10 In Gath do not tell—in Acco do not weep, || In Beth-Aphrah, roll yourself in dust. 11 Pass over for you, O inhabitant of Shaphir, || Naked one of shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not gone out, || The lamentation of Beth-Ezel takes from you its standing. 12 For the inhabitant of Maroth has stayed for good, || For calamity has come down from YHWH to the gate of Jerusalem. 13 Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish, || The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, || For in you have been found the transgressions of Israel. 14 Therefore you give presents to Moresheth-Gath, || The houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel. 15 Yet I bring the possessor to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah, || The glory of Israel comes to Adullam. 16 Make bald and shave, for your delightful sons, || Enlarge your baldness as an eagle, || For they have removed from you!
