For behold, Yahweh is (A)going forth from His place.
He will come down and (B)tread on the high places of the [a]earth.
(C)The mountains will melt under Him,
And the valleys will be split,
Like wax before the fire,
Like water poured down a steep place.
All this is for the transgression of Jacob
And for the sins of the house of Israel.
What is the (D)transgression of Jacob?
Is it not (E)Samaria?
What is the (F)high [b]place of Judah?
Is it not Jerusalem?

Judgment Against Samaria and Jerusalem

Look! The Lord is coming from his dwelling(A) place;
    he comes down(B) and treads on the heights of the earth.(C)
The mountains melt(D) beneath him(E)
    and the valleys split apart,(F)
like wax before the fire,
    like water rushing down a slope.
All this is because of Jacob’s transgression,
    because of the sins of the people of Israel.
What is Jacob’s transgression?
    Is it not Samaria?(G)
What is Judah’s high place?
    Is it not Jerusalem?
