14. Therefore you shall give parting giftsto Moresheth-gath;the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thingto the kings of Israel.
15. I will again bring a conqueror to you,inhabitants of Mareshah;the glory of Israelshall come to Adullam.
16. Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair,for the children of your delight; make yourselves as bald as the eagle,for they shall go from you into exile.
