And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered [it] of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot (1:7) Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls (1:8) For her wound [is] incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, [even] to Jerusalem (1:9) Declare ye [it] not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust (1:10) Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing (1:11) For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem (1:12) O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee (1:13) Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib [shall be] a lie to the kings of Israel (1:14) Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel (1:15) Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee
(1:16)
