As I had alienated Myself from her sister.
Then aI balienated Myself from her,
As I had alienated Myself from her sister.

In calling to remembrance the days of her youth,

Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys,
And whose issue is like the issue of horses.

When the aEgyptians pressed your bosom
Because of your youthful breasts.
When the aEgyptians pressed your bosom
Because of your youthful breasts.

a‘Behold, I will stir up your lovers against you,
From whom you have alienated yourself,
And I will bring them against you from every side:
