she was polluted with them, and her mind
was alienated from them.
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.
So she discovered
her whoredoms
, and discovered
her nakedness: then my mind
was alienated from her, like as my mind
was alienated from her sister.
Yet she multiplied her prostitution
, remembering
the days of her youth, in
which
she had played the prostitute
in the land of Egypt.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms
, in
calling
to
remembrance
the days of her youth, wherein
she had played the harlot
in the land of Egypt.
She doted on
their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys
, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
For
she doted upon
their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses
, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
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.
Thus thou
calledst
to remembrance
the lewdness of thy
youth, in bruising
thy
teats
by the Egyptians for the paps
of thy
youth.
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 :
Therefore, O
Aholibah
, thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will raise up thy
lovers against thee
, from whom thy
mind
is alienated, and I will bring them against thee
on every side ;
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [
and ]
all the Assyrians with them ;
desirable young men, governors
and rulers all
of
them
, princes
and men
of
renown
, all of them riding on
horses.
The Babylonians ,
and all the Chaldeans, Pekod ,
and Shoa ,
and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them :
all
of
them
desirable young men, captains
and rulers, great
lords
and renowned
, all of them riding upon
horses.
They shall come against you
with weapons,
chariots, and
wagons, and with a
company
of peoples;
they
shall set themselves
against you
with
buckler and shield and helmet round about ;
and I will commit
the
judgment to
them, and they shall judge you
according to their judgments.
And
they shall come against thee
with chariots, wagons, and wheels,
and
with an
assembly
of people,
which
shall set against thee
buckler and shield and helmet round about :
and I will set
judgment before
them, and they shall judge thee
according to their judgments.
I will set my jealousy against you
, and they shall deal with you
in
fury;
they shall take away your
nose and your
ears; and your
residue
shall fall by the sword: they shall take your
sons and your
daughters; and your
residue shall be devoured by the fire.
And
I will set my jealousy against thee
, and they shall deal furiously
with thee:
they shall take away thy
nose and thine
ears; and thy
remnant
shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy
sons and thy
daughters; and thy
residue shall be devoured by the fire.
They shall also strip you
of your
clothes, and take away your
beautiful
jewels.
They shall also strip thee
out
of thy
clothes, and take away thy
fair
jewels.
Thus will I make your
lewdness to cease from you
, and your
prostitution
[
brought ]
from the land of Egypt ;
so that you
shall
not lift up your
eyes to
them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Thus will I make thy
lewdness to cease from thee
, and thy
whoredom
brought from the land of Egypt :

shalt
not lift up thine
eyes unto
them, nor remember Egypt any more.
For thus says
the Lord Yahweh:
Behold, I will deliver you
into the hand of them whom you
hate
, into the hand of them from whom your
soul
is alienated ;
For thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Behold, I will deliver thee
into the hand of them whom thou
hatest
, into the hand of them from whom thy
mind
is alienated :
and they shall deal with you
in
hatred
, and shall take away all your
labor
, and shall leave you
naked and bare ;
and the nakedness of your
prostitution
shall be uncovered
, both your
lewdness and your
prostitution
.
And they shall deal with thee
hatefully
, and shall take away all thy
labour
, and shall leave thee
naked and bare :
and the nakedness of thy
whoredoms
shall be discovered
, both thy
lewdness and thy
whoredoms
.
These things shall
be
done
to
you
, because you
have
played
the
prostitute
after the nations
, and because you
are
polluted with their idols.
I
will
do
these things unto
thee
, because thou
hast
gone
a
whoring
after the heathen
, and because thou
art
polluted with their idols.
You
have
walked in the way of your
sister; therefore will I give her cup into your
hand.
Thou
hast
walked in the way of thy
sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine
hand.
Thus says
the Lord Yahweh:
You
shall
drink of your
sister's cup ,
which
is
deep and large ;
you
shall
ridiculed
and had in derision; it contains
much.
Thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Thou
shalt
drink of thy
sister's cup deep and large :
thou
shalt
be

to
scorn
and had in derision; it containeth
much.
You
shall
be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your
sister Samaria.

sister Samaria.
You

the broken
pieces
of
it
, and shall
tear
your
breasts ;
for I have spoken it, says
the Lord Yahweh
.
Thou
shalt
even drink it and suck
it out, and thou
shalt
break
the sherds
thereof
, and pluck
off
thine
own
breasts :
for I have spoken it, saith
the Lord GOD
.
Therefore thus says
the Lord Yahweh:
Because you
have
forgotten me, and cast me behind your
back, therefore bear you
also your
lewdness and your
prostitution
.
Therefore thus saith
the Lord GOD;
Because thou
hast
forgotten me, and cast me behind thy
back, therefore bear thou
also thy
lewdness and thy
whoredoms
.
Yahweh
said moreover to
me :
Son of man, will
you
judge Oholah
and Oholibah
? then
declare to
them their abominations .
The
LORD
said moreover unto
me ;
Son of man, wilt
thou
judge Aholah
and Aholibah
? yea,
declare unto
them their abominations ;
For
they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands ;
and with their idols have they committed adultery ;
and they
have also caused their sons, whom they bore
to
me, to pass through [
the fire ]
to them to
be
devoured
.

me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

house.

have sent for men who
come from far, to
whom a messenger was sent ,
and, behold
, they came ;
for whom you
did
wash yourself
, paint
your
eyes, and deck
yourself
with ornaments,

furthermore ,
that
ye
have sent for men to
come from far, unto
whom a messenger was sent ;

, they came :
for whom thou
didst
wash thyself

on
a stately bed, with
a table prepared before it, whereupon you
did
set my
incense and my
oil.

voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards

them
[twain]
, and beautiful crowns on
their heads.

her who
was old in adulteries, Now
will they play
the
prostitute
with her, and she [
with them ].
Then said I unto
her that
was old in adulteries, Will they now
commit
whoredoms
with her, and she with them ?
They went in to
her, as they go in to
a prostitute
: so went they in to
Oholah
and to
Oholibah
, the lewd women.
Yet
they went in unto
her, as they go in unto
a woman
that
playeth
the
harlot
: so went they in unto
Aholah
and unto
Aholibah
, the lewd women.
Righteous men, they shall 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.
And
the
righteous men, they shall judge them after
the manner
of adulteresses, and after
the manner

them, and will give them to be tossed
back
and
forth
and robbed
