⁴⁴ Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning thee, saying: As the mother—her daughter! ⁴⁵ Thy mother's daughter thou art, Loathing her husband and her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou art, Who loathed their husbands and their sons, Your mother is a Hittite, and your father an Amorite. ⁴⁶ And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger sister, who is dwelling on thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters. ⁴⁷ And—in their ways thou hast not walked, And according to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been loathed, And thou dost more corruptly than they in all thy ways. ⁴⁸ I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy sister hath not done—she and her daughters—As thou hast done—thou and thy daughters. ⁴⁹ Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy She hath not strengthened. ⁵⁰ And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I turn them aside when I have seen. ⁵¹ As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins—she hath not sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that thou hast done. ⁵² Thou also—bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying thy sisters. ⁵³ And I have turned back to their captivity, The captivity of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their midst, ⁵⁴ So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of all that thou hast done, In thy comforting them. ⁵⁵ And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back to your former state. ⁵⁶ And thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy, ⁵⁷ Before thy wickedness is revealed, As at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours, the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round about. ⁵⁸ Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them, an affirmation of Jehovah. ⁵⁹ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath—to break covenant.
⁶⁰ And I—I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant age-during. ⁶¹ And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters—Thine elder with thy younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not by thy covenant. ⁶² And I—I have established My covenant with thee, And thou hast known that I am Jehovah. ⁶³ So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed, And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of man, <sup>2</sup> Two women were daughters of one mother, <sup>3</sup> And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity. <sup>4</sup> And their names are Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names—Samaria is Aholah, And Jerusalem is Aholibah. <sup>5</sup> And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians, <sup>6</sup> Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses, <sup>7</sup> And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled. <sup>8</sup> And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her. <sup>9</sup> Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted. <sup>10</sup> They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with her.
<sup>11</sup> 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. <sup>12</sup> 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. <sup>13</sup> And I see that she hath been defiled, One way is to them both. <sup>14</sup> And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead, <sup>15</sup> 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. <sup>16</sup> And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea. <sup>17</sup> 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. <sup>18</sup> 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. <sup>19</sup> And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt. <sup>20</sup> And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh is the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses—their issue. <sup>21</sup> Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy youth.
<sup>22</sup> Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about. <sup>23</sup> Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them. <sup>24</sup> And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments. <sup>25</sup> And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire. <sup>26</sup> And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous jewels. <sup>27</sup> And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again. <sup>28</sup> For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast alienated. <sup>29</sup> And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms. <sup>30</sup> To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols, <sup>31</sup> In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy hand. <sup>32</sup> Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn,) Abundant to contain. <sup>33</sup> With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria. <sup>34</sup> And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained it, And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, <sup>35</sup> Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
<sup>36</sup> And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations. ³⁷ For they have committed adultery, And blood is in their hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food. ³⁸ Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted. ³⁹ And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house, ⁴⁰ And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment. ⁴¹ And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it. ⁴² And the voice of a multitude at ease is with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads. ⁴³ And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also! ⁴⁴ And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah—the wicked women. ⁴⁵ As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they are adulteresses, And blood is in their hands. ⁴⁶ For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling. ⁴⁷ And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn. ⁴⁸ And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness. ⁴⁹ And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I am the Lord Jehovah!

⁴ And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms are they, ⁵ For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: `Again, go, love a woman, loved of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of Jehovah, the sons of Israel, and they are turning unto other gods, and are lovers of grape-cakes.'

³ I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.

¹ A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.

¹ And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is sitting upon the many waters, ² with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting the earth;'

⁵ and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of the earth.'
