All who live in Samaria tremble
with concern for the idols[a]
    at sinful Bethel.[b]
The idol there was the pride
    of the priests,
but it has been put to shame;
    now everyone will cry.
It will be taken to Assyria
    and given to the great king.
Then Israel will be disgraced
    for worshiping that idol.

Like a twig in a stream,
the king of Samaria
    will be swept away.
