8For this I will lament and wail; I will go shaven and naked; I will make lamentation like jackals and mourning like daughters of the ostrich.9For her wounds are incurable, for it has come as far as Judah; it has reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.10Do not tell it in Gath. Do not weep, do not weep in the house of God. To Ophrah: roll in dust!11Pass over in nakedness and shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir; she has not gone out, the inhabitant of Zaanan, from the house of mourning; the house of Ezel will take from you its standing place.12For she has grown sick for good, the inhabitant of Maroth; for evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.13Harness the chariot to Rakkon, O inhabitant of Lachish; it is the primacy of sin to daughter Zion, for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.14Therefore you will give parting gifts to the possession of Gath; the houses of Achzib will be a deception for the kings of Israel.15Yet to Heir-Shaphir I will bring you, inhabitant of Mareshah; to Adullam will come the glory of Israel.16Make yourself bald and shave over the Beni your delights; widen your baldness like a vulture, for they have gone into exile from you.
