5 “Oholah played the harlot even though she was Mine;
And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring aAssyrians,

6 Who were clothed in purple,
Captains and rulers,
All of them desirable young men,
Horsemen riding on horses.

All of them choice men of Assyria;
And with all for whom she lusted,
With all their idols, she defiled herself.

8 She has never given up her harlotry brought afrom Egypt,
For in her youth they had lain with her,
Pressed her virgin bosom,
And poured out their immorality upon her.

Into the hand of her lovers,
Into the hand of the aAssyrians,
For whom she lusted.

Took away her sons and daughters,
And slew her with the sword;
She became a byword among women,
For they had executed judgment on her.
