5  The inhabitants of Samaria tremble

for ^wthe calf¹ of ^xBeth-aven.

Its people mourn for it, and so do its idolatrous priests—

those who rejoiced over it and ^yover its glory—

for it has departed² from them.

7  ^zThe more they increased,

the more they sinned against me;

^aI will change their glory into shame.
