All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the transgression of Jacob?
Is it not Samaria?
And what are the (A)high places of Judah?
Are they not Jerusalem?

“Therefore I will make Samaria (B)a heap of ruins in the field,
Places for planting a vineyard;
I will pour down her stones into the valley,
And I will (C)uncover her foundations.
All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,
And all her (D)pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire;
All her idols I will lay desolate,
For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot,
And they shall return to the (E)pay of a harlot.”
