5 But Oholah prostituted herself even when she was mine. She lusted for her lovers: for the Assyrian warriors, 6 princes and captains dressed in fine clothes. They were attractive young men riding their horses, 7 and she gave them sexual favours. They were all the best of Assyria’s men, and she defiled herself with everyone she lusted for, and with all their idols. 8 She hadn’t left her prostitute behaviour behind in Egypt, where they’d slept with her when she was young—caressing her virgin nipples and pouring their lust out on her.

9 That’s why I handed her over to her lovers—those Assyrians that she lusted for. 10 They uncovered her nakedness, took her sons and daughters, and killed her with the sword. She’d become notorious among women, so they executed judgement on her.
