Israel’s Good Times Will Be Taken Away

Oh, look at the people enjoying life in Zion,
    and those on Mount Samaria who feel so safe.
They are such important leaders of a most important nation.
    The “House of Israel” comes to you for advice.
Go look at Calneh.
    From there, go to the large city Hamath.
    Go to the Philistine city of Gath.[a]
Are you better than these kingdoms?
    Their countries are larger than yours.
