Aholibah (Jerusalem) Follows Her Sister’s Sin

11

And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.

12

On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones--clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.

13

And I see that she hath been defiled, One way is to them both.

14

And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,

15

Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers--all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.

16

And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea.

17

And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.

18

And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off her sister.

19

And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt.

20

And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh is the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses--their issue.

21

Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
