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.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 23 of Ezekiel. The two sisters, Oholah and Oholibah, represent Samaria and Jerusalem. Their unfaithfulness is described through a sexual metaphor communicating the adoption of foreign alliances and idolatry. Samaria serves as a warning for Jerusalem, but Jerusalem eventually repeats and deepens her conduct.

Die große heißt Ohola und ihre Schwester Oholiba. Und ich nahm sie zur Ehe, und sie gebaren mir Söhne und Töchter. Und Ohola heißt Samaria und Oholiba Jerusalem.
Y llamábanse, la mayor, Aholah, y su hermana, Aholibah; las cuales fueron mías, y parieron hijos e hijas. Y llamáronse, Samaria, Aholah; y Jerusalem, Aholibah.
Sus nombres eran Aholá, la mayor, y Aholibá, su hermana. Llegaron a ser mías y dieron a luz hijos e hijas. En cuanto a sus nombres, Aholá es Samaria y Aholibá es Jerusalén.
L'aînée s'appelait Ohola, Et sa soeur Oholiba; Elles étaient à moi, Et elles ont enfanté des fils et des filles. Ohola, c'est Samarie; Oholiba, c'est Jérusalem.
Or i nomi loro sono: Ohola, la maggiore; ed Oholiba, sua sorella; ma esse divennero mie, e mi partorirono figliuoli, e figliuole; ed i lor nomi sono: d’Ohola, Samaria; e d’Oholiba, Gerusalemme.
E os seus nomes eram: Aolá, a mais velha, e Aolibá, sua irmã; e foram minhas, e tiveram filhos e filhas; e, quanto aos seus nomes, Samaria é Aolá, e Jerusalém é Aolibá.
