² Thou sonne of man, there were two wome, that had one mother: ³ These (when they were yonge) beganne to playe the harlottes in Egipte. There were their brestes brussed, and the pappes off their maydenheade destroyed. ⁴ The eldest of them was called Oola, and hir yongest sister Ooliba. These two were myne, and bare sonnes and doughters. Their names were, Samaria, and that was Oola: and Ierusalem, that was Ooliba. ⁵ As for Oola, she beganne to go a whorynge, when I had take her to me.
