13 You have plowed wickedness, reaped iniquity
and eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you trusted in your own way,
in your large numbers of warriors,
14 turmoil will erupt among your peoples,
and all your fortresses will be destroyed;
just as Shalman destroyed Beit-Arbel
on the day of battle,
when mothers were dashed to pieces
right along with their children.
15 Thus will be done to you, Beit-El,
because of your great wickedness;
at dawn the king of Isra’el
will be completely cut off.

13 But you have planted wickedness,
    you have reaped evil,(A)
    you have eaten the fruit of deception.(B)

    and on your many warriors,(C)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
    so that all your fortresses will be devastated(D)
as Shalman(E) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
    when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(F)
15 So will it happen to you, Bethel,
    because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
    the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(G)
