6–7“I’m turning Samaria into a heap of rubble,

a vacant lot littered with garbage.

I’ll dump the stones from her buildings in the valley

and leave her abandoned foundations exposed.

All her carved and cast gods and goddesses

will be sold for stove wood and scrap metal,

All her sacred fertility groves

burned to the ground,

All the sticks and stones she worshiped as gods,

destroyed.

These were her earnings from her life as a whore.

This is what happens to the fees of a whore.”

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Therefore I will make Samaria a heap in the open country,

a place for planting vineyards,

and I will pour down her stones into the valley

and uncover her foundations.

All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces,

all her wages shall be burned with fire,

and all her idols I will lay waste,

for from the fee of a prostitute she gathered them,

and to the fee of a prostitute they shall return.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Therefore I will make Samaria a heap of rubble,

a place for planting vineyards.

I will pour her stones into the valley

and lay bare her foundations.

All her idols will be broken to pieces;

all her temple gifts will be burned with fire;

I will destroy all her images.

Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes,

as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Therefore, I will make Samaria

a heap of ruins in the countryside,

a planting area for a vineyard.

I will roll her stones into the valley

and expose her foundations.

All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;

all her wages will be burned in the fire,

and I will destroy all her idols.

Since she collected the wages of a prostitute,

they will be used again for a prostitute.

NLTNew Living Translation

“So I, the Lord, will make the city of Samaria

a heap of ruins.

Her streets will be plowed up

for planting vineyards.

I will roll the stones of her walls into the valley below,

exposing her foundations.

All her carved images will be smashed.

All her sacred treasures will be burned.

These things were bought with the money

earned by her prostitution,

and they will now be carried away

to pay prostitutes elsewhere.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

So I will make Samaria as a heap of rubble in the field,

a place for planting a vineyard.

And I will pour down her stones into the valley

and uncover her foundations.

Then all her idols will be broken in pieces,

and all her prostitution wages will be burned in the fire,

and all her idols I will make a desolation,

For from the wage of a prostitute she gathered them,

and to the wage of a prostitute they will return.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field,

And as plantings of a vineyard:

And I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley,

And I will discover the foundations thereof.

And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces,

And all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire,

And all the idols thereof will I lay desolate:

For she gathered it of the hire of an harlot,

And they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
