7. All its idols will be smashed to pieces.All its wages for being a prostitute will be burned.All its statues will be turned into a pile of rubble.Samaria collected its wages for being a prostitute.That money will again pay for prostitutes.
8. I will mourn and cry because of this.I will walk around barefoot and naked.I will cry like a jackal and mourn like an ostrich.
9. Samaria’s wounds are incurable.⌊The news about Samaria⌋ will come to Judah.It will reach the gates of my people in Jerusalem.
10. Don’t report it in Gath. Don’t cry there.Roll in the dust of Beth Leaphrah.
11. Pass by, naked and ashamed, inhabitants of Shaphir.Don’t come out, inhabitants of Zaanan.Beth Ezel is in mourning.It will take its support away from you.
12. Wait anxiously for good, inhabitants of Maroth.From the Lord disaster will come on the gates of Jerusalem.
13. Harness the horses to the chariots, inhabitants of Lachish.You were the first to lead the people of Zion into sin.The rebellious acts of Israel are found in you.
