10 aTell it not in Gath,
Weep not at all.
At Beth‑le‑aphrah roll yourself in the dust.
11 Pass on by, inhabitant of Shaphir, in ashameful nakedness.
The inhabitant of bZaanan does not go out.
The lamentation of Beth‑ezel: “He will take from you its support.”
12 For the inhabitant of Maroth
Writhes ain waiting for good
Because a calamity has come down from Yahweh
To the bgate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
O inhabitant of aLachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The btransgressions of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting agifts
On behalf of Moresheth‑gath;
The houses of bAchzib will become a cdeception
To the kings of Israel.
15 Moreover, I will bring on you
The one who takes possession,
O inhabitant of aMareshah.
The glory of Israel will enter bAdullam.
16 Make yourself abald and cut off your hair,
Because of the children of your delight;
Extend your baldness like the eagle,
For they will bgo from you into exile.
