You have plowed and planted wickedness, you have reaped the [willful] injustice [of oppressors],
You have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way and your chariots, and in your many warriors,
14 
Therefore an uproar will arise among your people,
And all your fortresses will be destroyed,
As Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle,
When mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.(A)
15

At daybreak the king of Israel will be completely cut off.

    and on your many warriors,(C)
14 the roar of battle will rise against your people,
    so that all your fortresses will be devastated(D)
as Shalman(E) devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle,
    when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children.(F)

    because your wickedness is great.
When that day dawns,
    the king of Israel will be completely destroyed.(G)
