⁹ Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod^(A)
    and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;^(B)
    see the great unrest within her
    and the oppression among her people.”

¹⁰ “They do not know how to do right,^(A)” declares the Lord,
    “who store up in their fortresses^(B)
    what they have plundered^(C) and looted.”

“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s^(A) mouth
    only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
    with only the head of a bed
    and a piece of fabric^[a] from a couch.^[b](B)”

¹⁵ I will tear down the winter house^(A)
    along with the summer house;^(B)
the houses adorned with ivory^(C) will be destroyed
    and the mansions^(D) will be demolished,^(E)”
declares the Lord.^(F)
