5  All this is for ^mthe transgression of Jacob

and for the sins of the house of Israel.

ⁿWhat is the transgression of Jacob?

Is it not ^dSamaria?

And what is ^othe high place of Judah?

Is it not Jerusalem?

6  Therefore I will make ^dSamaria ^pa heap in the open country,

a place for planting vineyards,

and I will pour down her stones ^qinto the valley

and ^runcover her foundations.

7  All ^sher carved images shall be beaten to pieces,

^tall her wages shall be burned with fire,

and all her idols I will lay waste,

for from ^tthe fee of a prostitute she gathered them,

and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.
