Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem

Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(A) place;
    he comes down(B) and treads on the heights of the earth.(C)
The mountains melt(D) beneath him(E)
    and the valleys split apart,(F)
like wax before the fire,
    like water rushing down a slope.
All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
    because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
    Is it not Samaria?(G)
What is Judah’s high place?
    Is it not Jerusalem?

“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,
    a place for planting vineyards.(H)
I will pour her stones(I) into the valley
    and lay bare her foundations.(J)
All her idols(K) will be broken to pieces;(L)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.(M)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(N)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

Because of this I will weep(O) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot(P) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.

Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord(A) rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice(B) of God Almighty[a] when he speaks.(C)

Now the glory(A) of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim,(B) where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. Then the Lord called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side and said to him, “Go throughout the city of Jerusalem(C) and put a mark(D) on the foreheads of those who grieve and lament(E) over all the detestable things that are done in it.(F)

As I listened, he said to the others, “Follow him through the city and kill, without showing pity(G) or compassion.(H) Slaughter(I) the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children,(J) but do not touch anyone who has the mark.(K) Begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the old men(L) who were in front of the temple.(M)
