So I will make Samaria a (A)heap of ruins in the field,
(B)Planting places for a vineyard.
And I will (C)pour her stones down into the valley
And will (D)lay bare her foundations.
And all of her (E)graven images will be smashed,
And all of her earnings will be burned with fire
And all of her idols I will make desolate,
For she collected them from a (F)harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.

Because of this I must lament and wail;
I must go (G)barefoot and naked;
I must make a lament like the (H)jackals
And a mourning like the ostriches.

“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
    a place for planting vineyards.(A)
I will pour her stones(B) into the valley
    and lay bare her foundations.(C)
All her idols(D) will be broken to pieces;(E)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.(F)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(G)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

Because of this I will weep(H) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot(I) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.
