1. What sorrow awaits the proud city of Samaria—the glorious crown of the drunks of Israel.It sits at the head of a fertile valley,but its glorious beauty will fade like a flower.It is the pride of a peoplebrought down by wine.
2. For the Lord will send a mighty army against it.Like a mighty hailstorm and a torrential rain,they will burst upon it like a surging floodand smash it to the ground.
3. The proud city of Samaria—the glorious crown of the drunks of Israel—will be trampled beneath its enemies’ feet.
