And her [a]villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.

The alarm of war.

New King James Version
46 “Your elder sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and (A)your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters. 47 You did not walk in their ways nor act according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, (B)you became more corrupt than they in all your ways.
48 “As I live,” says the Lord God, “neither (C)your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done. 49 Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, (D)fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50 And they were haughty and (E)committed abomination before Me; therefore (F)I took them away as [a]I saw fit.
51 “Samaria did not commit (G)half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and (H)have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done. 52 You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because the sins which you committed were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters.
53 (I)“When I bring back their captives, the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters, then I will also bring back (J)the captives of your captivity among them, 54 that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did when (K)you comforted them. 55 When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.
