For I will make Samaria a (A)heap of ruins [a]in the open country,
(B)Planting places for a vineyard.
I will (C)pour her stones down into the valley
And will (D)lay bare her foundations.
All of her (E)idols will be smashed,
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)harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.

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