4 The mountains will melt beneath Him,and the valleys will split apart,like wax near a fire, like water cascading down a mountainside.
5 All this will happen because of Jacob’s rebellionand the sins of the house of Israel.What is the rebellion of Jacob?Isn’t it Samaria? And what is the high place of Judah? Isn’t it Jerusalem?
6 Therefore, I will make Samariaa heap of ruins in the countryside,a planting area for a vineyard.I will roll her stones into the valleyand expose her foundations.
7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;all her wages will be burned in the fire,and I will destroy all her idols.Since she collected the wages of a prostitute, they will be used again for a prostitute.
8 Because of this I will lament and wail;I will walk barefoot and naked. I will howl like the jackals and mourn like ostriches.
9 For her wound is incurable and has reached even Judah; it has approached the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
10 Don’t announce it in Gath, don’t weep at all.Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
