The Fall of Samaria

How horrible it will be for those who are at ease in Zion,
    for those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria,
        and for the heads of the leading nations,
            to whom the nation of Israel comes.

    Is their territory larger than yours?

    Is their land larger than yours?
