Two Harlot Sisters
They committed harlotry in btheir youth;
Their breasts were there embraced,
Their virgin bosom was there pressed.
bThey were Mine,
And they bore sons and daughters.
As for their names,
Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
The Older Sister, Samaria
And she lusted for her lovers, the neighboring aAssyrians,
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.
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.
The Younger Sister, Jerusalem
bCaptains and rulers,
Clothed most gorgeously,
Horsemen riding on horses,
All of them desirable young men.
