9 because Samaria’s wound cannot be healed.It will spread to Judah;it will reach the city gate of my people,all the way to Jerusalem.
10 Don’t tell it in Gath.Don’t cry in Acco.Roll in the dustat Beth Ophrah.
11 Pass on your way, naked and ashamed,you who live in Shaphir.Those who live in Zaananwon’t come out.The people in Beth Ezel will cry,but they will not give you any support.
12 Those who live in Marothwill be anxious for good news to come,because trouble will come from the Lord,all the way to the gate of Jerusalem.
13 You people living in Lachish,harness the fastest horse to the chariot.Jerusalem’s sins started in you;yes, Israel’s sins were found in you.
14 So you must give farewell giftsto Moresheth in Gath.The houses in Aczib will be false helpto the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring against you people who will take your land,you who live in Mareshah.The glory of Israelwill go in to Adullam.
