De afgodenaltaars van Aven, waar Israël zondigde, zullen verbrokkelen. Dorens en distels zullen de restanten overwoekeren. En de mensen zullen tegen bergen roepen: ‘Val op ons neer,’ en tegen de heuvels: ‘Bedek ons!’

‘In Gibea is het begonnen, toen hebt u voor het eerst gezondigd en bent er sindsdien niet mee opgehouden. U hebt daarna nooit meer enige vooruitgang geboekt. Was het niet terecht dat de mannen van Gibea werden weggevaagd? 10 Ik zal u straffen voor uw zonden. Ik ga de legers van verschillende volken verzamelen om u daarmee de les te lezen over uw zonden.

The high places(A) of wickedness[a](B) will be destroyed—
    it is the sin of Israel.
Thorns(C) and thistles will grow up
    and cover their altars.(D)
Then they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”(E)
    and to the hills, “Fall on us!”(F)

“Since the days of Gibeah,(G) you have sinned,(H) Israel,
    and there you have remained.[b]
Will not war again overtake
    the evildoers in Gibeah?
10 When I please, I will punish(I) them;
    nations will be gathered against them
    to put them in bonds for their double sin.
