See, the Lord is leaving his place
    to come down and walk on the high places[a] of the earth.
The mountains will melt under him
    like wax in a fire.
The valleys will break apart
    and slide like water rushing down a hill.
This will happen because of Jacob’s sin,
    because of the sins of the nation[b] of Israel.

Samaria, the Cause of Sin

What caused Jacob to sin?
    It was Samaria.
Where is the high place in Judah?
    It is Jerusalem.
