5 The dweller of Samaria will fear
For the [a](A)calf of (B)Beth-aven.
Indeed, its people will mourn for it,
And its (C)idolatrous priests [b]will cry out over it,
Over its (D)glory, since it has gone into exile from them.
6 The thing itself will be carried to (E)Assyria
As tribute to [c](F)King Jareb;
Ephraim will (G)receive shame,
And Israel will be ashamed of its (H)own counsel.
7 Samaria will be (I)ruined with her king
Like a stick on the surface of the water.
8 Also the (J)high places of Aven, the (K)sin of Israel, will be [d]eradicated;
(L)Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars;
Then they will (M)say to the mountains,
“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

14 Therefore a rumbling will arise among your people,
And all your (A)fortifications will be destroyed,
As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
When (B)mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
15 Thus it will be done to you at Bethel because of your evil of evils.
At dawn the king of Israel will be completely ruined.

5 But do not seek (A)Bethel,
And do not come to (B)Gilgal,
Nor cross over to (C)Beersheba;
For Gilgal will certainly go into [a]exile,
And Bethel will become [b]evil.
6 (D)Seek Yahweh that you may live,
Lest He come mightily like a (E)fire, [c]O house of Joseph,
And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,
