seen
concerning Samaria and Jerusalem :

them!

fulness,
And the Lord Jehovah
is
against you for
a
witness
, The Lord from His holy temple.

Melted
have
been
the mountains under Him, And the valleys do
rend
themselves
, As wax from
the presence
of
fire, As waters cast
down by
a slope
.

be
molten
under him, and the valleys shall
be
cleft
, as wax before

I have
set
Samaria for
a
heap of the field, For
plantations
of a vineyard ,
And poured
out
into a
valley her
stones
, And her
foundations
I uncover
.

I will
make
Samaria as
an
heap of the field, and
as
plantings

down
the
stones
thereof
into the

discover
the
foundations
thereof
.
And all her
graven images are
beaten down
, And all her
gifts
are
burnt
with fire, And all her
idols I make
a
desolation,
For ,
from
the hire of a
harlot she
gathered
, and unto
the hire of a
harlot they
return
.
And all the
graven images thereof
shall
be
beaten to
pieces
, and all the
hires
thereof
shall
be
burned
with the
fire, and all the
idols thereof
will
I lay
desolate:
for she
gathered
it
of
the hire of an
harlot, and they
shall
return
to
the hire of an
harlot.
For
this
I lament
and howl, I go spoiled
and naked ,
I make a lamentation
like dragons, And a
mourning like
daughters
of
an
ostrich
.
Therefore
I will
wail
and howl, I will
go stripped
and naked :
I will
make a wailing
like the
dragons, and mourning as
the
owls
.
