1:8 For this reason I 1 will mourn and wail;
I will walk around barefoot 2 and without my outer garments. 3
I will howl 4 like a wild dog, 5
and screech 6 like an owl. 7
1:9 For Samaria’s 8 disease 9 is incurable.
It has infected 10 Judah;
it has spread to 11 the leadership 12 of my people
and has even contaminated Jerusalem! 13
