10 Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t cry in Acco. Roll yourself in the dust at Beth Ophrah.
11 You people living in Shaphir, pass on your way, naked and ashamed. The people living in Zaanan will not come out. The people in Beth Ezel will cry and take their support from you.
12 The people living in Maroth wait for something good to happen, even though trouble has come down from the Lord and has reached the city gate of Jerusalem.
13 You people living in Lachish, get the horses ready for your chariots. You are guilty of the same sins Israel committed, and you brought those sins to Jerusalem.
14 So you must give goodbye gifts to Moresheth in Gath. The houses in Aczib will trick the kings of Israel.
15 You people who live in Mareshah, I will bring someone against you who will take the things you own. The Glory of Israel will come into Adullam.
