4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making [b]a covenant: thus [c]judgment groweth as wormwood in the furrows of the field.
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall [d]fear because of the calf of Beth Aven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the [e]Chemarims thereof, that rejoiced on it for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
