23:5 「阿荷拉歸我之後行邪淫，貪戀所愛的人，就是她的鄰邦亞述人。
23:6 這些人都穿藍衣，作省長、副省長，都騎著馬，是可愛的少年人。
23:7 阿荷拉就與亞述人中最美的男子放縱淫行，她因所戀愛之人的一切偶像，玷污自己。
23:8 自從在埃及的時候，她就沒有離開淫亂，因為她年幼作處女的時候，埃及人與她行淫，撫摸她的乳，縱慾與她行淫。
23:9 因此，我將她交在她所愛的人手中，就是她所戀愛的亞述人手中。
23:10 他們就露了她的下體，擄掠她的兒女，用刀殺了她，使她在婦女中留下臭名，因他們向她施行審判。
“Oholah played the whore while she was
mine, and she lusted after her lovers the Assyrians, warriors clothed in purple, governors and commanders,
all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses. She bestowed her whoring upon them, the
choicest men of Assyria all of them, and she defiled herself with all the idols
of everyone after whom she lusted. She
did not give up her whoring that she had begun in Egypt; for in her youth men
had lain with her and handled her virgin bosom and poured out their whoring
lust upon her. Therefore I delivered her
into the hands of her lovers, into the hands of the Assyrians, after whom she
lusted. These uncovered her nakedness;
they seized her sons and her daughters; and as for her, they killed her with
the sword; and she became a byword among women, when judgment had been executed
on her.

先知用很清晰的話語來說明阿荷拉的淫行，讓人感覺聖經的文學性是多麼深刻，讓人感受到不是「假道學」，而是深入明白人性，深入彰顯人性，讓人讀來心中有另一份感動，也感受到聖經是「有血有肉」，是貼近人實際的情形。
也因為描寫深入，讓人感受到夫妻的關係是何等重要，不可以隨便，彼此是多麼需要以忠誠來相處，讓這一份關係超越其他的關係，也不容許別人來侵入或取代！而這樣的關係更是上帝與人的關係，尤其是對人來說，不可以讓別的來取代上帝，因為這是超乎其他的關係！
