10 Don’t report it in Gath. Don’t cry there.
    Roll in the dust of Beth Leaphrah.[a]
11 Pass by, naked and ashamed, inhabitants of Shaphir.
    Don’t come out, inhabitants of Zaanan.
    Beth Ezel is in mourning.
        It will take its support away from you.
12 Wait anxiously for good, inhabitants of Maroth.
    From Yahweh disaster will come on the gates of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the horses to the chariots, inhabitants of Lachish.
    You were the first to lead the people of Zion into sin.
        The rebellious acts of Israel are found in you.
14 That is why you will give farewell gifts to Moresheth Gath.
    The town of Achzib will betray the kings of Israel.
15 I will again bring a conqueror against the inhabitants of Mareshah.
    The glory of Israel will come to Adullam.
16 Shave your head in mourning for the children you love.
    Make yourselves as bald as vultures
        because your children will be taken from you into exile.
