³¹ You have gone the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.

¹⁴ therefore I will do to the house that is called by my name, in which you trust, and to the place that I gave to you and to your ancestors just what I did to Shiloh.^{(A) 15} And I will cast you out of my sight, just as I cast out all your kinsfolk, all the offspring of Ephraim.^(B)

¹³ I will stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line for Samaria and the plummet for the house of Ahab; I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.^(A)

¹² He has confirmed his words that he spoke against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a calamity so great that what has been done against Jerusalem has never before been done under the whole heaven.^(A)

¹³ And I saw that she was defiled; they both took the same way.

⁴⁷ You not only followed their ways and acted according to their abominations; within a very little time you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.^{(A) 48} As I live, says the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done.^{(B) 49} This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease but did not aid the poor and needy.^{(C) 50} They were haughty and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it.^{(D) 51} Samaria has not committed half your sins; you have committed more abominations than they and have made your sisters appear righteous by all the abominations that you have committed.^(E)

⁸ She^[a] saw that for all the adulteries of that faithless one, Israel, I had sent her away with a decree of divorce, yet her false sister Judah did not fear, but she also went and prostituted herself.^{(A) 9} Because she took her prostitution so lightly, she polluted the land, committing adultery with stone and tree.^{(B) 10} Yet for all this her false sister Judah did not return to me with her whole heart but only in pretense, says the Lord.^(C)

¹¹ Then the Lord said to me: Faithless Israel has shown herself less guilty than false Judah.^(D)
