rubbish which are burned?
before his associates and the army of
Samaria, saying, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Can they restore the wall by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of

Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
For this thing is from Israel— a
craftsman made it, and it is not God. It will be broken to pieces, that
calf of
Samaria.
The inhabitants of
Samaria shall fear because of the
calves of Beth-
aven: for the people thereof shall
mourn over it, and the priests thereof that
rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
The people of
Samaria will fear for the
calf of Beth-
aven. Indeed, its people will
mourn with its
idolatrous priests— those who
rejoiced in its glory— for it has been taken from them into exile.
As for
Samaria, her king is cut off as the
foam upon the water.
Samaria will be carried off with her king like a
twig on the surface of the water.
Samaria shall become
desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be
dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be
ripped up.
Samaria will bear her guilt because she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be
dashed to pieces, and their
pregnant women
ripped open.
Publish in the palaces at
Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say,
Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of
Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the
oppressed in the midst thereof.
Proclaim to the citadels of
Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: “
Assemble on the mountains of
Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression in her midst.”
Thus saith the LORD; As the
shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in
Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a
couch.
This is what the LORD says: “As the
shepherd snatches from the mouth of the lion two legs or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites dwelling in
Samaria will be
rescued having just the corner of a bed or the
cushion of a
couch.
Hear this word, ye
kine of
Bashan, that are in the mountain of
Samaria, which
oppress the poor, which
crush the
needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
Hear this word, you cows of
Bashan on Mount
Samaria, you women who
oppress the poor and
crush the
needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”
Woe to them that are at ease in
Zion, and trust in the mountain of
Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
Woe to those at ease in
Zion and those secure on Mount
Samaria, the distinguished ones of the foremost nation, to whom the house of Israel comes.
