¹³ But you have plowed ·evil [wickedness; iniquity]
    and ·harvested [reaped] ·trouble [evil; injustice];
    you have eaten the fruit of ·your lies [deception; treachery].
Because you have trusted in your own ·power [or chariots]
    and your many ·soldiers [warriors],
¹⁴ ·your people will hear [^Lagainst your people will rise] the ·noise [roar; tumult] of battle,
    and all your ·strong, walled cities [fortresses] will be destroyed.
It will be like the time King Shalman
    destroyed Beth Arbel in battle [2 Kin. 17:3],
    when mothers and their children were ·bashed to death [dashed to pieces].
¹⁵ The same will happen to you, ·people of Bethel [^LBethel],
    because ·you did so much evil [your wickedness is great].
·When the sun comes up [or When judgment day dawns; or As swiftly as the dawn; ^LAt dawn],
    the king of Israel will ·die [^Lbe completely cut off].
