11. You people in Shaphir,go as captives into exile—naked and ashamed.The people of Zaanandare not come outside their walls.The people of Beth-ezel mourn,for their house has no support.
12. The people of Maroth anxiously wait for relief,but only bitterness awaits themas the lord’s judgment reacheseven to the gates of Jerusalem.
13. Harness your chariot horses and flee,you people of Lachish.You were the first city in Judahto follow Israel in her rebellion,and you led Jerusalem into sin.
14. Send farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath;there is no hope of saving it.The town of Aczibhas deceived the kings of Israel.
15. O people of Mareshah,I will bring a conqueror to capture your town.And the leaders of Israelwill go to Adullam.
