“Oholah played the harlot while she was Mine; and she lusted after her lovers, after the Assyrians, her neighbors,

She bestowed her harlotries on them, all of whom were the choicest men of Assyria; and with all whom she lusted after, with all their idols she defiled herself.

Therefore, I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, after whom she lusted.

She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and officials, the ones near, magnificently dressed, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.

When she saw them she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea.

She lusted after their paramours, whose flesh is like the flesh of donkeys and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
