Although you, O Israel, commit adultery, do not let Judah become guilty! Do not journey to Gilgal! Do not go up to Beth Aven!1 Do not swear, “As surely as the Lord lives!”
The inhabitants1 of Samaria will lament2 over the calf idol3 of Beth Aven.4 Its people will mourn over it; its idolatrous priests will wail5 over it,6 because its splendor will be taken from them7 into exile.
