For I will make Samaria a (A)heap of ruins [a]in the open country,
(B)Planting places for a vineyard.
I will (C)hurl her stones down into the valley,
And (D)lay bare her foundations.
All of her (E)idols will be crushed,
All of her earnings will be burned with fire,
And all of her images I will make desolate;
For she collected them from a (F)prostitute’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.

Because of this I must mourn and wail,
I must go (G)barefoot and naked;
I must do mourning like the (H)jackals,
And a mourning like the ostriches.
