The Coming Destruction

“Therefore I will cry out and grieve loudly;
    I will walk around stripped and naked.
I will cry out like a jackal
    and mourn like a company of ostriches.
For Samaria’s[a] injury is fatal,
    reaching all the way to Judah,
        extending even to the gate of my people—to Jerusalem.”

10 “Don’t discuss it in Gath![b]
    Don’t cry bitterly in Akim![c]
        Roll in the ashes, Beth-leaphrah!
