The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
    for the calf[a] of Beth-aven.
Its people shall mourn for it,
    and its idolatrous priests shall wail[b] over it,
    over its glory that has departed from it.
The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria
    as tribute to the great king.[c]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
    and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.[d]

Samaria’s king shall perish
    like a chip on the face of the waters.
