See, the Lord is coming out of his place in heaven.
    He is coming down to walk on the tops of the mountains.
The mountains will melt under him
    like wax in a fire.
The valleys will crack open
    as if split by water raging down a mountain.
This is because of Jacob’s sin.
    It is because of the sins of the nation of Israel.
Who is responsible for Jacob’s sin?
    Samaria!
Who is responsible for Judah’s worshiping idols?
    Jerusalem!
