14 Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath—
houses of Achzib as a deception to the kings of Israel.
15 Yet I will bring the possessor to you,
    inhabitant of Mareshah.
The glory of Israel will come
    as far as Adullam.
16 Shave yourself bald,
yes shear your hair for the children of your delight.
Enlarge your bald spot like a vulture,
for they went from you into exile.

    who live in Mareshah.[b](E)

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