9 Rejoice not, O Israel!
    Exult not like the peoples;
^(A)for you have played the whore, forsaking your God.
    ^(B)You have loved a prostitute's wages
    on all threshing floors.

⁵ The inhabitants of Samaria tremble
    for ^(A)the calf^[a] of ^(B)Beth-aven.
Its people mourn for it, and so do its idolatrous priests—
    those who rejoiced over it and ^(C)over its glory—
    for it has departed^[b] from them.

¹² My people ^(A)inquire of a piece of wood,
    and their walking staff gives them oracles.
For ^(B)a spirit of whoredom has led them astray,
    and they have left their God to play the whore.

¹³ you who rejoice in Lo-debar,^[a]
    who say, ^(A)“Have we not by our own strength
    captured Karnaim^[b] for ourselves?”

^6 (A)who drink wine in bowls
    and ^(B)anoint themselves with the finest oils,
    but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
^7 (C)Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
    and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”
