| 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. | Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister. | And her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more than the whoredoms of her sister. |
