12. Those who live in Marothwill be anxious for good news to come.This is because trouble will come from the Lord.It will come all the way to the gate of Jerusalem.
13. You people living in Lachish,harness the fastest horse to the chariot.Jerusalem’s sins started in you.This is because you followed in Israel’s sins.
14. So you must give farewell giftsto Moresheth in Gath.The houses in Aczib will be false helpto the kings of Israel.
15. I will bring an enemy against youwho live in Mareshah.He will take what you own.The leaders Israel brags aboutwill hide in the cave at Adullam.
