and to the fortresses of Egypt:

“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;

and the oppression among her people.”

10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,

“who store up in their fortresses

what they have plundered and looted.”

9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod,

And in the palaces in the land of Egypt,

And say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria,

And behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,

And the oppressed in the midst thereof.

10 For they know not to do right, saith the Lord,

Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

9 Announce this to the leaders of Philistia

and to the great ones of Egypt:

“Take your seats now on the hills around Samaria,

and witness the chaos and oppression in Israel.”

10 “My people have forgotten how to do right,”

says the Lord.

“Their fortresses are filled with wealth

taken by theft and violence.

9 “Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod,

And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:

‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;

See great tumults in her midst,

And the oppressed within her.

10 For they do not know to do right,’

Says the Lord,

‘Who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.’ ”

9 Announce this to the strong buildings of Ashdod

and to the strong buildings of Egypt:

“Come to the mountains of Samaria,

where you will see great confusion

and people hurting others.”

10 “The people don’t know how to do what is right,” says the Lord.

“Their strong buildings are filled with treasures they took by force from others.”

9 Publish ye in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold what great tumults are therein, and what oppressions in the midst thereof. 10 For they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great uproar in the midst thereof, and the oppressions that are within her: 10 and they know not to do right, saith Jehovah, who store up violence and plunder in their palaces.

9 Announce in the palaces of Ashdod and in the palaces of Egypt, 

“Gather together on the mountains of Samaria. 

See the widespread confusion and oppression in Samaria.” 

10 Those who collect profits in their palaces 

through violent and destructive acts 

don’t know how to do what is right, declares the Lord. 

9 Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod

and on the citadels in the land of Egypt:

Assemble on the mountains of Samaria

and see the great turmoil in the city

and the acts of oppression within it.

10 The people are incapable of doing right —

this is the Lord’s declaration—

those who store up violence and destruction

in their citadels.

9 Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod,

and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,

and say, “Assemble yourselves on Mount Samaria,

and see what great tumults are within it,

and what oppressions are in its midst.”

those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.

9 Proclaim to the citadel fortresses in Ashdod and the citadel fortresses in the land of Egypt and say: “Gather on the mountains of Samaria and see the great panic in her midst and the oppression in her midst!” 10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares Yahweh, “those who store up violence and destruction in their citadel fortresses.”

9 Speak to the people in the forts of Ashdod and Egypt.

Tell them, “Gather together

on the mountains of Samaria.

Look at the great trouble in that city.

Its people are committing many crimes.”

10 “They do not know how to do what is right,”

announces the Lord.

“They pile up stolen goods in their forts.”

9 Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt and say, “Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria and see the great tumults within her and the oppressions in her midst.

10 “But they do not know how to do what is right,” declares the Lord, “these who hoard up violence and devastation in their citadels.”
