13 You have plowed wickedness.
    You have reaped iniquity,
    and you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your power
    and in the numbers of your warriors,
14 therefore a tumult will arise among your people,
    and all your fortresses will be destroyed
as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle;
    mothers were dashed to pieces upon their children.
15 So will it be done to you, O Bethel,
    because of your great wickedness.
At dawn
    the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.

    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)

    because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
    the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(G)
