“Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was mine. She lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians – warriors

Therefore I handed her over to her lovers, the Assyrians for whom she lusted.

Soon I will expose her lewd nakedness in front of her lovers, and no one will be able to rescue her from me!

Then she will pursue her lovers, but she will not catch them; she will seek them, but she will not find them. Then she will say, “I will go back to my husband, because I was better off then than I am now.”

“I will punish her for the festival days when she burned incense to the Baal idols; she adorned herself with earrings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but she forgot me!” says the Lord.
