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.
