The Coming Judgment on Israel
Listen, O earth, and all that is in it!
Let the Lord God be a witness against you,
The Lord from aHis holy temple.
He will come down
And tread on the high places of the earth.
And the valleys will split
Like wax before the fire,
Like waters poured down a steep place.
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.
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
I will go stripped and naked;
aI will make a wailing like the jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches,
For ait has come to Judah;
It has come to the gate of My people—
To Jerusalem.
The inhabitant of1 Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.
But adisaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were bfound in you.
The houses of bAchzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
The glory of Israel shall come to bAdullam.
Because of your bprecious children;
Enlarge your baldness like an eagle,
For they shall go from you into ccaptivity.
