⁹ Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod,
    and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on Mount^[a] Samaria,
    and see what great tumults are within it,
    and what oppressions are in its midst.”
¹⁰ They do not know how to do right, says the Lord,
    those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.
¹¹ Therefore thus says the Lord God:
An adversary shall surround the land,
    and strip you of your defense;
    and your strongholds shall be plundered.
