Into the hand of her lovers,
Into the hand of the aAssyrians,
For whom she lusted.
Into the hand of her lovers,
Into the hand of the aAssyrians,
For whom she lusted.
10 They uncovered her nakedness,
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.

11 “Now aalthough her sister Oholibah saw this, bshe became more corrupt in her lust than she, and in her harlotry more corrupt than her sister’s harlotry.

Clothed most gorgeously,
Horsemen riding on horses,
All of them desirable young men.
