1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying# ,
			2	Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
			3	And they committed whoredoms# in Egypt; they committed whoredoms# in their youth: there were their breasts pressed# , and there they bruised# the teats of their virginity.
			4	And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare# sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah. [Aholah: that is, His tent, or, tabernacle] [Aholibah: that is, My tabernacle in her]
			5	And Aholah played the harlot# when she was mine; and she doted# on her lovers# , on the Assyrians her neighbours,
			6	Which were clothed# with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding# upon horses.
			7	Thus she committed# her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted# : with all their idols she defiled# herself. [committed...: Heb. bestowed her whoredoms upon them] [the chosen...: Heb. the choice of the children of Asshur]
			8	Neither left# she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay# with her, and they bruised# the breasts of her virginity, and poured# their whoredom upon her.
			9	Wherefore I have delivered# her into the hand of her lovers# , into the hand of the Assyrians# , upon whom she doted# .
			10	These discovered# her nakedness: they took# her sons and her daughters, and slew# her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed# judgment upon her. [famous: Heb. a name]
			11	And when her sister Aholibah saw# this , she was more corrupt# in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms. [she was...: Heb. she corrupted her inordinate love more than, etc] [more than...: Heb. more than the whoredoms of her sister]
			12	She doted# upon the Assyrians# her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed# most gorgeously, horsemen riding# upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
			13	Then I saw# that she was defiled# , that they took both one way,
			14	And that she increased# her whoredoms: for when she saw# men pourtrayed# upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed# with vermilion,
			15	Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding# in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians# of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
			16	And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted# upon them, and sent# messengers unto them into Chaldea. [as soon...: Heb. at the sight of her eyes]
			17	And the Babylonians# came# to her into the bed of love, and they defiled# her with their whoredom, and she was polluted# with them, and her mind was alienated# from them. [Babylonians: Heb. children of Babel] [alienated: Heb. loosed, or, disjointed]
			18	So she discovered# her whoredoms, and discovered# her nakedness: then my mind was alienated# from her, like as my mind was alienated# from her sister.
			19	Yet she multiplied# her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance# the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot# in the land of Egypt.
			20	For she doted# upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
			21	Thus thou calledst to remembrance# the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising# thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
			22	Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith# the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up# thy lovers# against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated# , and I will bring# them against thee on every side;
			23	The Babylonians# , and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians# with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned# , all of them riding# upon horses.
			24	And they shall come# against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set# against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set# judgment before them, and they shall judge# thee according to their judgments.
			25	And I will set# my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal# furiously with thee: they shall take away# thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall# by the sword: they shall take# thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured# by the fire.
			26	They shall also strip# thee out of thy clothes, and take away# thy fair jewels. [fair...: Heb. instruments of thy decking]
			27	Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease# from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up# thine eyes unto them, nor remember# Egypt any more.
			28	For thus saith# the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver# thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest# , into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated# :
			29	And they shall deal# with thee hatefully, and shall take away# all thy labour, and shall leave# thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered# , both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
			30	I will do# these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring# after the heathen, and because thou art polluted# with their idols.
			31	Thou hast walked# in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give# her cup into thine hand.
			32	Thus saith# the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink# of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth# much.
			33	Thou shalt be filled# with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
			34	Thou shalt even drink# it and suck it out# , and thou shalt break# the sherds thereof, and pluck off# thine own breasts: for I have spoken# it , saith# the Lord GOD.
			35	Therefore thus saith# the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten# me, and cast# me behind thy back, therefore bear# thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
			36	The LORD said# moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge# Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare# unto them their abominations; [judge: or, plead for]
			37	That they have committed adultery# , and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery# , and have also caused their sons, whom they bare# unto me, to pass for them through# the fire , to devour them .
			38	Moreover this they have done# unto me: they have defiled# my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned# my sabbaths.
			39	For when they had slain# their children to their idols, then they came# the same day into my sanctuary to profane# it; and, lo, thus have they done# in the midst of mine house.
			40	And furthermore, that ye have sent# for men to come# from far, unto whom a messenger was sent# ; and, lo, they came# : for whom thou didst wash# thyself, paintedst# thy eyes, and deckedst# thyself with ornaments, [to come: Heb. coming]
			41	And satest# upon a stately bed, and a table prepared# before it, whereupon thou hast set# mine incense and mine oil. [stately: Heb. honourable]
			42	And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort# were brought# Sabeans# # # from the wilderness, which put# bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads. [of the...: Heb. of the multitude of men] [Sabeans: or, drunkards]
			43	Then said# I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit# whoredoms with her, and she with them ? [whoredoms...: Heb. her whoredoms]
			44	Yet they went in# unto her, as they go in# unto a woman that playeth the harlot# : so went they in# unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
			45	And the righteous men, they shall judge# them after the manner of adulteresses# , and after the manner of women that shed# blood; because they are adulteresses# , and blood is in their hands.
			46	For thus saith# the Lord GOD; I will bring up# a company upon them, and will give# them to be removed and spoiled. [to be...: Heb. for a removing and spoil]
			47	And the company shall stone# them with stones, and dispatch# them with their swords; they shall slay# their sons and their daughters, and burn up# their houses with fire. [dispatch...: or, single them out]
			48	Thus will I cause lewdness to cease# out of the land, that all women may be taught# not to do# after your lewdness.
			49	And they shall recompense# your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear# the sins of your idols: and ye shall know# that I am the Lord GOD.
