The inhabitants[a] of Samaria tremble
    for the calf[b] of Beth-aven.
Indeed, his people will mourn for it,
    and his idolatrous priests will wail[c] over it—
    over its glory because it has departed from it.
It will also be brought to Assyria,
    as tribute to the great king.[d]
Ephraim will obtain disgrace
    and Israel will be ashamed from his advice.[e]
Samaria will be destroyed;
    her king is like a chip on the surface of the water.
