Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, And for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? aren`t they Jerusalem?
6 Therefore I will make Samaria as a heap of the field, [and] as places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down the stones of it into the valley, and I will uncover the foundations of it.
7 All her engraved images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her hires shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I lay desolate; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return.
8 For this will I lament and wail; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the ostriches.
9 For her wounds are incurable; for it is come even to Judah; it reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
10 Don`t tell it in Gath, don`t weep at all: at Beth-le-aphrah have I rolled myself in the dust.
11 Pass 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.
