4 aThe mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
5 All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the ahigh places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the ahigh places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?

Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will buncover her foundations.
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will buncover her foundations.
7 All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the bpay of a harlot.”
And all her apay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the bpay of a harlot.”
Mourning for Israel and Judah
8 Therefore I will wail and howl,
I will go stripped and naked;
aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
I will go stripped and naked;
aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
9 For her wounds are incurable.
For ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
For ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of1 Shaphir;
The inhabitant of1 Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
The inhabitant of1 Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
