The mountains will melt under him
    like wax in a fire.
The valleys will break apart
    and slide like water rushing down a hill.
This will happen because of Jacob’s sin,
    because of the sins of the nation[a] of Israel.

Samaria, the Cause of Sin

What caused Jacob to sin?
    It was Samaria.
Where is the high place in Judah?
    It is Jerusalem.
So I will change Samaria into a pile of rocks in the field,
    a place ready for planting grapes.
I will push Samaria’s stones down into the valley,
    leaving nothing but the foundations.
