13 Harness the horses to the chariot, inhabitants of Lachish!
        It was the beginning of sin for Daughter Zion;
            the crimes of Israel have been found in you.
14 Therefore, you will give good-bye gifts to Moresheth-gath;
        the houses of Achzib have become a deception for the kings of Israel.
15 Again I will bring to you the one who conquers, inhabitants of Mareshah;
        the glory of Israel will come as far as Adullam.

13 You who live in Lachish,(A)
    harness fast horses to the chariot.
You are where the sin of Daughter Zion(B) began,
    for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(C)
    to Moresheth(D) Gath.
The town of Akzib[a](E) will prove deceptive(F)
    to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
    who live in Mareshah.[b](G)
The nobles of Israel
    will flee to Adullam.(H)
