Verse 5 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.

Ohola trieb Hurerei, da ich sie genommen hatte, und brannte gegen ihre Buhlen, nämlich gegen die Assyrer, die zu ihr kamen,
Y Aholah cometió fornicación en mi poder: y prendose de sus amantes, los Asirios sus vecinos,
Aholá se prostituyó cuando era mía y se apasionó por sus amantes, los asirios, vecinos suyos,
Ohola me fut infidèle; Elle s'enflamma pour ses amants, Les Assyriens ses voisins,
Ed Ohola ha fornicato, ricevendo altri in luogo mio, e si è innamorata de’ suoi amanti, degli Assiri, suoi vicini;

「 阿荷拉 歸我之後卻仍行淫,戀慕所愛的人,就是 亞述 人,都是戰士 ,
