Israel Will Be Destroyed

·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] those who ·have an easy life [are complacent/at ease] in Jerusalem,
    for those who feel ·safe living [secure] on Mount Samaria.
You think you are ·the important people [notable/renowned men] of the ·best nation in the world [first among the nations];
    the ·Israelites [L house of Israel] come to you for help.
Go look at the city of Calneh,
    and from there go to the great city Hamath [C Aramean city-states under the control of Israel];
    then go down to Gath of the Philistines.
·You are no better than these kingdoms [L Are they better than your kingdoms?].
    ·Your land is no larger than theirs [L Is their territory greater than yours?].
