(A)The mountains will melt under Him
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.

And the sins of the house of Israel.

Is it not (C)Samaria?
What is the (D)high [c]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?
For I will make Samaria a (E)heap of ruins [d]in the open country,
(F)Planting places for a vineyard.
I will (G)hurl her stones down into the valley,
And (H)lay bare her foundations.
