12 For the inhabitant of [a]Maroth
[b](A)Waits for something good,
Because a disaster has come down from the Lord
To the (B)gate of Jerusalem.
13 Harness the chariot to the team of horses,
You inhabitant of (C)Lachish—
She was the beginning of sin
To the daughter of Zion—
Because in you were found
The (D)rebellious acts of Israel.
14 Therefore you will give parting (E)gifts
In behalf of Moresheth-gath;
The houses of (F)Achzib will become a [c](G)deception
To the kings of Israel.
