Woe to them that are at ease in Żiyyon, and trust in the mountain of Shomeron, who are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Yisra᾽el come!

Pass to Kalne, and see; and from there go to Ḥamat the great: then go down to Gat of the Pelishtim: are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border?

You that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

that pluck the strings of the lute, and devise for themselves instruments of music, like David;

that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the ruin of Yosef.

Therefore now they shall go into exile at the head of the exiles; and the revelry of those who stretched themselves out shall pass away.

The Lord God has sworn by himself, The Lord, the God of hosts says, I abhor the pride of Ya῾aqov, and I hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.

And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

And if a man’s uncle, he that burns him, shall take him up, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is in the recesses of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No; then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we must not make mention of the name of the Lord.

For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will smite the great house into splinters, and the little house into chips.

Do horses run upon the rock? does one plough there with oxen? for you have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood:

you who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

For, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Yisra᾽el, says the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Ḥamat to the wadi of the ῾Arava.
