10Don`t tell it in Gath, don`t weep at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust.
11Pass away, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame: the inhabitant of Zaanan hasn`t come forth; the wailing of Beth-ezel shall take from you the stay of it.
12For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil is come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
13Bind the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14Therefore shall you give a parting gift to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
15I will yet bring to you, inhabitant of Mareshah, him who shall possess you: the glory of Israel shall come even to Adullam.
16Make you bald, and cut off your hair for the children of your delight: enlarge your baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from you.
