13 You have plowed wickedness.
    You have reaped injustice.
    You have eaten the fruit of your lies,
    because you trusted in your own way,
    in the large number of your strong warriors.
14 Therefore the roar of battle will rise against your people,
    and all your fortresses will be destroyed,
    as Shalman[a] devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle.

    because of your great wickedness.
    At dawn the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.
