⁴ We are objects of contempt to our neighbors,
    of scorn^(A) and derision to those around us.^(B)

¹⁶ You have observed the statutes of Omri^(A)
    and all the practices of Ahab’s^(B) house;
    you have followed their traditions.^(C)
Therefore I will give you over to ruin^(D)
    and your people to derision;
    you will bear the scorn^(E) of the nations.^[a]”
