whore also with the Assyrians, because thou
wast unsatiable;

abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou:
yea, be thou confounded
also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.
