Warnings to Israel

28 ·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] Samaria [C the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel], the pride of ·Israel’s [L Ephraim’s] drunken people!
    That beautiful ·crown [wreath; garland] of flowers is ·just a dying plant [fading]
set on ·a hill above [L the head of] a rich valley ·where drunkards live [of those overcome with wine].
Look, the Lord has someone who is strong and powerful.
    Like a storm of hail and ·strong [destructive] wind,
like a sudden flood of water pouring over the country,
    he will throw Samaria down to the ground [L with his hand].
