26:023:004 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.
26:023:005 And Aholah played the harlot when she was
mine; and she doted
on
her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
26:023:006 Which were clothed with blue, captains
and rulers, all of them
desirable
young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
26:023:007 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.
26:023:008 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.
26:023:009 Wherefore I have delivered her into the
hand of her lovers,
into
the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
26:023:010 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.
26:023:011 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.
26:023:012 She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours,
captains and
rulers
clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses,
all
of them desirable young men.
26:023:013 Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
26:023:014 And that she increased her whoredoms:
for when she saw men
pourtrayed
upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans
pourtrayed
with vermilion,
26:023:015 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:
26:023:016 And as soon as she saw them with her eyes,
she doted upon
them,
and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
26:023:017 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.
26:023:018 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.
26:023:019 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.
