11. Pass on, you who dwell in Saphir— nakedness and shame— she who dwells in Zaanan will not come out. Wailing of Beth-ezel: He will take from you its standing-place.
12. For she who dwells in Maroth has languished for something good. For calamity has come down from Adonai to Jerusalem’s gate.
13. Harness the chariot to the steed, O inhabitant of Lachish! It was the beginning of sin for the Daughter of Zion— because in you were found the rebellions of Israel.
14. Therefore you will give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath—houses of Achzib as a deception to the kings of Israel.
15. Yet I will bring the possessor to you, inhabitant of Mareshah. The glory of Israel will come as far as Adullam.
