2 Listen, all of you!Earth and everything on it,pay close attention.The Lord God accuses youfrom his holy temple.
3 And he will come downto crush underfootevery pagan altar.
4 Mountains will meltbeneath his feetlike wax beside a fire.Valleys will vanish like waterrushing down a ravine.
5 This will happen because ofthe terrible sins of Israel,the descendants of Jacob.Samaria has led Israel to sin,and pagan altars at Jerusalemhave made Judah sin.
6 So the Lord will leave Samariain ruins—merely an empty fieldwhere vineyards are planted.He will scatter its stonesand destroy its foundations.
7 Samaria's idols will be smashed,and the wagesof temple prostituteswill be destroyed by fire.Silver and gold from those idolswill then be used by foreignersas payment for prostitutes.
8 Because of this tragedy,I go barefoot and naked.My crying and weepingsound like howling wolvesor ostriches.
