11 Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of [a]Shaphir;
The inhabitant of [b]Zaanan does not go out.
Beth Ezel mourns;
Its place to stand is taken away from you.

12 For the inhabitant of [c]Maroth [d]pined for good,
But (A)disaster came down from the Lord
To the gate of Jerusalem.
13 O inhabitant of (B)Lachish,
Harness the chariot to the swift steeds
(She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion),
For the transgressions of Israel were (C)found in you.
