The inhabitants of Samaria are afraid
    for the calf of Beth-aven;[a]
Its people mourn for it
    and its idolatrous priests wail over it,
    —over its glory which has departed from it.(A)
It too will be carried to Assyria,
    as an offering to the great king.[b](B)
Ephraim will be put to shame,
    Israel will be shamed by his schemes.

Samaria and her king will disappear,
    like a twig upon the waters.
