² Their heart is false;
    now they must bear their guilt.
The Lord^[a] will break down their altars
    and destroy their pillars.^(A)

⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
    for the calf^[a] of Beth-aven.
Its people shall mourn for it,
    and its idolatrous priests shall wail^[b] over it,
    over its glory that has departed from it.^(A)

⁶ For even if they escape destruction,
    Egypt shall gather them;
    Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;^[a]
    thorns shall be in their tents.^(A)
