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.
