2
Hear, you peoples, all of you. Listen, O eretz, and all that is therein: And let the Lord GOD be witness against you, The Lord from his holy temple.
3
For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place, And will come down and tread on the high places of the eretz.
4
The mountains melt under him, And the valleys split apart, Like wax before the fire, Like waters that are poured down a steep place.
5
"All this is for the disobedience of Ya`akov, And for the sins of the house of Yisra'el. What is the disobedience of Ya`akov? Isn't it Shomron? And what are the high places of Yehudah? Aren't they Yerushalayim?
6
Therefore I will make Shomron like a rubble heap of the field, Like places for planting vineyards; And I will pour down its stones into the valley, And I will uncover its foundations.
7
All her idols will be beaten to pieces, And all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, And all her images I will destroy; For of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, And to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
