9. The nation is fatally wounded.Judah is doomed.Jerusalem will fall.
10. Don't tell it in Gath!Don't even cry.Instead, roll in the dustat Beth-Leaphrah.
11. Depart naked and ashamed,you people of Shaphir.The town of Bethezel mournsbecause no one from Zaananwent out to help.
12. Everyone in Marothhoped for the best,but the Lord sent disasterdown on Jerusalem.
