All of her (A)idols will be crushed,
All of her earnings will be burned with fire,
And all of her images I will make desolate;
For she collected them from a (B)prostitute’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a prostitute they will return.

Because of this I must mourn and wail,
I must go (C)barefoot and naked;
I must do mourning like the (D)jackals,
And a mourning like the ostriches.
For her (E)wound is incurable,
For (F)it has come to Judah;
It has reached the (G)gate of my people,
Even to Jerusalem.

All her idols(A) will be broken to pieces;(B)
    all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;
    I will destroy all her images.(C)
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,(D)
    as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

Weeping and Mourning

Because of this I will weep(E) and wail;
    I will go about barefoot(F) and naked.
I will howl like a jackal
    and moan like an owl.
For Samaria’s plague(G) is incurable;(H)
    it has spread to Judah.(I)
It has reached the very gate(J) of my people,
    even to Jerusalem itself.
