14 Therefore you will give parting gifts(A)
    to Moresheth(B) Gath.
The town of Akzib[a](C) will prove deceptive(D)
    to the kings of Israel.
15 I will bring a conqueror against you
    who live in Mareshah.[b](E)
The nobles of Israel
    will flee to Adullam.(F)

    for the children in whom you delight;
make yourself as bald as the vulture,
    for they will go from you into exile.(H)
