Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbors,
6
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7
She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8
Neither has she left her prostitution since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
